All color starts here

Secondary Colors

A secondary color is achieved when two primary colors are combined in equal

amounts so….

The secondary colors are

Red + Blue = Violet

Red + Yellow = Orange

Blue + Yellow = Green

Color Schemes Monochromatic – One color

used throughout

Pick the color of your choice and use it eyes, cheeks and lips – classic traditional and universally wearable.

on the color wheel (yellow, yellow/green and green)

Using color theory makes planning your makeup design more artistry and less guess

work!
