How to match your blush with your eyeshadow with your lipgloss

This can sound tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's not difficult to come up with a whole, cohesive make-up look at all.

As a general rule: If your make-up is bold in one area, keep the rest of it neutral.  

I.E: if you are wearing bold, colorful eyeshadow, = neutral blush (in brown/bronze natural tones) and lips, such as a sheer lipgloss or nude/neutral lipstick.  

If you are wearing neutral eyeshadow (brown/natural colors), = colored (peach/rose/pink) blush and similar (peach/rose/pink) lipcolor.  

You want to avoid neutral eyes + neutral lips + neutral cheeks because you can end up looking dirty and lifeless.  

You also want to avoid colorful eyes + colorful lips + colorful cheeks because you can end up looking like an 80's rave party before the cops show up.  

So just remember: bold in one area, neutral in the rest, and you should end up looking just right.
