Makeup Tips For Dusky Complexion  

1.Foundation: Use a liquid or cream-based foundation for a perfect finishing.  Select a foundation  that is very close to your actual skin tone. It will help to even out your skin tone.  Avoid heavy foundation, as dark skin will exaggerate even light shades.

2.Powder: Do not take a chance by skipping powder if you have a dusky skin. If your skin tends to be more oily, apply a translucent powder  with  a large powder brush.

3.Blusher:  Prefer light, soft colours for your blush. Rose, deep orange and coral blushes will be a great choice. If you feel that your blush in not showing out, use a cream based blush beneath it.

4.Lip colours: Avoid pale colours as it will not match your dusky complexion. Choose shades like burgundy, wine, brown, red and plum. Apply lip gloss over it to add an extra shine.

5.Eye shadow: Unlike fair skinned women, dusky skinned women can select from a wide range of eye shadow colours. Bronze, copper, brown or navy blue will be a perfect match. Try a metallic golden shade along with a dark base colour for your eye shadow and see how appealing it will be.

6.Eyebrows: Make sure your eyebrows are in shape. An eyebrow with good shape will be an added advantage to enhance your eyes. Try to keep your eyebrows thin if you are one with dusky complexion.

7.Eyeliners: It will be better to avoid kajal. Black or blue eyeliner will be a good selection for dusky skin colour. Thick lines will make your eyes more attractive and highlighted.

8.Nail polish:  It is a misconception that dark colours will not suit for dusky skin, at least in the case of nail polish. Use colours like purple, shiny bronze, forest green, etc. as this will match to your dusky skin tone.

9.Hair colour: For hair colour also follow the same dark shade rule. Burgundy, cherry, or garnet will suit your dusky complexion as a base colour or a highlight colour.

10.Costume: A monochromatic or single-toned look will absolutely suit for a dusky complexion. Unlike makeup, light colours are preferred when it comes to what you wear. But, remember nothing will beat the radiance of white on a dusky skin.
