This is how you can achieve the look

  • Pick a foundation colour that matches the majority of your face and neck so you can achieve an even body tone.
  • Match your shade in natural daylight which will ensure that you don’t have a ghost lit-up face when taking photos.
  • Avoid using eyeshadow colours with silver or white undertones because they tend to be a bit harsh on dark skin.
  • Use colours that are warmer and have more golden tones for a more flattering look.
  • Use a pencil or powder the same colour as your eyelashes and brows when grooming your brows.
  • Use a lip liner to change your natural lip shape. For fuller lips, use a lip liner to draw just outside your natural line. Use a neutral tone liner to make your lips appear smaller.
