Color Blocking Your Make-up

A really popular trend that tends to pop out in the Spring and Summer months, is Color Blocking. It first made it's appearance on Spring 2011 runways. Color Blocking is strategically placed, contrasting, yet complimentary, bold and bright colors paired together to create a unique look. To fully grasp the full, bold color effect you match choose three different colors to play with. Not sure what colors blend well with eachother? Try using the rule of two-thirds theory. What's the rule of two-thirds theory? According to the theory, start by making a triangle on a color wheel. Then, you can pick the three colors that the points of the triangle touch. These colors almost always look beautiful together! All though, we mainly see Color Blocking in the form of Fashion and Clothing. It can still be used in other ways. What ways? You might ask yourself. Simple. Your makeup.

When applying makeup we normally use between two to three shades of eyeshadow when blending and contouring our eyes. By using the Color Blocking technique as inspiration you can play with any part of your makeup regime to add bold splashes of bright, fun colors that work for Spring and Summer!
