Makeup should feel like a second skin, not a face mask that can be seen from a long distance. Creating a flawless makeup look is an art that can only be perfected over time. Knowing what to apply and how much to apply will help you create looks that look natural in a variety of lighting conditions. And will assist you in emphasizing your beautiful facial features without making your face appear dramatic.
With our makeup guide, you can fine tune your skills and create looks that will make you the center of attention at your next fashion event or daily outing. So, without further ado, let us get right to it.
MAKEUP TIPS FOR WOMEN WITH DARK SKIN TONE
- Dark skin tends to look ashy when it’s dry, so moisturize your skin thoroughly before applying makeup.
- Avoid skipping primers. Depending on your skin’s requirements, choose a moisturizing primer or a pore-filling primer.
- Use orange or red concealer instead of pink, blue, yellow, or green for color correction. Orange and red are the best color correcting shades because they neutralize the dark brown discoloration that women of color experience.
- Balancing your eye and lip makeup is important because having both dramatic eyes and lips can be overwhelming and even make you look like a clown. If you’re going for a smokey eye, wear beige or nude lipstick.
- Use products designed for darker skin tones and look for brands that offer a variety of shades that complement various undertones.
- Use an eyeshadow primer to make your eyes stand out. Brighter colors are difficult to deposit on darker skin. So, if you want to experiment with bright reds and yellows, wear an eyeshadow primer first.
- Bright pink blusher can make brown skin tones appear ashy, so opt for a warm magenta or golden pink blusher instead.
- When choosing a highlighter, look for one with gold, rose gold, or bronze tones. We all love silvery and pink-hued highlighters, but we can’t use them because they look weird on dark skin.
