It is necessary to look at the undertones for the contour you want to apply. Look at the wrist; if you have green veins, it is cooler, while for blue veins, it is a warm undertone. Finding the perfect contour color is dependent on the undertone and can help to really pull the look together.
With make-up slowly easing into our daily lives and not being limited to special occasions, it can be a hard time easing into the world of makeup for a brown girl. There are a number of things you need to ensure you get that flawless face that does not look too cakey or too much overdo. Here are some tips to help you navigate the world of makeup and find the best products to suit your skin.
Primer
The first step to find the perfect primer is to determine the problem areas. Look at the pores and any texture on the skin. Generally problem areas occur near the T-zone. For the problem areas, it can be a good idea to go with a thicker, silicone based primer or a dimethicone based primer that will really fill in any pores and other bumps to create a smoother surface. Go for a lighter primer for the other parts of the face.
Foundation
It is extremely necessary to find the perfect foundation for your skin. You shouldn’t go for something that is too light or too dark. If you have a color that does not match perfectly, it is necessary to ensure you apply the foundation to all the parts of the body that is exposed or lightened or darkened with the contour and highlight colors. If you have oily skin, a matte finish or a natural finish foundation is better, while for a drier skin, you will need something that is more hydrating.
