40 Eye Makeup Looks For Brown Eyes
This won't usually work in a drugstore, but you can try out various colors at department store makeup counters. With neutral lips, you can put the makeup focus on your eyes.
Women with cool complexions can wear silver or charcoal eye shadow, while warm women can sport bronze eye color and a couple of coats of deep black mascara for maximum impact. "I like Danessa Myricks Enlight Illuminators ($20)—the colors really work on different skin tones and also look amazing when you layer them in threes," explains Crimson. As for products, Crimson recommends his AJ Crimson Beauty Dual Skin Foundation ($45) for women with deeper skin tones.
If you are using two different colors of foundation on your face, apply the lighter tone first, then apply the darker tone, and then use the brush to blend them together where they meet. Sometimes dark skinned girls have a difficult time finding the right color foundation because many girls are naturally two toned and have a complex color.
With the completion of your lips makeup, your look is finished! Give yourself a once-over to make sure there aren’t any smudges or loose eyeshadow that needs to be removed with a fluffy brush.
Both concealer and foundation are typically used to make skin appear more uniform in color. These two types of cosmetics differ in that concealers tend to be more heavily pigmented, though concealer and foundation are both available in a wide range of opacity. The first commercially available concealer was Max Factor's Erace, launched in 1954. Camouflage makeup is a much heavier pigmented form of concealer. It is used to cover serious skin discolorations such as birthmarks, scars and vitiligo.
Yet, women of all ages and all undertones for black skin skin tones still feel they are missing products that are right for them. If you don't know what concealer or foundation tone you are, try it on your neck or chest. You want your face to match the surrounding skin as closely as possible. Don't match it to your hand or arm, as it is likely that you will have a slightly different skin color there. You can also get professionally color matched at a makeup store or counter.
