Re: Any women of color

I am about your complexion, but a shade or two darker. I am a very big fan of sultry lips and the smokey eye. I play with numerous color families such as reds, plums, browns, golds, bronzes, oranges, purples. I have some neutrals, but I am not the biggest fan of neutrals accept for business settings. For the eyes I love navy blue, greens (various), reds, golds, browns, purples and plum eyeshadows in the creation of the smokey eye effect which is stunning for the evening. In the daytime, my look is more simple in nature with neutral shades. I am a strong fan of cream eyeliner. I am also a fan of colored mascara in shades such as purple, navy blue, green.

Re: Any women of color

I'm a 42c and I usually stick with neutrals , earthy colors and purples. Some shades of green look really nice on me but unfortunatly , I can't wear blues. On my lips I go pale pinks and berries mostly.

I'm supposedly NC42, and I wear anything I can get my hands on! Less yellows and oranges... Oh, and like neons or lime greens

Really? your skin looks darker and the shade is way prettier. Does that mean my foundation is too dark?

You go to MAC and have the MUA match your skintone with one of their foundations.

Re: Any women of color

I don't know what MAC shade I am, but I like bronze and copper for any area of my face, really. I have a ton of variations of them in eye shadows, as well as gold, different oranges, brown, taupe, etc. I'm trying to branch out more with greens and purples, since I think I look bruised in blues. I have to say though, I like a softer neutral look than I do bright, heavy ones. I have a lot of bronzers, and go for warmer, toastier shades of blush (like Alima's Geranium or Guava blushes, BE's Dusk, or MAC's Sunbasque or Margin). For lips I like sheer pinks and plums, but I don't really spend a lot of money on glosses or lipsticks, I find drugstore lip products to be just as good as department store ones. Revlon SL glosses are my faves, specially Glossy Rose and Pearl Plum.

Thank you. Do I have to buy foundation when they do this? I'm new to makeup and I'm really only comfortable with eyeliner,mascara, and gloss. Not the foundation and powder stuff.

Aquilah this is odd. I'm NC42 too and I'm lighter than you. Oh well it looks good on us. Thats what counts!!!!

Re: Any women of color

Purple, Coppery, Navy Blue, Ocean blue, brown all look fabalous on women of color. Dark pigment Magenta Blush and Peach, Apricoat, and Brown blushes all look fabalous. Lipgloss like Mac pinkarart is fabalous. Lipssticks red, nude all look good. The hardest thing is finding a foundation that looks good and matches the skin tone.

Nah , if they're really pros they wont pressure you into it . If they do you could always say you wanna try it out for the day see how long wearing it is etc and will come back if you like it .

Re: Any women of color

I'm a NC 45 and I usually wear what I'm in the mood for. My attitude changes all the time, so you never know what I might have on at any given moment. I'll wear something fun and funky to work and then at night might be soft and pretty. I"m a nut. LMAO

Re: Any women of color

No idea what I'm in MAC shade, probably NC45. I love wearing greens and blues for a night out, like humid. But if I have time and the feel for makeup during the day, then it's dark brown, orange and
greys...
