Just for You

Women of color face many challenges when it comes to selecting the right foundation down to the application of the product itself due to our unique and diverse tones. Sam Fine artist to the stars gives us some helpful tips that can be implemented to make our makeup routine more successful.


Brow Tip
Sam Fine suggests that women of darker complexion have darker brows and it is best to set the brows with powder by filling in the sparse areas with shades ranging from brown to dark espresso. The powder is used after making hair like strokes with your brow pencil to temper the color and to give it a more natural look.

The Many Uses of Makeup!

Eye shadow has so many uses, one small shadow can be used as your blush (depending on the color). It can double as an eye liner, you only have get your liner brush damp, dip then apply.It can also be used as a brow powder (matte is best). Also you can use it to color your lips. Extremely versatile.

Another great way to be versatile is to use your blush to give your lips some color. There are now many products on the market that are marketed to be used on lips, eyes and cheeks. However if you need a little dab of color just dot some on your lips and you can add a bit of gloss if you so desire.

Finding the right Bronzer!

Finding the right bronzer can be challenging if we don't know what to look for when making our selection. Here are some tips you can follow when you go to the cosmetics counter.


Tip 1
 Select a bronzer that is one or 2 shades darker than your skin tone .
Try to avoid bronzers with shimmers as the sparkles can come across as being a bit fake and can make you appear older if they clump . If you decide to go with a bronzer with shimmer make sure it has a slight sparkle.

Currently I am using Rimmel Natural Bronzer which has no shimmer and does a great job. You can find a wide cross section of bronzers from MAC to NARS.
