Beauty brands used to make products that catered to a narrow margin of skin tones and colors. Luckily, since more than half of the country doesn’ t fall into the fair-medium camp, that’s slowly starting to change.
Much-loved luxe lines are expanding their shade ranges to include deeper tones and are releasing new products with a more diverse customer base in mind (to which we say it’s about time). Now, women with darker complexions have a wider variety of concealers and foundations to choose from, as well as high-pigment lipsticks and creamy blushes that pop against their skin tones. With that in mind, we’ve compiled 10 makeup brands that are totally killing it in the color, pigment, and finish department, specifically for women with darker skin. These brands have been vouched for by Hollywood makeup artists (e.g.
Lupita Nyongo’s go-to guy, Nick Barose) and raved about by real women. In other words, if you’re sick of trying and ditching makeup that doesn’t work for your skin tone, this might be a good place to start anew. Keep scrolling for the 10 best makeup brands for dark skin tones. Iman Cosmetics makes this list because 1) Iman is a goddess, and we trust anything she creates, and 2) the products are really that good. They're all created with medium to dark skin tones in mind, but lest you assume that limits your options, think again. The line is most popular for its mineral-based foundations, like the one pictured above, which sinks in instantly for a sheer finish, as well as genius skincare-makeup hybrids, like the Under Cover Agent Oil Control. Oh, and the drugstore price tag doesn’t hurt. Cover FX is a newer brand, created with the intention of delivering a natural-looking finish for all skin tones.
Its hero product is the ($44), which you can add to moisturizer, tinted moisturizer, and even sunscreen to make a shade and coverage that’s perfectly suited for your unique skin tone. The ($48) is another favorite, with two different quads suited for medium to deep skin tones—one for golden undertones and one for neutral undertones. If all that didn't sound great enough, the line now boasts 40 diverse shades.
I I loved when makeup artists used it on me, but whenever I tried to use it on myself I would freak myself out. There definitely is such a thing as too much blush, and when you see it, it’s undeniable. Growing up around Aunty (name redacted) laid the foundation for my fear. She wore her blush in two thick stripes like war paint. It took a little bravery and a lot of trial and error to figure out how to use blush and bronzer, but once I did there was no looking back.
Now my look feels incomplete if I’m not wearing a beautiful blush on my cheeks. I love a peachy pinky gold blush on myself most of all, and I’m learning to work with bolder blushes and deeper bronzers. For an ultimate guide to which blushes would best compliment brown skin and dark skin tones, I reached out to my MAC insider and go-to.
She did such a great job with the, I had to ask for her top picks for blushes for her kit, and for every woman of color who wants beautiful blush on the apples of her cheeks. These are her best blush selections for dark skin tones, from brands like MAC and NARS. Take it away, Nicole!
