Makeup tricks to enhance your dusky skin
Dusky skin, a common complexion among Indians is a slightly darker skin tone than wheatish but lighter than black-brown skin tone. Dusky skin radiates a unique warmth and depth, offering a canvas for creativity and self-expression. Although applying makeup to darker skin tones can be tricky, with the correct skill, you can make your dusky skin look gorgeous and alluring. Here's how.
Get glowing skin
A healthy and prepared canvas, or skin, is the foundation of perfect appearance. To cleanse your skin, use a nutritious moisturizer after using a mild cleanser that doesn't remove your skin's natural moisture. Dry skin can make you appear ashy and gloomy, especially if you have dark complexion. Additionally make sure to exfoliate regularly to wade away the dead skin cells.
Highlight your eyes
Typically, dusky women have brows and eyes that are deep black. Draw attention to your eyes. Experiment with colors such as green, burgundy, copper, and gold. Dark metallic hues look fantastic on darker skin. Make use of blue and green eyeliners. You can also apply a bit of white eyeliner to your eyes if you like to get creative.
Choose radiant blush tones
Not only does blush give your cheeks a healthy pop of color, but also further defines your facial contours. Select blush tones that give your cheeks a healthy glow. Go for earthy tones to enhance your complexions naturally. Pick a rich shade of burgundy, mauve, or orange, then apply it on the apples of your cheeks working your way out to your temples.
Go for warm highlighters
Warm and shimmery tones of highlighters work best on dusky skin. Stick to champagne and golden highlighters to achieve the ideal amount of shine on the high points of your face. Highlighters with white or silver tones won't go well with your skin tone. For a natural dewy look, use a golden or champagne liquid highlighter over your face before starting with your foundation.
Opt for bold lip colors
Select lip colors that are dark and rich, ideally in shades of pink and red. Tones such as plum, maroon, burgundy, and berry complement the dusky skin beautifully. Refrain from wearing vivid lip colors like orange and neons. Select a nude shade that complements your skin tone if you enjoy wearing them. Your face may appear washed out if the shade is too light.
