Why Cold Eyes Need Warm Cheeks
Lately, I’ve been studying those moody, painterly French makeup looks—think icy blue lids, minty greys, even soft lilacs. But there’s one thing they never forget:
Balance.
Cool-toned eyes almost always pair with warm, saturated blush—peachy nudes, mellow apricots, ripe plum pinks.
That contrast? It breathes life back into the skin. Without it, cold colors can drain you out, leave you flat. But with it, the whole face softens, gets dimensional. Almost… cinematic.
The final step? A blurred nude lip—slightly pink or slightly orange—topped with gloss. It’s not about color matching. It’s about tension. The kind that makes a face look painted, not powdered.
