African American Beauty Tips
Light-Complexion

This section is specifically designed for you!! Whether you have dry skin, oily skin or combination skin with an active T-Zone shine, you will find everything you need to know about choosing colors for you.

Some great news is that cosmetic companies have come a long way in adjusting to the growing needs of a more diverse market.

Truth be told!!

Not all light complexions are created equal.

Some are more yellow, beige, or olive.




There are occasions where blending more than one color works best for the perfect match. You are probably thinking, “That is a lot of work to match my skin!” In reality, most of us probably need to blend colors together. Just take a look at your face, there is probably more than one tone in your skin.



To make it easier to follow, we have broken this page down into these four sections. Just click on one of these links, to scroll down to your topic of interest:


Within these sections, you will be able to link to:

    * Views of actual color swatches that, in general, go well with your skin tone.

    * Videos that will allow you to see "how to apply makeup".

    * Products and textures that go well with oily or dry skin.

    * The proper "makeup tools" that are out there for you.


Hope you enjoy some of these African American beauty tips for lighter compexion!!!


Foundation Beauty Tips

The key with foundation is to find colors that are your skin’s true undertones. There are many shades of light browns on the market. Look and see if it is more beige or yellow.

If you have more yellow or olive tones in your skin, using a beige foundation will not be the best match. Try using a little of both yellow and beige tones if you don’t know where to begin.

Just have fun trying things!!!

Think of it like when you were in school playing with water colors, how fun it was to mix all the colors together!!!

Eye Beauty Tips

Before we get into everything you've heard about from smokey eyes to eyeshadow colors, one essential part of your eyes has to be talked about.

The Eyebrow


Eyebrows frame your face and make you look flawless when done correctly. Long gone are the days of over tweezing and the over exaggerated arch. There are so many great tools on the market to help you get that perfect brow that is right for your face. Not all brows are alike, depending on the structure of the face, comes the arch and shape.

Try Anastasia’s Brow Kit to start your new look. Or you can get your brows professionally taken care of at your local spa for your initial shape.

You will be so thrilled you did!!!

Lips Beauty Tips

The possibilities are endless!! That is the fun part. From just wearing your favorite lip pencil blended with Rosebud Salve to all the colors and glosses in between.

When choosing colors, I find it best when shades have some gold in them. Like a pink or peach gloss or lipstick that has a touch of gold will look gorgeous on light skin tones!!!

I'm getting ahead of myself :-)
