Do you have dark skin and would like to use cosmetics to complement your colour? Well, here are a few make-up tips you could steal:
Apply a primer on the entire face before applying foundation, so that it settles better.

Use a concealer to hide blemishes.
Using a foundation brush, apply foundation that is similar to your skin tone. Blend the foundation into your skin. Set the foundation with loose dark or translucent powder.

Apply a primer to your eyelids so that the eyeshadow stays on all day. Use shimmery eyeshadow like dark browns and copper. Avoid light colour eyeshadow because they will look unnatural. Use black or brown eyeliner and black mascara for a glamorous look.

Contour your lips with a lip pencil in warm colours. Blend the contour of your lips to gradually fade, so that the line will not be too visible. Apply a clear gloss with a matte finish.
