African American Beauty Tips
Dark-Complexion
Lipstick and lipgloss colors for you.
This needs repeating, because I got ahead of myself... A pink gloss or lipstick that has a touch of gold will look gorgeous on that African American beauty with dark skin tones!!! Try to stay away from very muted colors, like a light beige by itself. Light colors look great when it is lightly applied on your lower lip after you finish your lips. Whether you choose a great matte lipstick or a very high gloss, the choice is yours.
Try them all and see what works best for your own style!!! Quick Tip: If you choose to use a pencil, be careful not to over do the lip liner. The liner should not stand out, but blended nicely with the lip color you choose. These swatches are a good starting point for you in determining what colors work.Bring a friend that will be honest with you and have fun with it!
Lighter shades the work great with darker skin tones:
Pinks with gold
Plum or purples with gold
Browns with gold
Darker shades that work well with darker skin tones:
Browns with a little red
Deep berry colors...more mauve than reds
Quick Tip: The shades depend on your personal taste……try some on and see how you look and feel!! Keep in mind… it is the whole picture that you want to focus on and not just lips or eyes.
