Save Money with Color Theory
So… you’ll think having a gazillion products in your toolbox as a makeup artist is a good idea right?
Before you roll your eyes and let out the “Duhh”… hear me out.
I used to think so as well.
Matter of fact, I used to be so obsessed with makeup products to the point that I bought almost every freaking color and style of makeup products out there…
My excuse?
I needed to make sure I had every shade for every client. Needed to show up as a “Professional” and never get caught “unawares”.
Years later, a shitload of products thrown in the trash simply because they exceeded their shelf life, and thousands of dollars practically wasted on those products😓... Here’s what I've learnt.
You do not need a ton of products to achieve the looks and shades you want.

- Understand Color Basics: Learn the fundamentals of color theory, including primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, as well as complementary and analogous color schemes. This knowledge will help you mix and match shades effectively.
- Invest in Multipurpose Products: Instead of buying every color under the sun, invest in versatile products that can be easily mixed to create different shades. Look for multipurpose items like primary color palettes or mixable foundations or go for shades you can easily customize into other shades or tones.
- Mix and Match: Experiment with blending different colors to create custom shades. By combining products you already own, you can achieve unique hues without the need to purchase additional items.
- Focus on Quality Over Quantity: Instead of buying numerous cheap products, invest in high-quality items that offer pigmentation and longevity. Quality products may have a higher upfront cost but can save money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Shop Strategically: When shopping for new products, consider how they can complement your existing collection. Choose colors that can be easily incorporated into multiple looks, rather than ones that are limited in versatility.
- Learn from Others: Take advantage of online tutorials and resources to learn from experienced makeup artists. They often share tips and tricks for maximizing the use of color theory to achieve professional results on a budget.
- Practice and Experiment: The more you practice mixing and matching colors, the better you'll become at creating custom shades. Experiment with different combinations and techniques to expand your skills and creativity.
