Here at Dollup Beauty, we are all about the FRENCH news and we found this study quite applicable to our case here! In Rennes, France- a study was conducted to review restaurant servers and waitresses and variables that could effect the amounts of cash tips they were receiving. A study by sociologists at the Universite de Bretagne-Sud has shown when it comes to tips- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LIPS! Waitresses who wore RED LIPS received tips larger in amount than the woman who were wearing brown or pink lipstick or no lipstick at all. The woman that wore red lipstick were also tipped about 20% MORE than the woman who wore brown, pink or no lipstick. More male customers were shown to tip the women who wore red lips. THE PROOF IS RIGHT HERE DOLLS! Red lips may seem a bit too bold or uncomfortable for your day to day but even science is proving that Red lips are beautiful, bold and aid in making a woman more powerful and successful.

TONES
We all have underlying tones. In order to achieve a bright and balanced look, it is crucial to find makeup products that enhance and highlight your features instead of clashing with them.
What are the types of TONES?
Things like your hair color, eye color and underlying skin tones all add up to your individual coloring. There are three types of tones. Warm tone, cool tone and neutral tone.
COOL- If you have cooler features like red, pink or blush undertones in your skin, cool blonde hair or icy blue eyes then you are a COOL tone. You will look most balanced when wearing clothing items and makeup items that have cool undertones such as cool brown or silver eyeshadow, blue eyeliners, and COOL TONE REDS. Some red lipstick have cold blue undertones. These blue undertones are notorious for whitening the appearance of your teeth. More than that, they will add to your gorgeous cool features and brighten your appearance.

WARM- Brown to Blackish eye color and hair color along with yellow, peachy or golden skin undertones all mean that you have a WARM skin tone. For you, golden and warm bronze eyeshadows will look best. While you can pull off bold black eyeliners, a warm brown one will also highlight your features. In order to look the most cohesive, you will want to gravitate more towards warm tone reds such as ones with peachy or orange undertones.
Click to buy your best red shade:
NEUTRAL- Neutral skin tones can be found best with medium olive, yellow skin undertones and hazel eyes. If you have a combination of warm and cool tones for example- Red hair with cool skin or Brown hair with cool blue eyes, then you also would fall in this category. For you, a mixture combination of both warm and cool tones will best compliment your features.
