Lately this has been an issue. Dark skin and bright makeup. Due to it not being apart of the "norm" some are uncomfortable with dark skin women wearing bright colored makeup. To my fellow beautiful women of darker skin , who cares if anyone's uncomfortable! It is a new day and age and there is nothing wrong with bright makeup on your beautiful dark hue. Don't be afraid to join the trend !

As dark skin women we have to know learn although we are never limited to any makeup even regardless of what society feels , there is also a right and wrong way to wear bright hues .Make sure even though it is bright make sure it is complementing. Don't wear a color that takes away from your natural beauty. It should only ENHANCE ;)

As you can see, this very bright pink that i have on is quite unflattering. The best way to wear bright pinks like this is to have a dark brown lip liner. Using a dark brown lip liner around a bright lip stick will tone it down to be wearable and flattering to your skin tone. Don't make this mistake ladies, lets defeat the odds but lets do it the right way :).

Flattering BRIGHT colors dark skin

"Heroine" by MAC - a vibrant purple matte lipstick, my absolute favorite MAC lipstick ($16.00)
"Magenta" by MAC- a bright deep pink liner that is both flattering to our skin but none the less stands out ($16.00)
"Think Pink" by Wet n Wild-This is actually the color I am wearing in the pictures above but with a simple brown liner ,its the perfect pink.($1.99)
"Lavender Tint"by Nicka K cosmetics- a light lilac purple that can stand on it own but is even better with a brown liner or a darker purple around it.($1.00)
"Bejeweled" by Revlon-A bright nude pink lip gloss another one of my favorites! ($6.00)
