If you naturally have a beautiful darker complexion, at times it may be a bit difficult to find products that blend well with your skin.
Don’t feel discouraged, with so many makeup companies around the world there are a wide variety of colors to choose from!
As you scroll down, learn in more depth how to highlight and contour on a darker complexion.
Highlighting
To highlight means that you want to bring out that area of your face or body. Think of photography; where the flash hits that’s where you highlight. As an example, most women highlight their under eyes to get rid of dark circles and the bridge of their nose to add dimension.
If you work a lot, highlighting with a concealer will make you look more awake and refreshed.
Contouring
To contour an area means that you want to mold that part of your face or body into a specific shape. A very popular makeup trend is to contour your cheekbones, nose and forehead.
There are a variety of products to choose from when it comes to contour palettes. Preferably, I recommend the combination of creams and powders, but if you are just starting out with makeup a powder will give you more control and tends to be less messy. An excellent tip for blending makeup properly is to use a beauty blender.
4 Tricks that are a must in makeup
- Foundation should be applied before highlighting and contouring because it serves as a base.
- Don’t leave any harsh lines when you do your makeup, blend everything together.
- Use a setting spray after you are done with makeup and it will last all day.
- Find a tool either a brush or a beauty blender to apply makeup; using your fingers works, but a more professional look is achieved by using a makeup tool.
