Makeup tips for dark skin

Beauty can be at its best even in women with dark skin. More and more beauty products are out in the market to cater to the needs of dark skinned women. Experimenting and getting expert beauty advise can help women to find the right blend of colors in make-up that exactly matches the skin tone.

Make up guidelines for women with dark skin:

All women want to look at their best on all occasions. Healthy skin is essential and hence similar to women with fair skin, cleansing, toning , moisturizing and applying sunblock must never be avoided.

Foundation: It is one of the most popular cosmetic item for black women. Experiment a variety of shades to find the best shade. Choose shades that exactly matches the neck colour. Foundation color must be selected based on seasons. Choose one for summer and another for winter. Matte finish foundation is better for oily skin while shimmer foundation is best for dry skin. For women with normal skin, a foundation type in between may suit the best. If the skin color is uneven, use a combination of two different shades. When applied in the right way, both shades together would cover up uneven skin tone.

Powder:

Most women would avoid using powders, but in case of oily skin it takes away the shine. Choose any translucent shade. Dust away the excess for perfection.

Concealer: It can hide any type of imperfections from simple blemishes to pigmentation. A flesh color would provide an even skin tone imparting radiance to the skin.

Blush: A blush adds more life to face. Shades of blush that matches with the lipstick color adds more beauty. A thin layer may work best for the day and a double thick layer may work best for evenings and special occasions. Pink, red or burgundy shades are perfect.

Eyeliner: Use an eyeliner to highlight the beauty of the eye. Dark shade of pencils are great but liquid eyeliner would give a much thinner line. For women with smaller eyes, restrict eyeliner to lower lashes.

Eyeshadow: It is better to avoid an eyeshadow as it provides the most daring look. For women who are particular about eyeshadows, choose natural or white shades. A shade of gold may look complimentary for the evening hours.

Mascara: Make up would be incomplete with a mascara. Use a branded high quality mascara for both upper and lower eyelashes.

Lipsticks: Plum, burgundy, pink or berry shades would be perfect. Avoid the shades of orange. Matte finish lipsticks would be the perfect one. Avoid using it in excess. Match the lipstick with blush and eye makeup.

Look smart with the perfect makeup!
