Best Makeup Tips for Dark Skin



A lot of people seem to feel and believe that makeup looks good only on fair skin. Prepare to be surprised because the truth is, makeup may look just as flattering on dark skin. The key is to know what particular makeup to use. For dark skin, the best foundation to use must be water-based. Dark skin has a tendency to look oily, and using cream foundation will only worsen the effect. The water-based foundation must be of a shade closest to your skin tone.
Next, follow up the foundation with a dust of loose powder. Be careful not to over dust, especially around the eye area. Once you have done this, the next step is to choose eyeshadow colors for your eyes. Shades of brown and bronze are very flattering on dark skin; so are dark metallic colors. White or very light colors will look great on fair skin, but they will not have the same effect on dark skin. Purple and blue hues may also look great on dark skin.
Now, outline your eyes with dark eye lining pencil. Eyeliners in black or chocolate brown is preferred. Next, thicken your eyelash with at least two coats of dark mascara to draw attention to the eyes.
You may also use a highlighter on the bridge of your nose, around your eye or above the cheek bones and upper lip.
When choosing the right shade of lipstick, go for more intense colors, like dark reds or corals. Lipsticks in burgundy will also look pleasing on dark skin. For your blush, warm colors in rose or deep orange are highly recommended for dark skin. If you are going to a night of fun and entertainment with friends, you may add a bit of drama to your cheeks by dusting your cheeks with a hint of gold color.

Skin Care in Winter

Winter is a great season to enjoy. In winter, skin gets so dry cause of weather change.

Another big reason of dry skin is that in winter we try to take less water and replace it with hot drinks like coffee, tea, hot chocolate and this is one of the reason of dehydration in body.

So try to take more water even in winter and keep your skin moisturize.
During winter, regular lotions and creams aren't even that helpful.

So, try to go with the Home Made products which will last long and keep your skin mosturized.

Tips:

Try to use some cream or lotion which contains glycerine in it.

While taking bath, add few drops of any oil in it. This will keep your skin moisturized for a long period of time.

Don't use too much heat in your home. Adjusting the humidity in your home can also help to prevent dryness.

In winter, take diet rich with Omega 3 and 6. Such as Fish, eggs and milk.

Aloe Vera juice is good for the skin. Drink 1-2 glasses of this juice in a day. Aloe Vera gel can be applied on the face as a good moisturizer too.

Cover your skin as much as possible when facing extreme cold and harsh winds. Use gloves, mufflers, scarves, and jackets.

You don’t have to be unattractive because there are real solutions that can help you improve your complexion without spending too much. Put a little color on your skin by making use of some sort of cheek blusher directly on the apples of your face.

Following the makeup foundation application, start using a few dab of blush-on to the apples of your face so as to add color as well as contour.
Listed below are some benefits associated with using blush-on as well as the reason why you might want to always be making time for it.

Blush-on application is amazingly effortless. You actually don’t really need to be an experienced person only just to be able to make use of a simple yet effective blusher on your own face. Most people just simply need to decide on the type of blusher that you would like to put directly on your own face. Pat the actual brush on the blusher and spread the contents around the apples of your face. Take a moment to blend it well with the contours of your cheeks, the foundation that you have used, as well as the other makeup that you have used like your eye shadow, face powder and lipstick. These are just basic, but in actual, you’ll have to deal with a lot. But just for an everyday look, make sure that the ones mentioned are blended well together in order to create a nice harmony of colors on your face, and make it look as natural as it can be.
A great deal of shades and tones are available in the market today. The usual shades of blush-on are pink, orange and bronze. It is most beneficial that you understand your skin tone in order to choose the best color or shade of blusher to wear. Don’t wear blusher that is too bright. Just choose the color that is natural looking. You will definitely find the right shade for you with a wide range of shades to choose from.

It adds color to your face. You will not be looking like dead anymore with your pale skin. You just have to apply the blusher evenly on your face to create a natural blush on your face. It will give your color to your face. Applying foundation and lipstick is no enough to look good. The middle portion of your face looks pale without the blusher on.

Match Nail Color To Your Skin Tone

Many things can influence your choice of nail color: the seasons, trends and your mood. Some say that lipstick shades that look great on your lips will also be the right color for your fingernails. That method, however, doesn’t work for colors like neon greens, yellows and blues!

More often nail color is matched to clothing. Actually the colors you wear and look good in have a lot to do with skin tone, so it makes sense that another way to tell which nail colors are right for you is by discovering what colors complement your complexion.

You might find that one shade of blue looks great on you, yet another is terrible. Or you’ll notice that a vibrant pink looks great on someone who appears to have the same complexion as you, but on you the same color looks drab. The type of pink you can wear depends on your skin tone. It can also be determined by whether the polish itself has a yellow or blue base.

Ethnic skin is typically lumped into warm or neutral-based categories, but depending upon racial background, some ethnic women have cool undertones as well.

So how do you know what undertones your skin has? Stand in natural light, either outside or by a window and look at your arm. Skin with pink, blue or red undertones is considered cool. Skin with golden, beige, or olive is considered warm. If you still can’t tell, look at your wrist. If your veins look blue, you have a cool undertone. If your veins look green, you have a warm undertone. If you still can’t determine your undertone, you might be neutral and you’re lucky because you can wear most colors.

Pale Complexions
Pale skin tones are considered a cool skin type. Lighter shades with pink or blue undertones are best. Pastel colors look great. Choose pinks or reds to brighten the complexion. Choose blue-based reds. If you’re pale with a warm tone, you can even try coral reds. If you’re very light, you want to avoid extremely dark or overpowering shades because these will make you look too pale. If you do wear a dark color like black, you’ll probably want to trim your nails to a shorter length.

Polish tip: Choose a polish with a blue base.
Shades that flatter: Pale: pastel pinks, blues and greens, pale peach, beige.
Shades to avoid: Dark polishes like dark blue or black (unless you happen to like the Goth or vamp look), yellow, green, gold and orange.

Fair Complexions
Fair, with a warm tone, you tend to have more of a variety of shades to choose from. Cool and warm tones can wear red, but cool undertones look better in blue-based reds. Warm (golden or peachy) tones look better in red polish with yellow/orange undertones.

Polish tip: Choose a polish with a blue base or yellow base, based on undertones.
Shades that flatter: Beige, white and silver. (French manicures look great), light and medium toned purples, soft oranges, darker pinks, reds and berry shades.
Shades to avoid: Very dark blue, black, green, dark orange, gold.

Tan Complexions
Tanned skin looks better in warmer colors. Lighter shades can accentuate tanned skin, like warm pale shades of brown, light blues, pinks and purples. Avoid gold, which will just blend with your skin color.

Polish tip: Blue and (possibly) yellow base.
Shades that flatter: Light blues, pinks and purples, tangerine, light brown, copper brown and chocolate.
Shades to avoid: Gold and shades of gold (because it will blend in with the tanned skin and lose vibrancy).

Medium/Olive Complexions

Medium skin tones enjoy a wide range of colors. You look good in dark burgundy and wines, vibrant colors like pink, blue, yellow and orange. Silver and metallics (like metallic blue). Medium-dark can wear black, navy blue, dark pinks, burgundy. Olive skin has a combination of yellow undertone and greenish hue. It looks slightly beige with yellow undertones. Peach or gold colors enhance olive complexions. Blue-based reds and orange-reds should be avoided. Olive-dark tones look great in earthy tones and chocolate browns with red undertones. Some reds, russet for example, work well, and gold.

Shades that flatter: Olive: peach or gold colors. Olive-medium: brown, reddish-browns, gold.
Polish tip: Blue or yellow base.

Medium-dark:

Shades that flatter: Vibrant orange, pink and blue, light blue, lilac, silver, metallic and glittery colors.
Shades to avoid: Dark purple, red or navy blue. Bronze colors won’t show well against your skin tone. Medium-dark: avoid paler, pastel shades, which could appear washed out.

Dark Complexions
Dark complexions can wear rich, deep shades, except dark brown, which will disappear. What looks great are burgundy, vibrant purples, plums, Bright orange and pinks zap the color out of rich dark tones. Neon yellow, orange and green can be shocking—in a negative sense. Though darker shades are better, very dark tones need to be careful with deep purples, grays and black, because these shades could make the skin appear muddy and dull.

Polish tip: Yellow or brown-based undertones.
Shades that flatter: Deep purples, dark, yellow-based reds, dark greens, dark blues, black, chocolate-brown and gold.
Shades to avoid: Orange, yellow, neon colors, pastels, white and silver.

If you’re not sure about how a nail color will look on you, the best way to decide whether you like it is to test it out on a fingernail. You can’t judge from the color in a bottle because achieving the color can be based on how many coats of the lacquer are applied. You could also love a color on your toenails, but be totally unimpressed when it’s applied to your fingernails. OPI.com has a great Try It On feature that lets you see how nail shades look on different skin tones.

So this is a general guideline. It’s not set in stone. Trust your gut and your eyes. You’ll know which shades look best on you.

All About Makeup

Most people, women in general want to look pretty, if not so much as “head-turning”. To achieve this goal, Face Lift is not the Number 1 option, and neither is Plastic Surgery. Both are much too expensive, risky and not at all affordable to the majority in the female world. The best option, and of course, most affordable, is Makeup. But makeup is not applied in whatever way. There are techniques and tips on how to apply makeup.

1) Powder:

Base: Choose the shade that is closest to your skin color. Avoid using too dark or too light shades. Either one will make

your face look burned or you were dipped in flour.

Finishing Powder: Choose the shade closest to your base powder by applying in circular motion.

Shading: Use the shade that is darker than your powder and brush it with upward, slant strokes just below the

cheekbone.

2) Eye Makeup:

Shadow: Choose the color that will enhance the color of your eyes, make your eyes look deep set and bigger (for

smaller sllit eyes, and smaller (for bigger eyes.)

Highlight: If necessary, to make your lower brows prominent.

Shading: For cute little nose, shade the sides with natural color from the bridge to your nostrils.

Eyelids: Choose the color that best blends with your outfit.

Eyeliner: Make it as faint as possible.

Mascara: Apply it lightly so as not to look too heavy and make your eyes look droopy.

3) Blush:

Use the color that best suits to skin undertone, warm (orange or yellowish shade skin), cool (pink shade skin).

4) Eyebrows:

If you have natural well-shaped eyebrows, consider yourself very lucky, you do not have to do anything. For very thick

eyebrows, there are epilators to help you shape it they way you want, but for very thin or no eyebrows at all, use the

pencil and line your eyebrows in the a way that best suited to the shape of your face. Use the color closest to your hair

color.

5) Lipstick:

Use the color that matches with your blush, only a little darker.

Tips On Applying Mascara

Try using a lighter shade of eyeliner under the lower lashes and a heavier shade above the upper lashes if you want your eyes to appear deeper and more open.

Always use a light touch when applying eye make up, if you want to add depth then do so in easy stages, otherwise you may have to clean up and start all over again or feel uncomfortable with the make up looking caked on and unnatural.

When we meet people, whether it is for the first time or old friends, most will first look into each others eyes.

It is no wonder that it is said that the eyes are truly the mirrors of the soul. That first impression is important in so many situations that special attention to healthy, clear and beautiful eyes is worth the effort.
