Let's take a closer look at which tones go well with a variety of skin types.

Black and dark brown are shades that suit absolutely everyone and go well with any external data.
For girls with pale skin and blonde hair, warm shades like peach, sand, cocoa, cinnamon and classic yellow are good. And also, several shades from the cold color range - light lilac, pale blue, menthol. Dark-haired swarthy young ladies can afford almost any shade.
