How to apply makeup to dark skin?

I know there are a lot of the - 'how to apply makeup' questions, but the answers only seem to have the shades. I am black, so I use colors like black, bronze, gold and red.





Can you please tell me how to put on eye makeup, for different effects? And what other colours might suit me?

Foundation and Blush


In some cases, makeup itself can be protective. Many foundations come with sunscreen, but some people prefer it plain and simple. Either way, foundation can be a nice layer between your skin and the pollution, pollen, and other irritants outside.


You should choose a foundation that not only matches the lightness or darkness of your skin, but its undertones as well. When people talk about whether someone has cool or warm color, or whether they are a winter or summer color, they are talking about which range of colors works best with the person's undertones, not just how dark or light brown it is.








What this means specifically for women of color is that even though almost all of us, by virtue of being brown, have some yellow in our skin color, some of us have more red or bluish undertones overriding the yellow, and some of us have a more bronze or golden undertone. Some people even look a bit greenish in the right light.
