Finding the right makeup can be a trial and error process, this is how we learn what works and what doesn't for us. If you don't take a chance and try a product out you will never know if it works for you or how you feel about yourself when you wear it. A great green shadow might look good against your skin but you are simply not feeling that the color reflects your personality.
Women of color face challenges in selecting colors that suit their skin tone, as there is just so much to choose from.
I recommend that you select colors that are intense and deep. For example choose deep blues, rich plums, purples, greens. Colors that are rich and have great pigment which equals to great staying power. Take a trip to the makeup counter and apply swatches of color to your hand checking to see if the color shows up strongly against your skin.
If it looks muddy, take a pass as it is a sign of poor quality.
