Wearing winter makeup in warm weather is a faux pas


RX for Brown Skin for skin care for black women.

 


Once the temperatures begin to rise, you probably chuck your sweaters, scarves and boots into the closet and break out the sunglasses and sandals, but what about your makeup bag?


Matte lipstick and dramatic rosy blush can be very chic and eye-catching against a white, snowy backdrop, but when worn in balmy weather, your look may appear more than a little out of place.


As such, spring is the perfect time to update your makeup with new products for black skin.


First, know that bright eye shadow colors are not only appropriate for warm weather, but can make you stand out in a crowd. Play with jewel-toned blues, greens and yellows to see what works best on your skin.


Ditch the lipstick in favor of a light gloss or tinted balm. These are less heavy than their winter-appropriate counterparts and will accentuate your sunny glow.


On your cheeks, seek out a black skin care product with bronze shimmer to highlight your cheekbones and flatter your chocolate complexion.
