When you are so close to black, there aren't many colors on the makeup
shelf aside of black that are darker than you. You have the advantage
of being able to use contrast to accent your features in a way that lighter
skinned people don't.
So before you reach for the black eyeliner, move your hand to the side
a little, and try the navy blue instead. It will bring your eyes
out more without making them look smaller and more closed.
You can wear pink, and you can definitely wear mauve. The thing
you need to be careful of however, is coverage. Wearing a sheer pink
or mauve will look great, but an opaque pink or mauve looks clownish on
dark skin.
Let the pigment or glitter do the talking in your makeup choices. |
