Looks for deep skin tones

Let’s be real. At some point or another, we’ve all had major make-up meltdowns after hours trying to master a look – from concealer flashbackin photos, to foundation landslides, to mattifying mishaps that leave you looking like you’re ready for Halloween. For those with deeper skintones, it can be more of a challenge to find and apply the right products, using the right technique so that they look natural and seamless. If you want to take your complexion to the next level, here are our deep skin tone make-up tips to get you there.

Natural, everyday make-up look for deep skin tones

You know that look. The off-duty model look. The just-grabbing-a-coffee look. The coveted IDGAF look.

Well, we’ll let you into a little secret – being oh-so-effortless only requires some key staples from your make-up bag. And we, for one, love to see it. So, buckle up because we’ve collated some of our top tips on how create that natural everyday make-up, no make-up look for deep skintones.

Step 1 – Less is pore

A flawless finish is only achievable if you have a flawless base. It’s rule numero uno, hun. That’s why we created our Pore Blurring Primer, which helps to diminish oiliness, mattify shine and reduce the appearance of pores for skin so smooth, you’ll think it’s magic.

Step 2 – Blemishes? Never heard of her

For skin that looks as hungover as we feel, we need concealer. But wait – before you go slathering it everywhere, the key is to use sparingly. Use our Lifeproof Concealer in only the places that need it most – we recommend directly on any blemishes, and under the eyes to brighten for a more awake appearance.

Step 3 – Peep it

Our i-Divine Eyeshadow Palette in Level Up is the perfect palette perk-me-up when you want to add a little somethin’ that’s not too extra. We’re talking a mix of matte, shimmering, foil and duo chromeshades that you can wear alone or layer up, and of course, no look is complete without some lashings of Black Utopia Mascara for that everyday, barely-there beat.

Step 4 – Sculpt like a boss

A bit of contouring never hurt nobody and adding a sweep of our Face Form Sculpting Stick into the hollows of your cheeks will get you that flawless, natural result. You can even use it to define your lips too. Finish off with a sweep of our Highlighting Palette to really make that beat bounce.

Step 5 – Gloss & go

No seriously, just sweep our Lip Volve Transforming Lip Topper in Loud ‘n’ Clear across those luscious lips of yours and you’re good to go. It’s a Sleek MakeUP bestseller for a reason…
