Welcome back to Color 101, the series that discusses how color theory pertains to makeup application and creation. This post will be highlighting monochromatic color schemes and how these can be utilized to create artistic and natural makeup applications. Color theory is important in the beauty world since makeup is used to be expressive of one’s true character and their feelings. Color is known to be able to portray these feelings in an art form to let loose and get creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may be wondering, what are monochromatic color schemes? To answer this important question, it is defined as all of the colors of a single hue. This is created by using a single base hue to extend the shades. For example, any color can be used in a monochromatic color combo; however, this can be the only hue in the creation. This can be different shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and the list goes on. As long as the base color is the only true color in the scheme it is considered a monochromatic color. If you’re confused, just refer back to the name. ‘Mono’ means one or singular, so in this case it means one color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many ways this color scheme can be incorporated in makeup looks. Pink is a popular color used in monochromatic makeup looks since this hue is often made in various eyeshadows, blushes, lipsticks, etc. It is not a hard color to find for any specific makeup product. Pinks will look more natural since they can be pastel, muted, or if a bold look needs to be achieved it can relay that message as well with bright and bold colors. On the other hand, blue can be harder to come by. Eye products such as eyeshadow or eyeliner can easily be found in blue; however, blush and lipstick can be a bit more challenging to find. A pro tip here is to use eyeshadow as a blush and eyeliner as a lip pencil if the other products are not available in the colors needed to create the monochromatic look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a certain unity when it comes to monochromatic colors used in makeup, as seen above in the featured image for this post. The model here is wearing mostly peachy tones to convey this monochromatic vibe. There is a pop of a darker liner color, which accents this feature of the makeup look, but overall still incorporates a monochromatic color scheme since the main features: eyes, cheeks, and lips are all done using peachy hues. Next time you want to be creative with your makeup, but you’re not sure what to do, monochromatic colors are always a fun and artistic option to try!<\/p>\n\n\n
