We use both make-up and jewelry to accent our outfits and express ourselves. They provide us with the ultimate finishing touches to our look, that we need to flaunt our creativity and personality. They help us highlight our best features and bring forth our unique individual styles. With so many similarities between them, it only makes sense for us to mix and match them. Specifically in a way that not only complements each other but also soars up the overall resplendence.

Let's understand some basic requirements that are more or less needed to gain a harmonizing balance between makeup and jewelry.

Understand Colors and Their Effects

Both jewelry and makeup come in an abundance of colors. From dark hues, earthy tones to cool colors, there are tons available. A basic understanding of color wheel, which includes color contrasting, color blocking, color clashing etc., is required. It is needed to create a perfect look.

Understanding of Highlighting

Jewelry and make-up can be used in a way to highlight each other and not only the outfit. So understanding how highlighting works is absolutely essential. Let me give you an example of it. If you are wearing a pair of diamond chandelier earrings, then highlight its glimmer by adding glittery white eyeliner to your eyes. This way they will accentuate each other.

Knowledge of Different Finishes

As you may already know, both of these come in different finishes. They come in an array of finishes like matte, silk, rough textures, smooth, polished, etc. Become aware of all the finishes that jewelry and makeup usually come in. This way, the job becomes very simple to match them up and get a look that dribbles with perfection. For example, a matte gold ring will go well with a matte finish foundation.

With this basic understanding of jewelry and makeup, let's find out some looks that flawlessly blend the two with a symphony of awesomeness.

By playing around with jewelry and cosmetics, you can either let things blend perfectly or create a clashing effect. And trust us, both of these techniques will help you in achieving various unique looks. So, let's divulge into two looks that are clashing. And two looks that are matching. Oh! and one more, that will always make you a divine entity in any gathering.

Matching Looks

Two-Tone Eyeshadow With Two-Tone Jewelry

By blending two different eyeshadows, you can create a mesmerizing effect on your upper eyelid. It will bring an edged look to your facial features. Now, if you combine it with a two-toned or colored jewelry item, it will be a match made in heaven. This will be far better if you can keep the colour the same for the eyeshadow and the jewelry. So, take two eyeshadows. One, a sparkly shade of gold and one of silver. Then blend them to create a two-tone effect. Now, infuse the magic by pairing it with a two tone diamond bracelet. Make sure that it has a mixture of yellow and white diamonds.

Pale Blue or Nude Lipstick With Diamond Jewelry

Nothing complements fine diamond jewelry more than subtle makeup. Pair a nude lip color or a pale blue eyeshadow with fine diamond jewelry pieces to bring in the both "wow" and "subtle beauty" factors. A white gold diamond tennis bracelet will play up the toned-down teal of your eyeshadow. On the other hand, nude lipstick will give a neutral background for your diamond necklace to create more illumination.

Clashing Looks

Textured Makeup and Minimalist Jewelry

Create a ravishingly clashing look with makeup full of textures that brings in the "funk," then dial it down with minimalist jewelry items. Consider wearing makeup like designed or patterned eyeshadows or stick makeup beads to your eyes or lips to give some texture then, pair it with minimalist fine jewelry. Say a simple diamond pendant necklace or diamond eternity bands.

A Complete Clash of Colors

Go crazy and start using colors that are completely opposite to each other. For example, combine red with green. Think it will look cartoonish? Trust us it won't. In fact, it will give you a high fashion voguish look that will make you stand out. Pair your most seductive red lipstick with emerald and diamond jewelry like diamond eternity bands embedded with luscious emeralds.

Not a Clash! Not a Match! But a Dash of Perfection

As promised earlier, we are bringing you this particular look that doesn't really clash or match. However, it is considered an absolutely glamorous look. It is the seraphic match of gold and black. Nothing! And we mean absolutely nothing looks as glorious as matching your smokey black eyeshadow or smooth black lipstick with solid gold jewelry. So for your next shindig match, a solid gold necklace with smokey dark eyeshadows to become a visual feast for everyone.

The days when jewelry and makeup were regarded as two separate domains are long gone. Nowadays, the emphasis is more on a seamless blended appearance, with impeccably coordinated and properly combined cosmetics and jewelry to create a sense of continuity and coherence. You'll always seem polished, stylish, and put-together if you follow the above instructions. So, get yourself diamond eternity bands and wear them whenever you put on your nude lipstick.
