Quick answer

For medium skin at prom, choose base shades that match depth and undertone, then adjust finish—buildable coverage that fits the event. Warm or neutral blush and lip tones usually flatter medium complexions when undertone is matched correctly.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Match base to undertone and depth

    For medium skin, test foundation on your jaw in daylight. Sheer to medium coverage keeps skin looking like skin.

  2. 2

    Choose occasion-appropriate finish

    Longer-lasting base, optional shimmer on lids, and transfer-resistant lip.

  3. 3

    Build eyes and lips to balance

    Complement medium skin with blush one to two shades deeper than your natural flush. Add definition with brown liner rather than harsh black if you want a softer look.

Blush and lip colors for medium skin

Rose, coral, and plum families.

  • Test in natural light
