Black Skin Makeup


Women of color are known for having beautiful skin. Thanks to the more innovative cosmetic companies, they have done outstanding research and development on how makeup relates to black skin. Today a much larger percentage of black women have made themselves even more beautiful thanks to a skillful use of cosmetics. When properly applied, make-up can bring radiance to your complexion and smooth, conceal or camouflage your features. It can even change the shape of your face.


Black and dark-skinned women have often been led to believe that their skin is built for the sun. Their African background is used as the factor to make this belief seem true. In fact, it is not true. We have been misinformed. Whatever your color, protect your skin or you will pay for the neglect.

Black skin has special qualities. It has more epidermal layers than white skin. To some degree, this means greater protection from the sun and those additional layers, black skin often appears and feels smoother. Black skin has more melanin (the dark pigment in the epidermis), which reflects more of the sun’s rays, giving greater protection and reducing the drying process. But for all these positive qualities, black skin needs as much care as any other if it is to maintain its health and good looks.

Thirty percent of the epidermis, the outer layers of your skin, is made up of water. Even though the outer layer of the skin receives a continuous supply of water from the inner layer, the amount provided is limited at any given time. If you don’t use a sunscreen or moisturizing guard, the extreme dry conditions in certain areas of the country can have a dangerous effect on your skin. So, drinking lots of water is an important key to having healthy and youthful looking skin.
