Dusky skin can be a bit tricky when it comes to makeup. Want to ace it? Read on.

We all know about Rihanna being the bronze goddess all over the world, as well as, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, who are appreciated worldwide for their “exotic” skin tone. While buying makeup, those with dusky, tanned, olive or wheatish skin tones should choose their makeup keeping these tips in mind as it makes a colossal effect on their appearance.

Moisture and SPF

Those with a dusky complexion, particularly with dryness issues or in general as well, look ashy if the skin isn’t moisturized appropriately.

• After cleansing, make sure to apply a decent moisturiser, you can use Clinique’s Moisture Surge, to keep your skin hydrated.
• Use Aqua Sunscreen from Innisfree to keep your skin healthy and protected from harmful UV.

Finding The Right Shade Of Foundation

Foundation is the most significant step of makeup as it is the base for your makeup.

• Don’t pick a foundation shade that is lighter than your skin tone, as it will make your skin look ashy.
• Search for a shade that fits you well and levels out the blemishes and marks. You can buy MAC Studio Fix Foundation, it has a number of shades that cater to mostly every skin tone.
• Abstain from using a white translucent powder as it can give your skin a greyish hint.
• Most importantly never forget your neck while wearing foundation, else your neck and face will show two distinct shades!

Concealing and Colour Correcting

• To neutralize the pigmentation under the eyes and reduce blemishes apply your concealer in the inner corners of your eyes as well as under eyes and the tip of your eyebrows.
• You can cover your dark circles and pigmentation this way.
• Colour correcting is another way to reduce flaws on your skin. Colour correct before you put on your foundation to level your skin tone and get rid of those dark circles.

THE CORRECT MAKEUP CAN MAKE A YOUNG LADY WITH A WARM SKIN TONE SHINE LIKE A GODDESS.

Choosing The Right Colour Of Blush

• For your blush, go for hues like deep orange, coral and rose.
• Try to maintain a distance from colours like beige, bright pink and peach as they won’t look good.
• Bobbi Brown Blush in the shade Clementine is one of the best blushes out there for dusky skin tone.
• Girls with darker skin tones can pick a dark rose for daytime, and shades like bronze, plum and wine for the nights.

Bronzing

A bronzer can make your skin look glowy, revived and sun-kissed. For that ideal bronze look, we recommend to go for two shades darker than your tan tone. The best option is to buy Huda Beauty’s Tantour as it acts both as a contour and bronzer.

Highlighting the right points

• There’s nothing we girls love more than a popping highlighter.
• Don’t use highlighters that are in light shades as they can make your skin look patchy and ashy.
• Apply deep golden or skin-like shades to have that perfect glow.
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish is truly the most perfect highlighter having a wide shade range unlike other highlighters.
• To give the illusion of bigger eyes, apply the highlighter in your inner corners as well as on your brow bone.
