You will have to begin to comprehend this science by selecting cosmetics by color, and then decide on the method of applying it.

Dark-skinned women differ from each other not only in eye and hair color, eye shape and face shape, outfit and mood, but also in the shade of dark skin - there are a great variety of them.

What is the makeup of dark-skinned girls based on?

Like any other, makeup for dark-skinned women should start with preparatory work, during which the skin becomes clean, moisturized and receives a sufficient and necessary basis for protection from the negative effects of decorative products.
Basic products are also designed to ensure that lipstick, eye shadow and other paints apply better and last longer, and the skin acquires an even tone and color.
Find the right one foundation for dark skin – this is already half the battle on the way to beautiful makeup. The tone is selected by applying a sample of foundation to the neck area; if the tone blends with the skin, then this foundation is suitable for you. You cannot select the color by smearing a sample on your hand, since the skin color of your face and hands is very different.
Dark skin looks somewhat yellowish due to the high content of yellow pigment in it. Therefore, it is better to take a tint with a similar shade. Foundation creams come in pink, yellow and neutral shades, try applying them in stripes to a small area on your neck, and you will understand which one is right for you.
Next, you need to powder your face, and for this purpose, a product one tone lighter than the original skin tone is suitable. You should not get carried away with powder, since dark skin needs much less than light skin.

Eyes, lips, cheeks

The most difficult moment is to choose the right shadows for dark-skinned people, because not all shades will look as expressive in practice as they do in the palette. Best choice in this regard - paints with reflective particles, shimmer, shine, metallic, and also with the addition of rhinestones. No need to be afraid bold decisions– purple, lilac, gold, red, brown, copper, dark gray and blue shadows that make the eyes much more expressive. Modest shades will be completely lost on the face, since dark skin loves to absorb colors. But light pink and beige shadows will help hide minor imperfections in the skin and appearance if used in multi-color makeup, along with more spectacular colors.

Red lips are ideal for evening, especially if the lipstick has a warm brownish tint. The contour of the lips is drawn using a brown pencil.

In general, the lipstick is chosen to be a tone or two lighter than the lips, and covered with gloss on top, so the lips look fresh and juicy.

To complete the dark-skinned makeup, the cheekbones are emphasized with blush.

Tanned skin slightly changes your color type, so the makeup you're used to may look bad in the summer. To demonstrate all the beauty of your beautiful tan, you need to know a special approach to tanned skin. Let's listen to the advice of makeup artists on how to properly do makeup for tanned skin, what shades of eye shadow, lipstick, blush and foundation are most beneficial to highlight your tanned skin tone.

Choosing a tone.

A tint for tanned skin may be needed if you need to remove imperfections from your face. And in this case, it is recommended to apply the foundation exclusively to problem areas. At the same time, the makeup base should match the tone of your skin. Determining the tone of your tanned skin is simple - apply a little foundation to back side wrists and blend it out. If the color matches your skin, then you can safely purchase this product. Choose foundations with light textures that do not clog pores and will best highlight the tone of your tanned skin. If your skin does not need correction, then a light mattifying powder is what you need. As for blush, they can be replaced with powder on the floor or a tone darker than the main powder for tanned skin. Blush with shimmering particles best accentuates tanned skin.

Eye makeup.

As for eyeliner, in this matter you should focus on lighter shades. Such as walnut, dark brown, bronze, brick, gold (for dark hair with green and brown eyes), taupe, silver, blue-gray (for fair hair with blue and gray eyes), as well as the entire green color palette (for green and brown eyes). The texture of the pencil can be either matte or pearlescent. It all depends on where you want to appear in this makeup. But when choosing mascara, you should not change your previous habits. So, for dark-haired people with brown and green eyes, black and dark brown mascara is suitable. For blondes with light eyes - gray-black and light brown.

To make your eyes look more expressive and stand out against tanned skin, you need to apply eyelashes. In addition to classic black mascara, you can also experiment with colored mascara. For dark-haired ladies with dark eyes, purple mascara is suitable; for those with light hair and light eyes, green, dark brown and blue colors carcasses.

We suggest finishing your eye makeup with eyebrow correction. They have definitely faded in the sun and need updating. For these purposes, you need to choose a pencil that matches your hair and draw it well. Or you can use eyebrow dye, so the color restoration will be faster.

We bring to your attention an example of what eye makeup for tanned skin might look like with step-by-step instructions.

For this makeup look you will need light purple pearlescent eyeshadow, sandy matte eyeshadow, pearlescent cream eyeshadow, black eyeliner and black mascara.
Step 1. Cover the entire upper eyelid with sand shadows.
Step 2. Use light purple shadows on the upper eyelid from the inner corner of the eye along the crease of the eyelid to the outer corner of the eye. Go slightly beyond the edges of the outer corner of the eye and blend the shadow well.
Step 3: Apply pearlescent cream shadow to the middle of the outer corner of the eye.
Step 4. Using shadows of the same color, go under the eyebrows from their middle to the outer edge.
Step 5. Draw a line of black eyeliner along the upper eyelid, moving from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. At the outer corner of the eye, go slightly beyond its boundaries, leaving a “tail” of the drawn arrow. Run a black pencil along the lower edge of the eyelid and lightly blend the clear line with a cotton swab.
Step 6. Apply white eyeshadow with shimmery particles to the middle of the upper eyelid.
Step 7. Apply black mascara to your eyelashes.

Lip makeup.

When applying lip makeup, you should also adhere to the principle of naturalness. For daytime makeup, a transparent, light beige or pale pink lip gloss will be enough. And for the evening you can choose a more saturated color. For brown-haired women and brunettes ideal option there will be coral, plum, light raspberry. And for blondes it is worth trying caramel color, color milk chocolate and the color of crushed berries.

Put the contour pencil aside for a while: on a tanned face, the contour may look rough. If you want to visually increase the volume of your lips, then a lip gloss with a voluminous effect will do the job perfectly. Choose a gloss of light colors and, preferably, with protection from harmful solar radiation. Otherwise, "evil" sun rays threaten to dry out your lips and make them colorless. Lipstick for summer should also have SPF protection.

Sultry beauties with dark skin Often they cannot choose decent makeup that will highlight the advantages of the face and at the same time hide its shortcomings.

What kind of makeup is suitable for girls with dark skin? However, girls who love to sunbathe will also be interested in this information.

Briefly about the main thing:

A few facts about dark skin:

The veins on the wrist of dark-skinned beauties have a greenish or olive tone.
Gold suits such girls more than silver.
The sun's rays give the skin a slight yellowish tint.

Dark skin and foundation

The downside is that the “foundation” on dark skin will be more noticeable than on a pale one, so you need to pay special attention to the selection of foundation.

First of all, keep in mind that the foundation must perfectly match your skin tone, otherwise it will be easily noticeable. Since dark skin has about forty shades, it will not be possible to choose a foundation the first time, but you should keep in mind that options with a yellow tint are good. The main thing is that the foundation does not contain fat, since dark skin reflects light well.

Alternatively, you can mix darker and darker light shade foundation, thus choosing the most suitable tone. Also, dark foundation can be mixed with moisturizer or soft pink blush to make it lighter. If your skin tone is slightly darker than the foundation you are using, your makeup will look unnatural.

It is better to buy water-based foundation. Since combination or oily dark skin is often found, using powder to set foundation and eye shadow on the eyelids will also not hurt. It is better to buy loose powder. Apply it completely dry face when the cream is completely absorbed (otherwise it will start to roll together with the powder).

It doesn’t hurt to use a highlighter and, if necessary, a concealer that will hide skin imperfections.

Step-by-step instructions - apply foundation to facial skin

Apply the foundation dotwise and gently blend it with a brush.
Apply concealer to the area under the eyes to hide dark circles.
Using a highlighter (it makes the face more expressive and gives the skin a shimmer), we highlight the area under the eyebrows and on the cheekbones.
If you want to make your face more defined, a little bronzer on your cheekbones won't hurt.
A completely optional, but desirable touch is blush, which should be used in minimal quantities. For dark skin, blush in orange or coral shades is suitable.

Eye makeup

For dark girls It is also necessary to take a responsible approach to the choice of shadows, since not all shades harmonize successfully with such skin. When choosing a shade, you need to pay attention not only to skin tone, but also to eye color. So, girls with dark and gray eyes shades of purple and blue flowers, and to the owners blue eyes Makeup artists recommend choosing golden brown and peach shades.

In essence, girls with dark skin are ideally suited to both bright colors (such shadows look great on dark or tanned skin) and delicate pastel shades, but rich dark colors still fit better.

Great Makeup will do, in which the eyes are outlined using kajala– a soft eye pencil made from natural ingredients, which can be either dark or colored, repeating the bright shade of the shadows. Shade it with a brush or even your finger.

Shadows for daytime makeup. In this case, bronze, brown, sand shadows are suitable. It is better to combine them with a brown pencil.

You can also choose from brighter colors - for example, green, coral, reddish-lilac, burgundy or bright lilac. Shadows with a shimmering or metallic effect look incredibly beautiful on dark-skinned girls.

To give the shadows greater saturation, it is recommended to apply them with a damp applicator (or better yet, with a damp brush).

Lip makeup and dark skin – which shades to choose?

Orange, as well as pearlescent and frosty shades do not suit dark-skinned girls, but warm brown shades do. For evening makeup, shades of red with warm splashes of brown tones are good. Cherry and plum colors are also suitable for dark skin.

It is important to use blush that emphasizes facial features in both evening and daytime makeup. Peach and brown shades look great on dark skin. When choosing shadows, makeup artists advise giving preference to shades that are several tones lighter than your skin.

Evening makeup for dark skin

Summer makes its own adjustments to our beauty habits, and this applies not only to skin care, but also to makeup. If during the warm season you do not hide from the sun and sunbathe with pleasure, then you will have to put aside the “winter” foundations and choose a slightly darker shade. It is worth noting that tanned skin generally has a more even tone, imperfections are less noticeable on it, which means that large quantities of cosmetics are not needed. Let's talk about the features of harmonious makeup for dark and tanned skin.

Makeup rules for tanned skin

After a couple of weeks spent at sea, your usual light foundation will cover your face like a mask. You need a shade that matches tanned skin. Try to find a product with a light and comfortable texture - in summer there is no need for a thick layer of foundation. The optimal solution would be a cream with a care effect.

Tanned skin is the key to a fresh, rested look. Cosmetics with a radiant texture will help to consolidate and enhance the effect. A product like Giorgio Armani's Fluid Sheer comes in handy: it can be used as a highlighter or added to foundation.

Looks great against tanned skin bright colors. Highlight your eyes or use mascara. It wouldn’t be superfluous to focus on the lips - choose matte or cream lipstick rich shade (glossy “vinyl” is best left for evening outings in the autumn-winter season).

Makeup for dark skin and brown eyes

The combination of tanned skin and brown eyes will highlight the golden glow.

When creating daytime makeup, brown eyes can be highlighted with beige-golden, bronze or copper shadows. Apply them to your eyelids and blend to a translucent layer. Evening makeup involves more saturated shades of shadows with a metallic effect: brown, plum, and graphite. The main thing is not to create too dense a coating. Summer makeup should be easy.

Makeup for dark skin and green or blue eyes

Light eyes already look advantageous on a tanned face. But this does not mean that you should not attract additional attention to them.

This can be done, firstly, by shaping the eyebrows - if you highlight them with a more saturated color, the eyes will immediately become more noticeable.

Secondly - due to graphic elements in makeup and application dark shades. The necessary emphasis will be provided by ordinary arrows. Isolating the inner contour will do the job just as well. More is not required: rich smoky eyes in combination with dark skin, as a rule, look vulgar.

Here, as in the case of brown eyes, it doesn’t hurt to add a little shine. Good decision there will be highlights in the corners of the eyes created with the help of a highlighter.

Makeup for dark skin: step-by-step photo instructions

Tanned skin “speaks” for itself - to look attractive, it needs very little. A few strokes will be enough to achieve the desired result.

Step 1: Moisturize your skin and apply foundation. Using sculpting powder, lightly highlight your cheekbones - as if a shadow was “laid” on them.

Step 2: Apply eye makeup. Start by applying a base, then spread a beige shimmer shadow over your eyelids. Complement them with a brown shade (also with a metallic effect), darkening the outer corners of the eyes with it. Blend the boundaries of color transitions.
