CONTRAST GUIDE
🌗 Medium Contrast
A clear but not stark difference between your features
Signs you're medium contrast
- ✓One feature clearly darker or lighter than the rest — but not extreme
- ✓Think medium-brown hair with light-medium skin
- ✓You can borrow from both low- and high-contrast playbooks
- ✓The most common contrast level
Your makeup & wardrobe strategy
Makeup: Medium-intensity everything: defined (not graphic) liner, blush with presence, lips one or two steps deeper than your natural tone. Full glam and no-makeup-makeup both work — match the look's contrast to your outfit's.
Wardrobe: Pair a mid-tone with either a light or a dark — three-value outfits (light/mid/dark) balance perfectly on you.
