Demystifying the Color Wheel
Colour theory is the science behind choosing and mixing shades that harmonize with the skin. By understanding the color wheel, artists learn how primary, secondary, and tertiary colors interact, which is essential for custom blending foundations and concealers for diverse skin tones.
Mastering Color Correction
One of the most practical applications of color theory is color correction. Using complementary colors (opposites on the color wheel) allows you to cancel out unwanted tones—like using green corrector to neutralize redness, or peach/orange to hide dark blue under-eye circles.
Enhancing Natural Features
Colour theory also guides you in choosing eye shadow and lip shades that make your client’s features pop. Learning how warm and cool undertones behave under different light sources separates amateur work from stunning, professional-grade results.
