Having some trouble finding the perfect makeup for dark skin? For an effortless everyday makeup look, the “no makeup makeup” trend is the way to go. But of course, every face is unique, and the same goes for skin tones! A simple makeup routine for darker skin tones emphasises the appearance of an all-over glow. This look takes under 10 minutes and focuses on dewy skin paired with a pop of colour on the lips.
The key to pulling off this simple makeup look is making your base look sheer and glowy to fake the look of perfect, dewy skin. Look out for primers that include words like “brightening”, “glow” and of course “illuminating”, for the perfect foundation base.

Thankfully, more and more brands are bringing out a more diverse range of foundation colours, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find a match for darker skin tones. Opt for light to medium coverage so that your natural skin tone and tiny imperfections can still shine through.

It can be quite hard to find the right contour shade for darker skin tones so rather than investing in a contour shade that will disappear, play with light and shadow and highlight the higher points of your face. Use a sheer, creamy highlighter so that the lines aren’t too harsh. This will also help achieve a dewy look. Using highlight is a fun and effective way to apply makeup for dark skin, you glow girl!

In a look that doesn’t focus a lot on the eyes, a simple way to look more put together is to use your brows to frame your face. Make your brows look full and fluffy but soften the edges so that the angles don’t look too harsh. This will help achieve a strong yet natural brow.

This look keeps it simple by keeping the eyes quite natural and bare. Dark-skinned beauties are usually already blessed with dark lashes, so there’s no need to add too much volume. Instead, opt for a natural, lengthening mascara to help you look more awake andbright-eyed.

If you already have great skin you can even skip all the other steps and just do this one for an even simpler makeup look. A bold lip is the perfect way to accentuate makeup for dark skin. Pick a bright lipstick that pops against your skin tone, be it a bright red, a warm terracotta or a cool-toned pink. This will instantly liven up your face!

Decide if you want to amp up any part of your makeup look. This is where you can now add some natural blush if you feel like it, layer on more highlighter, or even add some clear gloss to your eyelids to make you look extra dewy. Other than that, you can keep it super simple and you’re sure to be out the door in less than 10 minutes!
