Mono-chromo-what?

Monochromatic means only having one color. What does this have to do with makeup? A lot if you want to try the trend of wearing monochromatic makeup and pull it off. Wearing one particular shade of color all over can look good when done right if you stay within a shade or two of the color (lighter or darker, and that share the same undertone).

For example; a violet eye with a sheer lilac lip are both purple, but in different shades. Combine that with a light, well blended, purple hue blush, and it's monochromatic done right. Nude is another monochromatic look that is gorgeous when you incorporate a little shimmer, sheer and matte together. Nude is the color of skin, and skin comes in all shades, so stay within that shade range and you will be rockin JLo's effortless go-to look.

Makeup is meant to bring out your features, hide your imperfections, boost your confidence, be colorful, fun, dress up your outfit, and even alter your persona. No other product can do that for you so embrace the tools you have at your fingertips.
