Thankfully, there are some makeup colors that look great on literally every skin tone. As it happens, neutrals are everyone's bestie. Makeup artist and expert Bobbi Brown told Real Simple, "Neutrals include tones naturally found in the skin, like peach, rose, bronze, and even plum." Which shade of neutral you'll want to choose does, however, depend on your skin tone.
To choose the perfect neutral for you, you just have to follow the universal guideline: Pick a color within two shades — either lighter or darker — than your natural cheek, eyelid, and lip color. When following a neutral makeup routine, Brown said "concealer is an absolute must" to keep your makeup looking radiant and natural. Highlighting with neutrals within the two-shade realm is also a sure bet. "Shimmer draws attention to areas you want to highlight," Charlotte Willer, a makeup artist who works for Maybelline New York, told the publication. And who doesn't love a good highlight?
