Good Makeup for Dark Skin

12

I've been using makeup for a while. I don't do anything too fancy, but i now want use it more & get better at using it. I want to know what are some good brands and products for dark skin. The foundation i use now is MAC studio fix nw45. So far its pretty good but i am open for suggestions for new foundation. I also want to try the sleek contour kit dark.

I think that Makeup Forever goes quite dark and tbh beside foundation you can use any kind of makeup its just knowing how to use it tbh

In MAC I'm NC45/50. I've had success with Bobbi Brown foundation. I use her liquid formula (oil free version) in the summer and her foundation stick during the winter. I also discovered Smashbox BB cream. Contouring I know nothing about whatsoever. The most important thing being a WOC is knowing what your undertone is....I have yellow undertones in my skin so there are some brands that I just can't use because they turn orange on my skin. Hope this helps. :)

I'm an NC44-45 in Mac. I recently just tried out Lancome's new Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation and I loved it. They've got shades for every skin tone.

I'm a fan of powder mineral foundation and love Meow Cosmetics (I'm NC45 as well). I like Guerlain's bronzer to contour, but also like using a foundation that is a few shades darker.

Thanks yall for the help!

try Bobbi Brown. they have amazing colors for olive/warm undertone skin

I would say Bobbi Brown they have a really good range and also if possible Sleek, they have like 30 shades which is amazing, and I'm yet to come across a person who cant find their shade in Sleek

You should look at Bobbi Brown, Makeup Forever, Iman (a little old school but still great) as well as a company called Naccara, which is a newer company specifically catered to Women of Color and caters to a spectrum of undertones, which is awesome because most drugstore colors for dark skin girls are either too yellow or pink or non- existent. I've only seen Nacarra in select Shopper Drug Marts in Canada so it may be hard to get your hands on. All the companies previously mentioned are great!

Fashion Fair is a line just for women of color, they have amazing cream to powder foundation, sticks and liquid...work wonders for me and even my darker skinned clients.

I use the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation in Caramel Dark,but like Shinay W. said Fashion Fair is an amazing line for WOC. I am the shade Brown Sugar in their stick foundation. But for drugstore I like the Revlon ColorStay, my summer shade is Cappuchino. Look at Iman and the CoverGirl Queen Collection at the drugstore for more drugstore friendly products for WOC.

I just wrote a post on foundation for woman of color...hope this helps =)

Becca. Try it! For WOC it is the business! I wouldn't use Maybelline or Cover Girl. I'm not even too hyped up about Iman, Bobbi Brown or Fashion Fair either.
