Makeup Tips For Black Women

Black women have some of the best skin tone on the world because color just lights up on it.  The trick is to know how to apply makeup and use color properly so that you look your absolute best. Here are some makeup tips for black women that will put you on the right path.

• It’s very important that your skin looks as natural as possible rather than overdone or cakey. If you have good skin then skip the foundation and concealer, but if you need some help with covering unwanted blemishes or under eye circles you should be careful as to the shades that you work with. Often time’s women of color find that they have to mix colors to find one that matches their skin perfectly. If you need help with this just head over to a department store beauty counter and a specialist can help you out.
• If you want to highlight your cheeks you’ll find that bronzer will give you better results than blush. You can even use it as a highlighter to bring out your best features.
• If you’re a woman of color with brown eyes then you can play amongst the eye shadow counter like a kid in the candy store. There’s no color whatsoever that won’t look amazing on your skin and bring out your eyes. There is one thing you should keep in mind however while you’re playing with eye shadow and that’s the color of your undertones. If you have a cool undertone the blue colors will look best on your skin and if you have warm undertones yellow will look best. This doesn’t meant that you should stay away from the other colors, it just means that one will look more amazing than the other.
• Black women are infamous for having beautiful full lips so be sure to flaunt them. Use lip gloss in shades of berry, plum and chocolate to make them stand out. You can also use liner in the same shade as your gloss to keep the color from bleeding if you like.

Now what are you waiting for? Get out there and look gorgeous!
