Bright makeup can sometimes seem like candy\u2014so tempting, but you just don\u2019t need it. A safe set of neutrals might be way less fun, but it\u2019s also way more practical. After all, outside of 80s-themed parties, where are you actually going to wear that turquoise shadow?<\/p>\n\n<p>Does this sound like you? You\u2019re not alone!<\/p>\n\n<p>Some people are totally comfortable going over the top in their everyday looks, but many of us aren\u2019t. But just because you tend to shy away from color doesn\u2019t mean you have to ditch it altogether! Adding subtle touches of color to your makeup can help you make a statement without feeling like a clown.<\/p>\n\n<p>Read on for our top 6 tips on how to use those vibrant shades for more than just editorial shoots and avant-garde creations!<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/6-subtle-ways-to-add-color-to-your-makeup\/#1_One_color_one_eye_feature\" >1.

One color, one eye feature <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<p>Appropriately enough, the magic number for our first tip is&#8230; one! This is the absolute simplest rule to follow if you\u2019re worried about your look getting too wild.<\/p>\n\n<p>When we say feature, think small. Pick one part of your eye: upper lashline, lower lashline, inner lid, outer lid&#8230; you get the picture. Now pick your color, and apply it to only that part of the eye.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s easiest to start with lighter colors, but a darker color will definitely be dramatic. If that\u2019s the look you\u2019re going for, start out close to the lashline to keep it from getting overpowering.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"372\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_358915889_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with subtle blue eyeliner\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_358915889_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_358915889_ed-260x300.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Pair your color with neutrals to help tone it down. There\u2014you&#8217;ll add color to your makeup, but it\u2019ll be subtle enough for anyone who\u2019s color-shy.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Colored_mascara\"><\/span>2. Colored mascara<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Despite its tendency to get associated with the tacky, you actually can class up colored mascara. The trick, like with any kind of makeup, is knowing how to wear it. We\u2019ve picked out three different ways to experiment with colored mascara, from the cautious to the bold:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li><b>Just the tips.<\/b> Apply your black mascara as usual and let it dry. Then apply your colored mascara to the tips of your lashes for just a hint of color.<\/li>\n<li><b>Bottom lash.<\/b> Stick with black mascara for your top lashes, but brighten up the look by coating your bottom lashes in color.<\/li>\n<li><b>The real deal.<\/b> Go for colored mascara on both sets of lashes. You\u2019ll probably need a few coats to get the color to really pop.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Resist the temptation to match your shadow or liner to your mascara\u2014we promise, it won\u2019t look as cool as you think. Instead, keep the rest of your eye bare, or use just a bit of black or grey liner. As for the rest of your face, keep it clean and simple\u2014colored lashes are a statement enough on their own.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_it_classic\"><\/span>3. Keep it classic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>And what\u2019s more classic than red lipstick? There\u2019s a reason this vintage look is still going strong: a) it\u2019s deceptively easy to pull off, and b) it\u2019s a knockout!<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_312282224_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Woman with red lipstick\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_312282224_ed.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_312282224_ed-218x300.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<p>The key to rocking a rosy red pout is in what you do with the rest of your face. Just like colored mascara, red lipstick is a statement enough on its own. If a red pout is already a stretch for you in terms of color, make sure you don\u2019t get too heavy-handed with the eyes\u2014and especially not with the blush. Stick with subtle tones that will enhance your skin\u2019s natural glow.<\/p>\n\n<p>And okay, we\u2019ll admit that scarlet lips aren\u2019t exactly subtle. If you\u2019re still a little intimidated, add color to your makeup with a shade that\u2019s a little more muted (think berry shades or lip stains with less pigment).<\/p>\n\n<p>There are a million different ways to wear red lipstick, so experiment! Find a shade you love and take it for a test-run.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Muted_liner\"><\/span>4. Muted liner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>A colorful liner is an easy way to brighten up a neutral look\u2014but even that might be a little too daring for some. Maybe you\u2019re trying to ease into colored liner, or maybe you\u2019ve got a crazy new color you just don\u2019t know how to wear; either way, we\u2019ve got an easy fix!<\/p>\n\n<p>Tone down your colored liner by pairing it with black. You\u2019ve got three options:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li><b>Color over black:<\/b> Apply your black liner as usual, then trace the colored liner over it. Smudge them gently together, and you\u2019ll end up with an almost-black liner that gives you a deeper, richer shade of color.<\/li>\n<li><b>Color under black:<\/b> Same as above, but the color goes on first. With your black liner on top, you\u2019ll get little peaks of color without anything too striking.<\/li>\n<li><b>Color above black:<\/b> Tracing a thin line of color above your favorite black liner lets you add a hint of color to your everyday look.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re ready to go for something brighter, balancing your color out with a little black is still a handy trick for keeping things grounded.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Peach_and_pink\"><\/span>5. Peach and pink<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Enough with the eyes\u2014it\u2019s time to show the rest of your face a little love. Eyes or lips might be the main event for most vibrant looks, but they\u2019re not the only place you can add a little color. Why not add color to your makeup by changing up your blush routine?<\/p>\n\n<p>Most of the beauty info on blush is either a warning to keep it light or a suggestion to forgo it altogether, but there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t build your look around a pretty peach or bright pink blush. Plus, if your face is experiencing a little winter wash-out, there\u2019s nothing better than a strong pink hue for giving your skin a healthy-looking glow.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"421\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_286414280_ed.jpg\" alt=\"Woman wearing pink blush\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_286414280_ed.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/shutterstock_286414280_ed-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>To avoid the dreaded clown look, skip the apples of your cheeks and apply it higher up on your cheekbone. And, like many of our other top picks for subtle color, a bright blush looks best when it\u2019s the focal point on the face: natural skin and a little mascara is all you need to finish off the look.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Start_with_the_nails\"><\/span>6. Start with the nails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Still not sold? The simplest way to start bringing some subtle color to your makeup is to experiment with brighter shades of polish for your fingers and toes.<\/p>\n\n<p>While you might be worrying over whether a jewel-toned liner or punchy lipstick actually compliments your skin tone, it\u2019s a lot easier to let loose with polish. Your hands tend to get less attention than your face, and because your hands are otherwise a makeup-free zone you don\u2019t have to worry about going overboard.<\/p>\n\n<p>Just keep your nails short, clean, and shaped, and prepare to get wild. Neon? Glitter? Go for it! Your nails are the perfect place to wear that shade you might be a little hesitant about on your eyes.<\/p>\n\n<h3><i>Now you&#8217;re ready to add color to your makeup\u2014but what colors should you go for?
