Want to know how? This post can help you out. Read on!

1. Choose Combination That Works:

When you are trying a Nicki Minaj makeup, a bright color combination is a must. But make sure that the colors in the combination you choose match with each other. Be ready to handle a lot of mess if you are not cautious while picking up the right color combination. Make use of the color wheel and pick up two, or at the most three colors together. Try to break the color wheel and choose contrasting colors, but do not try something extravagant if you are to wear it for a function. With trial and error, you will be able to come up with the best combination that suits you.

2. Use The Color Wheel:

Colors placed across each other on the color wheels are known as complementary colors, and hence, they complement each other. So, take a cue from the color wheel and choose the colors accordingly. For example, you can make a color combo of yellow and violet, or gold and light purple, as they complement each other. But, this is just the basic step. If you are interested in going a step further, try an analogous combination of colors – for example, blue and violet or blue and green together, or split colors such as the red and orange combination.

Lastly, you can as well try triad colors that are placed at equal distances in the color wheel – such as yellow and green, violet and red or violet and orange. So, using this method, you can make innumerable bright color combinations. But your skin tone also plays a major role in this selection.

3. Warm And Cool Skin Tone:

The decision to choose the right bright colored combination is crucial. When it comes to choosing a color combo according to the skin tone, you should think in terms of coolness and warmth. If you have a warm tone, for example, if your skin tone has a yellow or golden undertone, you will need a warm toned makeup color combination such as golden and red.

In case you have a cool toned skin with a red, pink, or blue undertone, then you must use cool toned makeup combination of colors such as blue and green. Similarly, the darker your skin tone, the brighter hues you can use.

4. Proper Prep For Nicki Minaj Makeup:

With your chosen bright colored combos by your side, you must now prepare your skin properly so that the colors blend with your skin tone. For this, exfoliate and cleanse the skin thoroughly before putting on the makeup. Manicure the brows and avoid putting the bright color near any of the blemished areas on the skin, unless you want to highlight them separately.

A Nicki Minaj makeup usually lasts for around 8 to 9 hours without showing any signs of dullness. To achieve that, a bright eyeshadow is not the only trick. You also need to use an eyeshadow base of good brands. Also, if you want to hold on to the brightness of your eyeshadow for a long time, make sure that you use the base that matches with the color family of your eye shadow.

5. Use Eye Shadow Brushes Instead Of Your Fingers:

Using fingers for spreading and applying eyeshadow is a regular practice. But remember, even if you are an expert in applying the eyeshadow, with a Nicki Minaj makeup, you need to be a bit careful. Hence, you should always use eyeshadow brushes that give you the perfect look. Use different sets of brushes for simple, light color wash, creasing the color, or for heavier application of the eyeshadow combination. For that smokey look, use a separate, dedicated eyeshadow brush. For applying colors in the smallest spaces or lining the eyes, use a pencil brush.

6. Using Multiple Brights:

It is a rare personality that can pull off wearing multiple brights on the face. Unless you think yourself to be bold enough to carry off that look, you should restrict the bold and bright look to one area of the face and leave everything else understated. On the safe side, if at all you want to try out that multiple brights look, try to do it using only complementary colors. For example, if your choice of bright color is orange, try using a hot, bright orange lip stain, coral cheeks, and a combination or medium toned orange and peaches on the eyes.

But, just as it is said, there is a time for everything and such multiple brights may work fantastically well for a theme party or a Halloween night. However, for a formal function, try to restrict your Nicki Minaj makeup style to only one area of the face so that you do attract attention to your right bright combination, but still do not look extravagant and out of place.

These tips will surely help you to get a look like your cherished idol, and will also help you to exhibit the new and creative you to the world.
