After reading your post several times, I tried
really hard trying to understand your logic in using candlelight as your main source of light for applying your make-up.
First off, Colour pigments are created and mixed under a “Daylight” corrected light source which reads at 6500 °K (Kelvin) or a CRI 65 (Colour Rendering Index) at the factory, so you get the true colours of your make-up colours.
Now, if you apply your make-up in “Candlelight” (1850 °K) / (CRI 0-18). Your colours are going to read and look like primary colours through an orange filter. Clearly not flattering at all. You might as well wear orange coloured glasses to put your make-up on in a very dimly lit room.
Make-up colours look their best on any skin tone when applied under lights corrected to 6500 °K / CRI 65… Daylight. For example
GE’s Chroma 65 Daylight bulbs are the best on the market. You will get true colour saturation of your hues, shades, tones and tints. And you will see the difference especially when blending your colours including your foundation.
Now, those fabulous make-up colours that you’ve just applied will look very flattering under candlelight, as the “warm” glow of the light will warm up those colours and your skin tone.
Light, colour and the human eye are tricky things on what we see and how we see it. That’s why lighting is the most important factor in applying your make-up especially where film and photography are concerned. It will make or break your look. Even for everyday make-up looks.
