Tip when buying foundation
To buy the foundation, the only way is to test on your own skin to see if it matches your skin tone. Another tip for the moment of purchase is to consult the composition of the foundation; avoid foundation that contains a component called titanium dioxide as it leaves the skin even darker and greyish. Foundation with more rosy tones also add a greyish appearance to the black skin, so choose the foundation with a warmer tone, pulling to the orange color, which ensures more golden tonality for the skin.

To achieve a natural makeup as it is the trend for the next seasons, I advise the use of colors slightly lighter and darker than your skin tone, to create the optical illusion of volume, light, and shadow.

Step 1: Foundation

Choose a good foundation with full coverage that matches your skin tone, preferably those with a reddish background. How to apply: apply the foundation from the inside out, with a brush or with the tips of the fingers, leaving the skin uniform with a natural effect.

Step 2: Concealer

According to the need for the skin. For dark circles, use a yellow concealer. It will neutralize the dark under the eyes. To cover the acne, use a green color concealer. Then, apply a concealer for your skin tone. How to apply: apply the concealer with a brush, or with the tips of the fingers.

To disguise the defects of the skin like pimples, blackheads and dark circles, use yellow, purple and green concealer.

Step 3: Compact powder

Use a brush appropriate for this product, always removing excess of forehead, chin, and cheek.

Step 4: Blush

Always gives preference to the shades like dark pink, peach and bronze, golden tones, browns and shore coast.

Step 5: Illuminator

Since the trend for the next seasons is an illuminated skin. Use one with tan and golden particles. How to apply: always on the tips, on the sides, between the eyes and the cheek.

Step 6: Eyeshadow

Dark brown smoky eyes
The brown smoky eyes is a makeup option that looks great on all skin tones. Also, it is very easy to do. In dark and black skin the dark makeup values the look and leaves it sensual. It is worth betting, you only have to pay attention to the makeup balance when choosing the lipstick, taking into account also the occasion! For a neutral makeup, use a brown with black smoky. If you want to rock in the night and do not know which shadow to use, abuse the emerald green, blue or purple. How to apply: Apply in the whole corner, the tone darker and the black in the concave.

Step 7: Eyeliner

Use a bevel or tip brush. You can abuse colors too. The blue eyeliner and eggplant combine with black skin.

Step 8: Mascara

Wear a lot of mascara and especially in the corner to emphasize your pretty eyes. How to apply: Remove excess from the brush so that it does not have any excess. Apply as many layers as needed.

Step 9: Lipstick

The red favors the black skin, the wine, a dark pink with more closed tone and orange. How to apply: You can apply a pencil in the tone of the lipstick and over the lipstick of the desired color. The matte lipstick has a better fixation. Corner of the mouth: correct with a concealer in a lighter tone and apply the foundation over.

In rush days

For a full day, use a BB cream. It is practical, moisturizes and evens tone the skin. It can be used in color and resolves as if it were everything. It has all the functions in one single product.

Take it easy

If you draw attention from the eyes, remember that the mouth should be neutral. A nude or light color lipstick. Nude lipstick, black girls should be careful with the famous nude lipsticks since the color can leave the lips with a washed out appearance. The ideal is to opt for colors that are close to the tone of the mouth. The color of the lipstick is ideal to combine with heavier eye makeup. Not to make mistakes in nude lipstick, opt for lipsticks of that hue with a pink background.
