Even the best African American skin care products can fail you if you don't understand how to properly apply them. This season, when you're trying to catch that certain someone under the mistletoe, be sure that you don't have that caked-on foundation look or the wrong color lipstick for your complexion. Recently, Minnesota's NBC affiliate KARE spoke to makeup expert Cindy Joesph about how to avoid making mistakes with your holiday makeup.
First, the expert discussed how to choose the right lipstick.
"To find a color that matches, not clashes with your skin tone, it helps to look at your gums, tongue and lips. Use a lipstick that blends with your undertones, only darker and richer. Make sure its not too glossy or matte and feels good on your lips. This a sure trick to finding lipsticks that look believable," said Joesph, quoted by the news source.
Next, Joesph said that playing up eyelashes can be a great way to enhance your look. Use the right mascara and eyeliner combo, and taking the time to separate the lashes can have a powerful effect.
Finally, Cosmopolitan Magazine suggests using a shimmery metallic eyeshadow on the inner corners of the eyes, similar to how Beyonce does it, to highlight your features at any party.
