Anyone born tanned (I am here o /) knows how difficult it is to find a foundation, concealer or powder for our complexion, especially since our country is a beautiful mix and the options we have do not reflect this diversity. Anyone with black skin knows what can happen: go gray! Nooooooo!
Ideally, brands provide more options and not just light, medium and dark and provide background color, if it’s hot, if it’s cold, if it’s yellow, if it’s pink, if it’s neutral. But in this regard, we can only pray that this happens as soon as possible. We have to work with what exists and with patience, because friend, you will have to try.
- First.
- Try your look.
- In natural light.
- In front of the mirror.
- Analyze your complexion.
- What is the background color? Yellowish.
- Reddish or neutral? Most black.
- Mulatto.
- And brunette women tend to have a yellowish background.
- Like me.
- After the discovery.
- Let’s go to battle.
Test the color (base, concealer, powder) on the VISAGE. Yes, in the VISAGE, repeat with me: the VISAGE, not in the hand, neck, wrist, our skin has different tones (definitely my arm is not the color of my face, heheje). Always leave the store and try light natural, the base should disappear, the concealer should cover and the dust should be invisible.
Don’t buy by impulse and don’t get carried away by the saleswoman who aspires to the commission. Let’s say you’ll see what sustainability looks like and test in the environment, outside the air conditioning and white light of the mall.
Now a revelation: you will hardly find a color exactly the same as yours. I know, it is sad, but it is reality. It is very likely that the best option is to buy 2 or 3 shades and mix them to bring it as close as possible to your color.
There is a makeup artist who says that the foundation should be the color of the skin, there is another who says that it should be a shade above, that the concealer should be the same or a shade lighter, in my modest opinion, I think the foundation should be exactly the same as your skin tone after smearing, you can’t see a bandage has spilled you know?
The concealer I always prefer a lighter shade, I said A dye, not an inverted panda trick, because that softens the pockets and lights up the area Not sure?Apply the concealer of your complexion and in the inner corner, where dark circles are usually heavier, with a concealer minidrop a lower pitch.
But then you tried it, you ran after it, but you couldn’t tell what color it was, do what, you hit your head against the wall?
Not! When in doubt, opt for this base that has a yellowish background, because it neutralizes reddish tones and does not leave you gray. This is also true for fair-skinned girls, who instead of gray tend to turn pink when applying evil. Foundation.
It has a very nice tip to make dark skin more luminous, use a base of your complexion in the center of the face, such as the nose, the beginning of the forehead, the chin, and a darker base on the hairline , on the temple, on the jaw line, all in a very subtle and smoky way. This trick gives an impression of lightness, freshness, youth.
Remember that makeup is to enhance your beauty, it should give the impression that we wake up with a beauty like this, with a peach skin, without dark circles, makeup should show no more than you.
Take:
1. Graftobian Warm 3 Palette: Mix 2 or 3 colors to get my tone, and only use it to record in HD or to broadcast in a night event, because its coverage is powerful.
2. Studio Fix MAC Color NC42: Apply with a brush for a more natural look.
3. Cheap Intense Corrector, O Boticio: I mix the medium color with the dark color, there is also the Faces Natura line, a branch breaks.
4. Corrector Laura Mercier: this is to get married! My color is 6, great because it comes with two shades to mix and match and get the perfect color, but it’s a bit tricky, if you have fine lines, choose a more liquid one.
