Dark skin beauty MAKEUP?

what kind of make-up and coulours would suit black skin tones..like wot colour eyeliners and eyeshadows n then kind of stuffDark skin beauty MAKEUP?
it's not as hard as you think. black people have to stick to earthy tones... not just brown and stuff, but greens, purples, browns, sometimes black (in moderation!), soft oranges... think natural and it'll go well.


I use bare minerals they have good stuff. Go to MAC, Bobbi Brown, Sephora, etc. Drug store makeup doesn't have the variety that we need. It's good to go to the above named places cuz a pro will sit you down and try things out on your face for free, then you'll really know what works for you.Dark skin beauty MAKEUP?
try loreal HIP. the line is made specially for you!
Out of all they beauty books that I've read and looked through the most common colors for darker skin tones were mauves, plums, and deep shimmery browns...As for eyeliners Blackest Black was the most common, which makes sense to me...higher impact makeup contrasting with the darker skin tones....
You know what, covergirl, has an entire line devoted strictly to dark skin tones. They should have a section in your local super market or walmart. I believe Queen Latifah is the marketing face of this brand. They have all kinds of color eye shadows, foundation, eyeliner, lipstick, etc.





Check it out, it looks to be really good! :)
Unfortunately not alot of company do beauty products that compliment darker skin tones which is a shame since there is a growing number of black people living in the western world. Cover Girl Queen collection makeup endorsed by Queen Latifah offers a wide variety of beautiful tones to suit darker skin. I also recommend Iman Luxury Foundation.





for the eyes i recommend lilylolo mineral eyeshadows. try blue lagoon, this is a striking colour that compliments dark skin, greens, deep purple, brown, burgundy, coppery shades silver and gold shades work wonders for darker skin.





Avoid pastel colours like lilac, white, pink etc For the cheeks u can use a deep plum blusher or highlighter....but remember less is more
Mary Kay has colors for dark skin. To get tips go to http://www.marykay.com/micheleleahjones
Welle the best place for make up is MAC.


Try Gold, Purple, and Greens for Darker Tones
Purple looks really good on dark skin, so does blue
