The biggest secret I can share on how to achieve a minimal make up look, is always use a primer. It blurs imperfection on the skin, minimizes pores, softens fine lines, makes sure the make up stays in place all day long and gives a flawless finish. So ladies think of this as your secret weapon.
Avoid using heavy- texture foundations especially with black skin as it tends to be oilier. Alternatively use a foundation which is lightweight in texture and has a high pigment concentration. When it comes to choosing a foundation, always pick a colour that matches the majority of your face. Ladies if you want to adjust any discoloration use a lighter or darker concealer for the areas of your face that appears different. Remember to use a brush when applying foundation starting from the centre of the face working outwards, blending around the concealer and not over.
If you want to make your lips fuller use a lip liner to draw just outside your natural line. Likewise, if you want to make your lips appear less full, line them just inside the natural lip line with a darker lip pencil in a neutral tone. Finish your look with a peachy or nude colour gloss that will help to pick up the natural colour in your lips.
Never use an eye brow pencil which is darker than your brows as this can look too hard. Opt for a colour which is close to your brow colour. Remember your brows should start in line with the tip of the nose and finish at the outer corner of the eye. Eyeshadow colours with silvery undertones can be a bit harsh on black skin, so use colours which are warmer and have more golden tones for a more flattering look. For pale skin use shades with stonewash hints or cool undertones to help your skin glow.
