No other skin tone can handle pigmented colours as dark skin does. Finding makeup for dark skin can be hard. Ladies with dark skin out there have struggled for years in finding beauty and makeup products that were good for their skin. Haunting\u00a0the best foundation has been a real pain for years, until brands like Fenty\u00a0Beauty,\u00a0Nars\u00a0and\u00a0LA girl pro\u00a0started\u00a0introducing\u00a0the darkest tones\u00a0too, allowing all dark skin women to find their perfect matching shades.<\/p>\n
Foundation is only the number one of many other issues\u00a0that\u00a0black women\u00a0face\u00a0when it comes to makeup. Shopping for the essentials doesn\u2019t come easily either. Here is a guide on the best makeup essentials and tutorials for black women and\u00a0how to\u00a0embrace your beautiful dark skin.<\/p>\n
Determining which colour matches you best can be overwhelming and time consuming, especially if your colour tone is not very common.\u00a0If you\u2019re testing foundation in person at a beauty\u00a0shop, the best way is\u00a0to\u00a0swatch\u00a0different\u00a0colours\u00a0from your cheek to your jawline.\u00a0Bare\u00a0in mind that the choice will be more accurate if you keep the colour of your chest in mind when doing so.<\/p>\n
With black skin women, faces are typically darker than the rest of the body, as it is the most exposed to sun rays. So, when testing colours, you need to make sure that your shade matches your face and not\u00a0your\u00a0arm or wrist.\u00a0To ensure a perfect match, it\u2019s best to test two to three shades alongside one another. Then\u00a0wait a few minutes and allow\u00a0the foundation to warm up and mix with your complexion. By doing so you will be able to decide\u00a0which shade looks the most natural.<\/p>\n
Dark skin tones\u00a0look\u00a0amazing\u00a0in deep mauve shades like Maybelline Face Studio Master Glaze in Make a Mauve. Another great option\u00a0for dark skin is\u00a0a cranberry\u00a0coloured\u00a0blush or even bright orange. A huge mistake the black girls are used to make sometimes is, letting bright and intense colours intimidate them. Do not do that at all. Play around with\u00a0fuchsia or orange,\u00a0as\u00a0they will\u00a0emphasize\u00a0your skin complexion even more. Make up brands such as Lancome, Mac and Elf offer a good range of bright coloured blushes.<\/p>\n
When it comes to choosing makeup for dark skin girls’ eyes, you can really play around colours and your dark skin tone.\u00a0Any rich and intense\u00a0shade will really make your eyes pop! Take the risk with tones like bright blue, yellow, purple, green and deep burgundy. These colours really stand out against your completion.\u00a0Alternatively, depending on the outfit you are pulling or the event you attend, gold and bronze tones can instantly warm your skin tone and put the focus of your entire makeup on your eyes.<\/p>\n
Forget about those lip balms you use because you are too\u00a0intimidated\u00a0by lipstick\u00a0intense colours. An intense red\u00a0lipstick\u00a0is great on a dark skin tone. Matte shade lipsticks are also amazing in brightening up\u00a0your\u00a0skin, as well as the make-up you are wearing.\u00a0\u00a0A few of the best brands are:\u00a0“Maybelline\u00a0Color\u00a0Sensational Creamy Mattes in Craving Coral”, “YSL rouge\u00a0pur”\u00a0and “Urban Decay”.<\/p>\n
