- Start with bronzers and blushes. Bronzers are good for people who tend to like a more nude type of everyday look. Easy to maintain, easy to carry, and easy to rock of course.

- Use bronzers that have shimmers to get that glow back.
- Chose a highlight that goes well with the blush and bronzers you have selected.
- Starting for eye shadows put a good two or three transition shades. Preferably brown to nude. A darker shade, a lighter shade and medium colored shade.

- Go for a few satin metallic lighter shades, which you can put on your lid or just on the inner corner of your eye. Totally depends on you.
- Finally, add some bright pop colors for days when you feel like shining bright.

Use a lighter shade compared to your skin on area that will naturally reflect light, your brow bone, or the top part of your cheekbones. In the end, apply a tint of rose color on your cheeks and blend everything together
Using A Color Correcting Palette
A good color correcting palette tends to include different shades of concealer to blend in colors which are on the opposite side of the color scale. For instance

- Peach can neutralize dark circles
- Use yellow when dealing with discoloration.
Use this color correcting concealer under the foundation you have applied. This way the bright colors will not be visible once you have you the makeup on.
