How to Do Quick & Easy Makeup to Match Any Lipstick Color
Sometimes it can be hard to know what makeup look will pair nicely with specific lipstick color. In this tutorial, I will show you how to do makeup to match any lipstick color.
Most eyeshadows can pair beautifully with a bright lip, but follow along with this tutorial to learn a simple eye makeup and natural base that will compliment ANY lip color perfectly.
Tools and materials:
- Silicone-free primer
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Eyebrow pencil
- Eyeliner
- Finishing powder
- Bronzer
- Blush
- Eyelash curler
- Mascara
- Eyelash comb
- False eyelashes
- Lipstick
- Assorted makeup brushes and sponges
1. Start with primer
Apply silicone-free, blurring primer to your face using a medium makeup brush.
2. Add foundation
Use a large, fluffy makeup brush to apply foundation that is a light-medium shade with a neutral undertone.
The foundation I used has a yellowish tinge, but since my face is not as naturally tanned as the rest of my body, this shade helps to even out my tan.
Use a smaller brush to apply foundation around your eyes.
Blend in the foundation with a makeup sponge.
3. Use concealer
Use a small makeup brush to apply concealer around the inner corners of your eyes.
Add concealer beside the outer corners of your eyes.
Put concealer under and above your nose as well.
Blend in the concealer with a makeup sponge.
4. Do your eyebrows
Use your regular eyebrow technique to do your eyebrows and then use a small makeup brush with concealer to clean up the area below your eyebrows.
5. Apply face powder
Apply finishing face powder all over your face using a triangular makeup sponge.
If your skin is particularly oily, you may wish to use a setting powder before your finishing powder.
6. Ready for bronzer
Use the largest, fluffiest makeup brush you have to apply neutral powder bronzer to the high points of your face where the sun would naturally hit your face.
Aim to get the bronzer on the area from your forehead to your cheekbones and your cheekbones to your jaw.
7. Apply blush
Follow my blush hack video to learn how to apply the blush as I have for this tutorial.
8. Apply eyeliner
Follow my easy liner video to apply eyeliner as I did in this tutorial.
Line your top lid and create a wing at the outer corner. Use a pencil eyeliner, but transfer it to a small brush for application.
9. On to your lashes
Curl your upper eyelashes.
If there are pinkish tones showing through the bottom of your eyelashes, apply some eyeliner to that line where your eyelashes meet your eyelids.
10. Apply mascara
Now you can apply a light coat of your favorite mascara.
11. Where is the eyeshadow?
I bet this will be a surprise. I think when you are wearing lipstick you want to keep the rest of your makeup very natural – maybe just focusing on your lashes.
So, I actually forego using eyeshadow when I’m wearing lipstick.
12. Use false eyelashes
Since you are not going to use eyeshadow, but focus the makeup attention on your lashes, this is a good time to apply false eyelashes.
Follow the package instructions for applying false eyelashes.
13. Do your lower lashes
Then apply some mascara to your lower lashes.
Use a lash comb to remove the majority of the lower lash mascara to make it more subtle.

I match eyes, lips and blush by buying the same designer. Charlotte tilbury matches her colors to wear together. So does hourglass, ester launder and many brands. It’s only downside is it is very expensive to do this but the look always matches. Liked your tutorial. Great idea for a minimalist. Which obviously I’m not. Lol.
I love your tutorial and will share with my friends and clients (Mary Kay). I tried your instructions and I love how easy it was. I think the more I practice the easier and faster it will become. I also want to experiment with the browns and darker lip colors for fall. Thank you so much for sharing!
