Too Dark
I always say complexion makeup is the
glue that holds your makeup look together; it is the anchor. No
matter how fierce your eyeshadow or winged liner, how banging your
brow game is or how gorgeous your lipstick; if your foundation is a
wreck the makeup look is done for. Correct color matching is crucial
to having the appearance of a beautiful, healthy complexion. However
have no fear, if you have foundation in your beauty arsenal that is
too dark you can still make use of it. Here are my tips on ways you
can use your foundation that maybe to dark for you.
- Contour. If you have cream to powder foundation that is too dark use it to contour (add shadows to places you want to appear farther away), this gives the effect appearing for sculpted and slimmer. You can apply this on the temples, under the cheeks and on the jawline. Be sure to blend this out thoroughly or you will have the appearance of dark lines on your face. Not acceptable!
- Bronze. For powder foundations that maybe a little too dark and if they are of a warm undertone you can use them as a bronzer. Take a big powder brush and lightly sweep the foundation over the cheeks and temples before using your blush. Doing this adds some warmth to your complexion much like if you were basking in the sun for a couple hours.
BONUS: If you read last week's article
this is probably obvious...Keep your liquid foundations that may be
a shade too dark to mix with foundations you may purchase that are
too light!
