In recent years, makeup for dark skin has become increasingly popular. This is due to the modern fashion for tanning - both natural and obtained artificially in a tanning bed or using tinted cosmetics.
Skin tone
It is safe to say that owners of dark skin were more fortunate than the rest. On the swarthy face various defects are less noticeable. Nevertheless, she has her own characteristic problems. So, dark skin in most cases is oily in type. Accordingly, one of the most important tasks of make-up for dark-skinned people is the matting of oily sheen, which can appear just an hour after the nano-eyebrow of decorative cosmetics.
Increased sebum secretion can nullify all the efforts of applying makeup: the foundation will flow, the shadows will roll down. To avoid this, you should carefully approach the choice of care products. Ideally, they should not contain oils, and they should indicate that they are made taking into account the characteristics of oily or combination skin.
The choice of tonal products for dark skin should be approached with no less attention. A too light shade of the foundation will create a mask effect on the face, and a dark shade will give it an unhealthy, earthy color. Foundation for dark skin must necessarily contain a yellow pigment.
Makeup powder for dark skin also plays an important role. It must be used after applying a tonal cream for matting the T-zone.
Eyes and eyebrows
Unlike fair-skinned girls with swarthy skin are given almost complete freedom of choice of colors and shades of eye makeup. As a rule, both dark shades and flashily bright are suitable for dark-skinned women. If the brightness of the shadows seems insufficient, they can be applied with a wet brush, which will make the color deeper.
For everyday makeup with dark skin suitable:
• sand;
• brown-bronze;
• copper shades.
For the evening, you can safely choose the dazzling shades of chocolate, red-orange and other bold colors.
As a complement to the shadows, a good solution would be to use blue-black or another eyeliner repeating the color of the shadows.
Lucky swarthy and with eyelashes. As a rule, they are naturally black and thick. However, in some cases eyelashes may lack bending. A curling mascara is designed to cope with this problem. Various salon procedures are also suitable, for example, lamination, the result of which lasts more than a month. Mascara is better to use a dark brown color.
Particular attention must be paid to eyebrows. For girls with dark skin, they are usually very thick, dark brown or black. In this regard, it is required to correct them in a timely manner, removing excess hairs with tweezers or wax. If the eyebrows are excessively dark, you should lighten them using special means. Eyebrows brightened by a couple of tones visually make the face younger and more tender.
Lips
In the make-up of the lips, the dark-skinned also have full freedom of choice. Absolutely all bright shades of red, purple and burgundy lipsticks, glitters and pencils suit them. Decorative lip products with a shimmer will also look great. The only condition is that you use them exclusively in tandem with calm, neutral shades of eye makeup.
Thus, girls with swarthy skin are extremely lucky, because among all existing skin tones, swarthy belongs to the widest palette of suitable colors and shades of makeup.
