When you've found that perfect African American skin care product that matches your complexion, you still have to find the right lipstick to match it. Recently, The Guardian ran an article to answer the question of what kind of bright lipstick works on women with dark skin. What they found is the more women should be reaching for the bold colors rather than hiding behind neutral shades.
The news source spoke to makeup experts to get their opinion on how to transition to a new look.
"Take the color you currently wear and try something a few shades brighter first as a stain or as a gloss, then as a full color when you're ready. Going from lip balm to brick red would terrify anyone," said make-up artist Nicola Chapman, quoted by the news provider.
Chapman said that women with dark skin can try a bright orange or red by applying a slightly darker liner on top, so you can rub it in and tone down the color if you feel it's too bright.
LoveToKnow.com reports that women should always experiment with their makeup, because there are no rules for what colors work or don't work when it comes to dark skin. The site recommended trying out red and pink shades, and blending tones together until you get the right look.
