At first thought, you may not even realize how much yellow makeup you really wear.  It may be some nice yellow/gold nail polish, or a yellow highlight on your lids.

Before you throw on that perfect shade of red lipstick, you may want to think about how you’ll be perceived.

Although you may not have consciously realized, color has a lot to do with how we feel.  When people see you wearing that red lipstick, red eye shadow, or even red nails, they will feel differently toward you.  They will get an emotional reaction based on that color.  Most of the time, they don’t even realize it.
