<\/span><\/h2>\n\nWhen dreaming up a color scheme for a particular makeup look, you’ll want to make use of the color wheel. The color wheel is specifically designed to show the different relationships between the colors, letting you know which ones can live harmoniously with one another and will be visually appealing to the eye.<\/p> \n\n
Here are the color schemes that you should know:<\/p>\n\n
Complementary:<\/b> Two colors that are directly opposite the other and have the same intensity<\/p>\n\n
Double Complementary:<\/b> Two sets of complementary colors that are close together on the wheel<\/p>\n\n
Split Complementary:<\/b> Uses a single color plus both colors on either side of its complementary color<\/p>\n\n
Triad:<\/b> A group of three colors that are of equal distance from one another on the color wheel<\/p>\n\n
Tetrad:<\/b> A group of four colors that are of equal distance from one another<\/p>\n\n
Adjacent\/Analogous:<\/b> Two or three colors next to eachother on the color wheel<\/p>\n\n
Monochromatic:<\/b> The combination of different tints, shades, and tones using only one hue<\/p>\n\n
As a makeup artist, you can create a color scheme in order to achieve a certain effect. If you want to create an intense, colorful look, perhaps go with a double complementary scheme. If you or a client wants a more subtle color combination, go with an adjacent or monochromatic scheme.<\/p>\n\n
And there you have it, the basics of some color theory for makeup! Remember to put the infographic to good use and refer to it when you need a little color theory 101.<\/p> \n\n
