How To Apply Makeup
For example, there are 10 shades of a plum lipstick, to complement the fairest skin to the darkest skin, Wilson said. And, she said, the packaging for a new collection of lip glosses features women of different races.

Sweep the darker color across your eyelid crease, just under the brow bone. Stop application around the center of your eyelid, as you don’t want to darken the inner corners.
But you need a solid, ahem, foundation for the rest of your makeup to look naturally flawless. Beauty brands are finally realizing that a handful of makeup shades don’t work for a wide range of skin tones, and we’re starting to see the market open up to be more shade inclusive. Still, with increasing color options, there’s a good chance you might be using the wrong one.
Warm undertones feature golden, yellowed, honeyed or peachy tones, while cool undertones include hints of red, blue or chocolate-hued colors. You have a neutral undertone if your skin has no apparent warm, pink or blue undertones, making it appear more balanced. Despite what may appear on celebrities or online influencers, no one has perfect skin all the time. This is where the magic of foundation comes in - the right foundation can help smooth over any flaws and create a natural canvas for the rest of your makeup. Use a foundation shade finder to help identify the shade of your skin and the undertones beneath your natural shade.
When it comes to foundation, finding the perfect shade for your skin is priority number one. The right shade of foundation can make all the difference. After applying, if the foundation disappears without any sort of blending, you’ve found your true match. This may take a bit of trial and error, but taking the time to pick the right shade is crucial.
Apply it sparingly, then set it with a light layer of translucent powder. After you are color matched, it’s time to apply the foundation. This is an art unto itself, but it’s easy to do once you know how. First, apply the foundation - whether liquid or stick - deep dark skin across your face in broad strokes. Then, beginning in the center of your face and working outwards, buff the product into your skin stroking in circular motions with a foundation brush.
