Master the subtle art of matching your makeup to your clothes — like Leona models above — with these simple tips & tricks:

When Trying for a Perfect Match, Less is More
A little eyeshadow on your lower lash line or a dab of lipstick in the center of your lips is all you need.

Opposites Attract
Rocking a purple frock? Try an orange or coral lip. Wearing a red top? Use a light wash of olive green on your lids. Contrast can be just as complimentary. (If not more.)

Cast a Spotlight
Don't make your clothing and makeup compete. Find a focal point and use the other elements of your look to amplify that chosen feature.
