Hi, my name is Yessica Andrea, and I'm a professional makeup artist, and today I'm going to show you ways to create a makeup palette for caramel skin. So, the first thing you want to do is you want to find a nice little makeup palette like this. I like to use these clear ones that way I can see everything that's in there and once you have your makeup palette, what you want to do is you want to actually start creating the different colors that are going to go in here. That way it's just easier for you to access them. Sometimes us ladies happen to change colors depending on the seasons. When it's Wintertime our skin complexion lightens and then in the Summertime when we catch a little sun we get nice and bronzier so it's nice to have a nice little case like this with different shades that you can customize as your skin changes. And as you can see I have a light, a medium and a dark base. This would be my light, my medium and my dark. Always start with the light color and just go ahead and pour some of this in your clear case and just simply add a few drops in your color, say one, two, three, four, five in this one. This one I might add ten, one, two, three, four, five, six seven, eight, nine, ten and then a few more drops of course, on this one, about like 15 to 20. You're going to go ahead and blend all of them and you should see one lighter than the other. If you don't, it's just easy, just go back and add some more drops, do some more drops if you want it, a little darker, a few more here. And there you have it. You just created new three colors. This would be your light, your medium and your dark. Just go ahead and have fun with it. Apply your makeup and see what kind of looks you can create. I'm Yessica Andrea, and thank you for watching.
