Makeup Hacks For Medium-Deep Skin Tones
In “Makeup For Beginners” I answered a question from one of my lovely porcelain skinned viewers.
Here are some adjustments to those techniques for those in the olive-chocolate tones!
Focus On The Highlight
Use a concealer a few shades lighter to brighten and bring forward the areas where you wouldn’t contour.Bronzer As Setting Powder
Use a bronzer to lightly set your cream layer for a glowing sun kissed finish.Go Bright With Blush
Skin rich with melanin calls for blush rich with pigment. It may look crazy in the pan but trust - it’s going to look stunning on you!Blush As Eye Shadow
Go with an orange blush, and it’s also the perfect color to naturally brighten your eyes! Sweep across the lid for a subtle summer pop!Get The Right Gloss
Monochrome is in. Keep the orange going with your gloss for a look that brightens and enhances without being over powering.
