Benefits of matching makeup with dress colour

At Crazy Girls Salon & Beauty Parlour, we always combine professional colour theory with your personal style to create harmony between your makeup and dress.
⭐ How Event Theme Influences Makeup Choices
Before choosing your makeup colours, always consider the event theme, because this sets the tone for your beauty look.
1. Wedding Themes
- Traditional weddings: Go for soft glam, bold eyes, and classic tones.
- Modern weddings: Think dewy skin, nude lips, clean eye looks.
- Destination/beach weddings: Lightweight makeup, bronzed glow, waterproof formulas.
2. Festive Themes
- Shimmery eyelids, bold lip colours, colourful liners, radiant skin glow.
3. Cocktail or Party Themes

4. Corporate/Business Themes
- Neutral tones, matte finish, soft blush, nude lips.
5. Photoshoots / Social Media Events

Your makeup must not only match your dress but also blend with the vibe of the event.
