For Light Skin, I believe you should add a bit of colour but not too much, otherwise it will make you look a bit like a barbie doll, and a bit too done up. On the eyes, play it simple with a soft smokey eye; On the cheeks, create a natural blush with a pretty pink colour, and on the lips, go for a matte red, or a darker pink.

For Mid Tone Skin, Plum is your answer! On the lips add a dark plum colour which will make your lips look plump and soft, as well as on the eyes. For the cheeks, use a natural skin tone colour, or a reddish brown. Don’t go to bright, but you can use red or dark browns, which will look great for any special event.

For Dark Skin Tones, use red for the lips, especially if you have a naturally dewy skin. Don’t use red if you have an oily skin, dewy and oily are different! For the cheeks, play it all natural, or go for a natural red. On the eyes, go golden brown, it will look natural, but also bring out your eyes.
I created the make-over pictures at Taaz.com, where you can give yourself, or these model pictures, a make-over, they are great help!
