Switch Up Your Natural Palette

One of the best fashion and aesthetic tips you can follow is to pair what you wear, both clothes and makeup, with what you’re already working with. Aside from your body shape and face type, this also means your natural palette, determined by your eyes, your hair, and your skin. However, what if you want to try a totally different aesthetic or explore options that might be outside your wheelhouse? While there’s nothing to stop you from trying, switching up your natural palette can help you. Here are a few ways you can do it.

Refreshing Your Hair Colour

One of the most immediate and noticeable ways to change up your palette is by changing your hair color. Whether you opt for subtle highlights to add warmth, balayage effects to create a more sun-kissed look, or a bolder transformation that changes your shade from root to tip, there are plenty of options to explore a range of colours with your hair. Temporary dyes and gloss treatments are best if you want to try out new hues without a long-term commitment. While you can choose any colour that you like, you might always want to consider your undertones, such as whether you have a warmer or cooler complexion, which can make certain shades better suit your look.

Bring Brand New Hues To Your Eyes

When it comes to your eyes, while there might not be any option to change their hue naturally, contact lenses do offer a tremendously easy, quick, and reversible way to change your appearance. You can opt for natural shades like green contact lenses to lend a look that’s a little more subtle and natural looking, or some of the more dramatic lenses for colours that might be a little more fantastical, but can really help a look pop. With the right contact lenses, you can quickly shift the whole colour profile of your face, which can be well paired with changes in your makeup, as well. With the combination of coloured lenses and hair dye, you can look like a whole new person.

Adjusting Your Skin Tone Safely

Your skin tone and complexion pplaya big role in your natural aesthetic, as well. When it comes to your skin, health should be your number one priority, so you want to avoid anything harsh or unsafe, like excessive tanning bed use or sunbathing without sunscreen. However, there are gradual self-tanners that can add a more subtle sun-kissed glow to your skin. Brightening skincare like vitamin C serums and exfoliating products can improve the radiance of your skin, as well. Whether brightening or warming your complexion, expect slightly more subtle results while sticking with healthy, dermatologist-approved methods. 

Switching up your natural palette gives you the ability to explore a wide range of aesthetic options and, thankfully, most of the ways to do it are easily reversible if you want to go back to what’s truly you. However, exploring the wide range of colours available can help you find that signature look you’ve been after.
