What foundation for a black skin?

The carnation of the black beauties presents many different declinations according to the individuals. Some are deep black. Others shoot the orange-red, an autumn color, like Beyoncé. Naomi Campbell has a dark brown complexion. A métis skin is caramel or apricot color ... It is therefore necessary to adapt the foundation to its own shade. In large areas, the choice is not very wide for dark skins. But there are specific brands of care and makeup like Black Up .   We can also choose a generalist brand whose range offers a wide range of colors: Make up for ever , Mac , Bobbi Brown ... Also try: cream foundation for brown skin of the brand Avène . As for cream foundation "Circulez a rien à voir" from   Hapsatou Sy , its clues range from 1 to 14. Tones 4 to 8 are intended for the mixed and Mediterranean and the tones 9 to 14 to the women of the Tropics and Africa. For small budgets, the brand Sleek Make Up declines dark creams.

A luminous complexion

A black skin must hang light . The trick is to put lighter foundation touches on the areas of the face that capture it : the nose ridge, to refine, the area above the eyebrow, the cheekbones and the chin . These clear variants will allow to give relief to the face. The final touch will be an illuminator of complexion (pen Brush Touche Eclat by Yves Saint-Laurent No 4). If what comes out of the tube is almost white or pale pink, that's normal. Once on the skin the product becomes nicely translucent.

What color of eyeshadows for my complexion

Side eyeshadow, one also plays with the dominant of its complexion.

Your skin is a deep black color? We go to iridescent, golden, bronze tones that warm up.

Does your complexion shoot orange? It is put on maroon, yellow and copper.

A caramel complexion? Walleye, ocher and khaki will sublimate it.

Color your lips when you have black skin

Sometimes women do not dare apply their lips because they find them too fleshy . To avoid accentuating this trait, the gloss is avoided because the brilliant draws attention to the mouth and tends to give it even more volume. Instead, apply a dark pencil or lipstick (burgundy, garnet) to the lips. If, on the contrary, we put on the sensuality of a pulpy mouth, we can place a line of dark pencil on the contour of the lips, then inside a lighter color. And why not an intense red or a vermilion? The dark skins are lucky, everything goes.
