The Dark Skinned Woman
The dark-skinned woman’s look is deep and defined. She has dark and defined eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows. So, she should opt for deep and rich beauty products to complement her bold look. Follow these guidelines to create a perfect canvas:
- Apply primer before applying foundation. The primer helps even out the skin tone.
- Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone nicely. Try various types before deciding on the perfect one for your skin tone. You may have to mix various shades to create the right one for your skin tone.
- Go for a really dark eye pencil and mascara to draw attention to your eye colour.You can go for a dark brown eye pencil for a more cOSMEnatural look or try an aubergine pencil for a more dramatic look.
- Use a blush or a bronzer to add some depth to your cheeks.
- Ensure your lips are well-defined with a rich lip colour.
Style Icon: Lupita Nyong’o
Our style icon for this week is the Kenyan superstar – Lupita Nyong’o. I remember Lupita from her Shuga (an African television series) days and I was pleasantly surprised to see her feature in 12 Years A Slave. She has grown into a style icon right in front of us and she is now a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry.
Lupita Nyong’o brings her A game to the red carpet every time she steps on it. I love the fact that she is a new kid on the block and the pieces she puts on are to die for. Have a look at her style below and be inspired.
What do you think of her style?
