Makeup Tips For Ladies Who Have Darker Skin Tone

I don’t think I stand alone, when I say that the beauty industry can be quite forgetful of dark skinned women. Today, I want to share with you some important makeup tips that, I think, every dark skinned lady should know, when looking for the right makeup:

FACE
More often than not, dark skinned women tend to have an uneven skin tone. They have darker forehead and lighter center, so, in order to get flawless looking skin, we often have to play with few shades of foundation, if we want to get the most natural of looks.

The thing to remember, when applying foundation, is that we want to create a seamless finish and gradual transition between the lighter part of the face (which is, usually, the center) and darker parts of complexion (which are, usually, the forehead and perimeter).

If you want to enhance the lighter tone in your skin, then, simply apply a tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation that matches the center of your face and then, use a copper bronzer on the forehead and perimeter of your face. Remember to blend, blend and blend! This will help diffuse the transition between the two tones…
