Black don't Crack! Make up tips Inside ...

How to wear makeup for ladies with darker skin complexion …  

                                                                                                  

….    I get a lot of inquires with lovely dark skin women who always ask me what looks good on me? What eye shadow colors, lipstick, nail polish, and foundations should I use with my dark skin tone?      

It’s not as hard as you ladies may think on picking colors that go with your skin tone. It’s actually a lot of fun due to you are able to use bright bold colors and they just look amazing on darker skin tones. Now you do have to be careful, picking the wrong shades can appear more ashy on the surface but done right you can have a flawless gorgeous complexion. If you didn't know, darker skin can withstand the exposure from the sun and heat due to the melon and pigment of the skin. That’s a main reason why you will never get sunburn and wont wrinkle. You will look younger than ever the more you age. Isn't that awesome!  

                   

 When you focusing on your eyes the most important thing is you want to make them pop, by lining just the top of the eye lid. You have to be careful with using eyeliner on the waterline as it may give off the appearance of a tired look. On the eyelid you want to use plums, burgundy, gold and bright colors. When using bright colors you want to focus them on the eyelid. Then, using a darker color in your crease; dark brown, dark plums, wine or even black for a more dramatic look. Always remember to trace in your eye brows the same color as your hair. This allows the face to be framed for a more polished look and of course a must, Mascara to bring it all together!

Next, we want to focus on the skin. The more pigment you may have the more hyper-pigmentation you may find, which can be difficult on finding the right shade. Always remember you want to look at your whole picture, you don’t want your face to appear lighter than the rest of your body or vice-versa. So always start with a concealer first. This tends to be 1 or 2 shades lighter than your foundation for better coverage. Typically you may want to use more of a yellow base if it appears to look ashy try more of an orange/gold or even pink for a better complexion.  When choosing the perfect concealer you always want to look at exactly what you’re covering and your skin type. Matte-finishes will cover blemishes as well work very well with oily skin as for a creamy base will work better under the eye, covers lighter areas, and works well with skin that tends to need more hydration. Same thing goes for foundation for skin types but the MOST IMPORTANT thing here is we want to match the perfect color. You want to aim for the middle color of the pigment on the surface, but keep in mind that the inner part of your face is always lighter than the outer most part of your face to pull the look together on looking fabulous!  

Blush, Highlight & Contour are more ways to keep you looking young and fresh! Great colors for blushes would be red undertones, copper, plums, corals, and even fuchsia. These colors help the skin to look alive and REMEMBER you want to focus the blush on the apples of your cheeks not too much though you want to make it seem as if you’re “BLUSHING” not a baby doll unless that’s the look you’re going for.  Golden highlights just look amazing on darker skin you want to focus on your cheek bones and as for your contour it’s like carving a pumpkin. By using a more of a dark chocolate you want to go in on the hallow areas of the face to give off the appearance of a sleeker look.   

             

 LIPSTICKS & Nail Polish are my personal favorite and can be very easy to pick out your right color. You can choose anything from bright pinks and corals to a brick red or dark plum. When choosing nudes you want to be careful not to go to light. Still look for something that has a sheer pink coral undertone, or a sheer red or plum keeping the natural color of your own lips. Lining the lips can be fun also depending on which colors you are using lip liners can completely change the color of your favorite lipstick by making it darker or lighter. Same for Nail polish feel free to add in your own personal style as well.

WHAT'S IN YOUR MAKEUP?

As a celebrity makeup artist, I am very aware of what ingredients are in a product because I don't want my client to have an allergic reaction.

  For instance, one of the most common ingredients found in brow liner, foundation, bronzer, lipstick and more is Zinc Oxide. This is an inorganic oxide, used as a colorant and sunscreen agent, its functions consist of a bulking Agent; Colorant and Skin Protection.

 More importantly to the client is the texture of the makeup that they are using to interact with their skin type. Examples, such as a matte finish for more oily skin. Matte is having a dull or lusterless surface where the skin doesn’t produce a dewy surface. You can find matte eye shadows, foundations and lipsticks. These products appear with a dyer finish.

 One of the main ingredients in Matte Finishes is Silica. Silicon dioxide is a form of sand that is safe to use in makeup due to that they aren’t small enough to enter into your pores. Its main function is to prevent Oils from coming to the surface and provides an anti caking formula as well.

 One thing that every woman loves is Eye Liner. Kohl can be found in a lot of different liners used to darken areas such as the corner of the eye lid, waterline, and well as eyebrows. Kohl is a powder which makes it smooth to move around the surface and easy to pack more color. The main ingredient in Kohl is Galena which is a natural mineral form of lead sulfide.

 Shimmer can be found mostly in eye shadows and liners, and can be broken down into many different textures depending on how much shimmer you are looking for. The main ingredient in shimmer base products is Mica. Mica adheres to the skin and is used to give a luster or pearl finish to any product. Mica is resistant to heat, sweat, oils, and chemical attack. When mixed with iron oxide this active ingredient gives off a flakes sparkle with a gold tint.

 One ingredient that is used to provide shimmer is Bismuth ox chloride (BOC) a lot of mineral make-up have this active ingredient inside but can cause a serious skin and respiratory irritant. It’s very important to investigate with your clients as well as knowing your products and there ingredients so a beautiful makeover doesn’t go wrong.
