African American skin comes in a number of shades and tones, and each one looks different against colorful hues. This is why that fuchsia lipstick looked so fresh on your best friend, but made you look like you were trying out for the circus.
So, how do you pick the best black skin products to enhance your complexion? The first step is to determine what your undertones are.
The two most general categories are cool – characterized by a hint of blue or violet – and warm – which includes tones of red and yellow. If you're not sure which you fall under, hold different colored fabrics up to your face in a well-lit room. If a blue backdrop looks natural against your skin, you're cool. If red flatters your complexion, you're warm.
Once you've got this nailed down, go check out makeup selections and try to pick out shades that match your undertones. That fuchsia lip color may have looked bad because it's a cool tone, while you have a warm complexion. So, look for glosses or lipsticks that match the color intensity that you love, but choose a coral or a warm red. Flattering, no?
