Anton Kisiel's Skin Colors


These 2 charts are perfect for anyone who wants to start making their own skin textures.

The powders are fall within the "natural" palette and are minimal makeup friendly.

The eyeshadow spheres will help get colors that look more believable. Just avoid the very outer edge.

The lip range is for those having trouble finding lipstick/Gloss shades.

The terms:

Base = flood fill skin
Contour= Creases and recessions
Highlight= protrusions and bevels
Midtone = is like blush. Say highlight is on top of the cheek and countor is below, Midtone is used to blend the two or for more flushed areas(more saturated.)

The spheres are good for showing tones for highlights and contour like on the nose, cheek, breast, buttock, etc.
