2 – The Right Shade for Foundation
Most of the makeup artist in London advice women to get a foundation that covers their undertones. Usually, dark women prefer to go for a lighter shade. But lighter shades do not blend well with your skin which results in the cakey foundation look. Cutify suggests that if you want this glossy and brighter look, then use a concealer or lighter shades at the center. But try to cover the rest of the face with your natural shade foundation. If you are one of those people who have difficulty selecting the right shade, then we have a rule of thumb for you. Test foundation shade on your neck instead of hands. If you have already bought a lighter shade, then mix it with some darker color to utilize it.
3 – Sunscreen
Most women have the misconception that dark color is not affected by the UV rays of the sun. But actually, it is the other way around. Because dark color is affected more by sunlight but in different ways. Roaming around in the sun results in patchy and uneven skin tone. So make sure to apply sunscreen before going into the sun. Use tinted sunscreens instead of sheer sunscreens. Never use any cheap sunscreens as you cannot afford to mess up with your face. Moreover, cheap and low-quality products mostly do more harm than good.

4 – Prime and prep your eyes:
One of the biggest mistakes done by most black women is that they forgot to prime their eyes. Any vibrant colored eye shadow is not going to rock your look unless you have primed your eyes. Apply a primer or concealer on your eyelids, instead of jumping directly into eye-shades. Even if you are choosing not to apply eye shadow. Cover your under-eye area with light or natural concealer. In order to give your face a more glow look, you can use gel eye-shades. These gel eye-shades give ‘no makeup look’ glow on your eyes. Leaving eyes out of your regular makeup routine makes you look dull and boring. Avoid using eyeliner for daily use, as it is too mainstream.
Metallic and nude colors have changed the whole scene of the beauty industry. Just apply a little nude or metallic eye-shades to your eyelids if you are in a hurry. You are good to go.
5 – Mascara and liner

Move the wand to and fro at the base while applying mascara in order to give a more extensive look to your eyes lashes. Apply liner at the wing instead of using it in the inner corner of the eyes.
