If You Have A Dark Complexion | Everyday Make Up


   The key is to find a red-based foundation that is warm and not ashy - you don't want to look washed out and grey. Bobbi Brown and Iman make the best foundation options for dark skin. 
Rihanna - Dark Complexion
TOOLS: Foundation Brush, Eye Shadow Brush, Powder Brush. 

PRODUCTS: Foundation, Cream Blush, Eye Shadow, Eyeliner, Mascara, Lip Liner, Lip Gloss.

Step One: Apply your foundation evenly over your entire face.

Step Two: Smile into a mirror so you can find the apples of your cheeks and apply your cream blush with your foundation brush on the apples and along your cheekbones. 

Step Three: Wet your eye shadow brush and mix it with a light coloured (champagne) eye shadow to create a paste. Apple the shadow in an even layer over your entire lid. Try a light shimmer eye shadow for daytime looks.

Step Four: Apply your eyeliner to the top lash line. A dark metallic colour is nice such as a bolt silver or a rust. 

Step Five: Brush some mascara onto your top lashes only.

Step Six: Lightly apply light layer of powder in the same shade as your foundation. 

Step Seven: Define your lip line with a lip liner that is the same colour as your lipstick or gloss. When you're applying it, make sure to follow your natural lip line. Finish with a gloss.
