Does my outfit affect how my makeup looks?

—Ruby Chapman, Bensalem, Penn.

Bobbi: Absolutely! Don’t try to match your makeup to your clothes, just find a “nude” (not naked, just natural) look that works when you’re wearing basic black. When you have on bright colors, a soft blush (like NP Set Baked Powder Blush ($20; target.com) that mimics the natural color of your cheeks is best. On days you wear pastels or white, apply a brighter blush so you don’t look washed out.

Next: My face is puffy and bloated. Can makeup help?
