Which is the best concealer and foundation for black people to use?

Im brown skin and i find it difficult to find my match.


Any suggestions?Which is the best concealer and foundation for black people to use?
I am a makeup artist and I hope my answer will help you, plus I have some tips here you go:





Since skin tones vary greatly among women of African descent, finding the right face makeup can be tricky. The wrong makeup can lead to an ashen or flat complexion, but with a little insight and a lot of experimentation, you can minimize the guesswork and put your best face forward.





Steps:





1. Look beyond your skin's color and examine its undertones. Rich ebony complexions usually have cool, almost blue undertones, while brown and caramel complexions have warm golden undertones.





2. Choose from shades that appear to be in your color range and may complement your complexion's undertones. Remember that foundation will look different on your skin than it does in a bottle or on a thumbnail palette.





3. Consider lines that specialize in black beauty products for the widest color selection. Always try foundation on your jawline or the inside of your wrist to get the best idea of a color match.





4. Set your makeup with a loose translucent powder. If you're blessed with a flawless even complexion, skip the foundation and opt for a tinted moisturizer or tinted powder over bare skin.





5. Contour your cheekbones with a sweep of blush. Plums, currants and mauves will flatter a medium to dark complexion. Caramel, honey and apricot will complement a medium to light complexion.








Tips:





Bronzer is an alternative to blush for those with a warmer complexion. Dust a light coating over the face, contouring at temples and cheekbones.





When faced with uneven skin pigment, consult a beauty expert for suggestions on a foundation that will even out your skin tone. You may be a candidate for two colors, that when spread over the right areas, will render the uniform look you desire.





Think about your skin type when selecting a face makeup. Oilier skins do better with water-based liquid foundations and cream blush, while drier skins benefit from cream formulas.








Warnings:





Testers in drug stores may not be sterile. Buy with a store guarantee: if the color is not right, then the item is returnable.








I love to use MAC even though its expensive, but you can use anything Almay, Loreal True Match, Covergirl, Maybelline, and so on.





Hope that helps.Which is the best concealer and foundation for black people to use?
loreal true match
I feel your pain, I am honey skinned. I use Zuri. It is so much cheaper than the rest that I have used but it matches our skin wonderfully. There is also the oldies like posner, black radiance, Cover Girl (shades of u). I live and breathe Zuri though
Go to the nearest Estee' Lauder counter. They have it all!
go to MAC and they have professionals there to find the right make up for you..I'm black too but i have light skin and i found my make up there
I use Mary Kay. I'm a little bit lighter, but my friends that have a darker complexion use it also. One of them had to mix two different shades to get her exact match, though. To find a consultant in your area go to http://www.marykay.com
Mary Kay is a really good a consultant will help you fine your shade to... Its kinda expensive though ( but wonderful makeup)
Loreal has a range of skin tones...........Check it out!
I would also suggest the MAC cosmetic line. Go in for a free makeover.
maybelline mousse or cover girl have loads of darker shades and try benefit cosmetics too.
I'm a chocolate tone myself.. I use a few diffrent foundations... Right now i'm into loreal true match liquid foundation. The coverage is really good and goes on evenly. It's light and not like pancake batter on the face.





I also use MAC studio fix.. they have great colors for brown skin.
