Makeup Application Tips On Color Selection

Get makeup application tips for choosing the right colors.


makeup-color-palette When you're selecting makeup colors for black skin it's important to get it right.

You don't want to be walking around looking like an extra from MJ's 'Thriller' video! Just say no to foundation that's too light, too dark and worst of all ashy.

Black skin has more natural pigment than any other race. That means we have to be extra careful and choose colors that compliment rather than clash!

Let’s look at some makeup tips for choosing colors for any skin tone.


Makeup Application Tips on Color Selection for Black Skin


It's pretty simple to figure out the general family of colors you should lean towards when selecting your make up.

Your skin tone will generally fall under one of two categories. Here’s how you can know for sure which it is.

  • Take a long hard look at your skin and figure out whether you have red (warm) undertones or yellow (cool) undertones.
  • Ask yourself which color metal compliments your skin tone more; gold or silver? If it's gold then your skin tone is warm and if it's silver your skin tone is cool.
  • If you're one of the few people who don't predominantly have one of these two undertones and have a cross between the two you have to strike a balance of both types of makeup color groups.


Always Have Fun With Your Colors!


Once you get your concealer, foundation and powder on point, feel free to live it up and get really creative with your eye and lip colors.

Your cheek color and bronzer will generally be one or two that suit your skin and will go with everything else you choose.

  • Even when you get the colors right you can still go overboard if you try to put on too much at once.
  • The rule is to choose one feature at a time to glam up. If you want to get bold with your eyes, keep the lips neutral and if you're going with a strong lip color keep the eyes light and fresh.


Keep these makeup application tips in mind and you'll always choose the right colors to put you best face forward.
