Make Up

The Naked Truth

Most people think that make-up has to look like make up , it doesn't, it can be used as an enhancer, enhancing your natural beauty ( as seen above)

Cosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or make-up) are care substances used to enhance  the human body.

"intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions."

 Foundations

Choose a foundation, concealer and powder that work for you. If you're black, you may need a slightly darker shade for the summertime than for the winter. Avoid getting a color that is too light.

Look for bold pink and red blushes that match nicely with the naturally flushed color of your dark skin. 

Play up your heritage with your eyes. Use brown or black eyeliners for definition and mascaras and eye shadows that will complement your brown eyes. Plums, browns and burgundies work best for you. Avoid light shadow colors.

Choose plums, mauves and browns for lip colors. Avoid pinks, light colors and oranges, as they will not complement your skin tone in most cases.

Stay away from lip pencils in most cases, as you'll tend to have fuller lips alread

Define and darken your eyebrows with a brown pencil matching your natural hair color.
