Black Makeup Application Made Easy
Here are some tips on applying black makeup or dark skinned complexions:
1. Cleanse 2. Tone 3. Moisturize 4. Apply concealer if necessary
• Most black women are plagued with scars, pigment discolorations, varicose veins, stretch marks, and other imperfections. When applying black makeup, it can be a bit tricky. The cosmetics industry has finally discovered this and has done an outstanding job in now providing quality products for black women with these conditions.
5. Apply foundation and powder
• Foundations can be used to protect against bacteria and impurities, even out the skin tones-that is, a light T-zone or dark patchy areas. Also blushers and other make-up glide on easier and cling better when the skin is covered with a foundation. Overall foundation creates a natural-looking healthy skin glow.
• Don’t try to change your skin tone with foundation. It is important to choose a foundation that coordinates and harmonizes with your skin tone.
• It is important when applying black makeup, that you test a foundation based on the season in which it is to be worn. Don’t buy one foundation and expect it to impart the right color for four seasons of the year.
• When it comes to black makeup, don’t rush your purchase. You must take the time and have the patience to test your foundation, but first check your skin for changes before you buy.
• Powder can take away the shine and absorbs oil and perspiration for those women whose skin tends to be slightly oily. Applying powder to your foundation also prepares your face, giving it a silky texture on top of which to apply your blush. Black makeup can look flawless and beautiful.
6. Applying eye Makeup • Black makeup should be used properly. The major principle is to keep the look clean, blended, and subtle except in the evening. You should try to look elegant and glamorous.
Eyeliner: The smoldering and smoky look around the eyes is most attractive on black women, especially darker-skinned women… Rich, deep blues look exceptionally well on black women with medium to dark skin tones. When you use the eyeliner, be sure to color the top lid as well as the bottom.
Pencil vs. Liquid Eyeliners:
Liquid eyeliner is still one of the most popular forms, but I recommend the pencil eyeliner because you can control it better…both forms are serviceable and can have attractive results.
Eye Shadow:
Eye shadow comes in cream, crayon, powder, or liquid. The powder shadows are ideal for most skin types because they can be controlled easily and they appear to be softer, silkier, and smoother on your skin. However, the powders are best suited for oily, combination, and normal to oily skin. The cream shadows are best for women with very dry eyelids.
Mascara:
The purpose of mascara is to build up your lashes. Mascara makes your lashes look longer, thicker, and more smoldering. The shades that look best on black women are black, brown/black, dark brown, antique bronze, and berry shades, the newest entries on the market…Don’t be reluctant to try colorful mascara… Pay attention to your mix of colors when you make up, though. Be careful what color eye shadow you use with colored mascara. Test the mascara before you buy it. Cosmetics companies provide disposable wands for testing purposes.
For most women, eyebrow make-up fills in the spaces between the hairs and covers any scarring in the brow area… Eyebrows can easily be filled in with a pencil to give more definition to the lone. But don’t think in terms of starting at the beginning of your brow and drawing a line to the end, out toward the temples.
Now you’ll just be filling in the spaces between the hair, according to the existing shape. Eyebrow makeup can also be used where you have over tweezed or over plucked. Shape the eyebrow with the pencil and fill in until new growth appears, then do your reshaping.
Blushers:
The purpose of a blusher is to bring a blush and glow to the cheeks. Black companies have developed many natural, warm, and sophisticated deep-pigmented shades for black skin, which have proved to be excellent. Your lipstick and blusher do not have to match; however, they should be of the same color family or in the same color range.
Powder Blushers:
Powder imparts a natural-looking, soft-matte finish. Or all the formulas, it is the easiest to apply and looks the best on black skin. Powders glide on smoothly and don’t leave a bumpy, ashen buildup.
Cream Blushers:
Cream blushers are best for combination or dry skin.
