What colors in the makeup of dark skin?

Better to give up bright pinks and reds (especially on the lips), which look cheesy with a dark complexion. A few simple rules make it very easy to choose the right colors:

  • Fluid- should match the color of the neck. Shades of orange, which optically warm the complexion, will be appropriate.
  • Powder- may be a shade lighter than the foundation.
  • Highlighterliquid or brightening powder on the temples in a light shade is a must in everyday makeup.
  • The color of pink , which will emphasize the beauty of dark skin, is peach, orange and all shades of dark, cold pink.
  • Lipsticks and lip glosses- more color options appear here: peach, apricot, beige, caramel, powder pink, dark red, expressive purple.
  • Eyeshadow colors- must match the eye color, but in most cases earth colors, light brown, dark gold, khaki, navy blue, dark gray will work. You have to be careful with thevery light shadows, e.g. silver, and black eyeliner is better left for the evening, because with this type of complexion it provides a very expressive, sexy look.
  • Eyebrow makeup- use two shadows or pencils to avoid the 'raven effect'. Emphasize them darker on the outside and lighter on the inside, or not at all.
  • Bronzer- women with very dark skin can replace the classic bronzer with a black or dark gray eyeshadow with light pigmentation.

Note! The streaks of the fluid will be more visible on dark skin, so when painting, apply it thoroughly with a brush or a special sponge for liquid foundations.
