Makeup tips for dark skin

Best tip for choosing your foundation is to select one which is of same skin tone or half shades lighter than your skin tone. It will be good if you use both the light and dark shades together. Lighter one can be used to enhance the forehead, nose and cheeks area while rest of the face can be covered with the darker one. If you are using a single dark one than, you can finish it with powder on the rest of the portion. Always check the shade during day time before buying it. Dark skin tones mostly glow with peach and orange shades, yellowish or dark color foundations.

Concealers:

Dark circles under the eye gives a very unhealthy and tired feeling. They need to be covered with a nice concealer. Use a reddish or orange tone concealer first for this purpose, this will neutralize the darker color and than a beige or ivory shade for making it look lighter.

Eye makeup:

Eyes, I guess is the most prominent facial feature. You can use them to enhance your facial beauty. For eyebrows, use a brown shade to make it look fuller. One and the most important thing is that silvers are not made for darker skins, they just give a messy effect on the face. Use glitters and shimmers of golden and bronze shades for eye lid. You can also use charcoal grey metallic shadow for smoky look. Navy blue and coffee also looks beautiful with it.

Blusher: 

As I have mentioned earlier, pink and orange shades make the skin glow and look fresh. You can use Rose pink and fresh orange color highlight your cheeks area. You can also use a brown or bronze color to give your cheeks a contrasting and glamorous look. For a dramatic look, use the lighter one, with an angular brush and blend it towards the hairline.

Lip color:

At last ! lips and eyes are the two main features which speaks out. Your can't focus on both the features together while doing makeup, as if both are heavily done, you will have a very freaky and overly done look. So, if  your have planned to give a smoky eye look than your lip color should be very light, otherwise you can easily go for darker ones.If you don't need full lips you can easily use neutral lip liner. Burgundy, wine, red, brown and plum looks perfect on the lips.
