What Your Aura Colours Say About You

Your aura is much more than just a colour. “Our auras are an energetic caricature of our being. This includes our physical, emotional, mental, energetic, spiritual, and karmic blueprints,” explains Pearlyn Siew. “These blueprints offer insights into our past, present, and potential future.”
She further clarifies, “Two people may share the same aura colour, yet the impact could be beneficial for one and challenging for the other, depending on where they are in their life’s journey.”
In short, interpreting aura colours involves understanding where we stand in our personal growth, across emotional, mental, spiritual, and karmic journeys.
*Note that anything karmic is just as simple as cause and effect. If you’ve got a clear understanding of one side of an issue, karma will have you find full acceptance on the other end of the spectrum for balance. The more resistance we find in something, the more acceptance we have to practise in it, for our own inner peace.
Easy Ways to Match Makeup to Your Aura
New to aura-based makeup? Pearlyn suggests starting with complementary hues or tones. For instance, if you’re drawn to a certain colour, include its neighbouring or opposing shades in your makeup routine to maintain balance.
When selecting makeup products that resonate with your aura, Pearlyn emphasises a combination of intuition and experimentation. “I always encourage trial and error through testing our intuition,” she shares.
She suggests that when gravitating towards certain makeup colours, we might seek comfort, but if it feels limiting, a step outside the comfort zone may be needed for growth.
Here’s a general breakdown of colours and what they could represent:
- Violet: Spiritual and connected. Try lavender hues in your makeup
- Pink: Tender and kind. Opt for rosy blushes and pink-tinted lip gloss
- Orange: Adventurous and passionate. Try coral shades or bold eyeshadows
- Green: Receptive and loving. Soft green eyeliners or earthy tones work well
- Red: Grounded, fiery, and determined. Use bold red lipsticks or warm blush tones
- Yellow: Playful and secure. Experiment with sunny hues in eyeshadows or highlights
- Indigo: Visionary and intuitive. Deep purple lip colours or eyeshadows would be ideal
- Blue: Expressive and empathetic. Blue eyeliner or cool-toned shadows can enhance this
- White: Clear and peaceful. Light, shimmery highlighters and pale tones are perfect for this energy
Can Aura Colours Affect Your Makeup Choices?
“Yes and yes!” Pearlyn says. Makeup can influence your aura as it changes how others perceive you, affecting your energy. However, as long as your makeup choices don’t invite prolonged harmful energies from others, you are in safe territory.
Pearlyn breaks down aura colours and their corresponding makeup styles:
Natural and No-Makeup Makeup
Aura Colours: Blues, Pinks, Yellows, Greens, Reds

People who gravitate towards natural or “no-makeup” makeup often feel comfortable in their own skin but prefer to enhance their appearance subtly. They tend to stick to socially acceptable looks, steering clear of bold experimentation.
Soft hues like blues, pinks, yellows, greens, and reds allow them to add a touch of colour while maintaining an understated and effortless look that complements their natural beauty.
Eccentric and Playful
Aura Colours: Blues, Reds, Oranges, Yellows, Pinks, Purples

Their choices are often guided by millennial influences from the 2010s, incorporating striking reds, rich greens, dark blues, purples, and soft yellows or oranges.
This polished approach aims for versatility, ensuring they can effortlessly transition from professional environments to vibrant party scenes while maintaining a sophisticated and modern look.

While makeup trends may be tempting, Pearlyn emphasises the importance of aligning with your personal energy. “If following trends makes us feel comfortable for a while, it may not necessarily help in balancing our energies,” Pearlyn explained.
Instead of merely adopting the latest fads, she encourages you to focus on discovering makeup styles that resonate with your aura. By doing so, you can become a trendsetter within your circle, showcasing your unique energy through thoughtful choices.
Daily Makeup Routine: Match Makeup to Your Aura
Incorporating your aura colours into your makeup can be a delightful expression of creativity. Whether you opt for a bold lip or subtle eyeshadow, each choice can enhance your aura.
“This is where it becomes fun. Colours can act as veils or accentuations, depending on what you need to bring into balance,” she said.

For instance, softer lip shades and gentle blush tones can create a welcoming atmosphere, while bold eyeliner and sharper blush strokes exude confidence and assertiveness.
If you have a multi-coloured aura, balancing these hues may require some experimentation, but the results can be incredibly rewarding. Pearlyn suggests, “If your aura shows red, playing with both green and red can be a safe option. Even if there is a surplus of red, green offers balance.”
By thoughtfully combining complementary shades, you can harmonise your makeup with your energy, paving the way for personal growth and self-expression.
Don’t Know Your Aura Colour? No Problem!
No worries! “If you’re unsure of your aura colour, follow your intuitive draw to colours for the day and complement them with neighbouring or opposing hues,” Pearlyn advised.
