brown skin beauty products - #15105

Sai

I am starting to feel really overwhelmed trying to find the right brown skin beauty products. For a while now I've been using the same old stuff, but lately, I feel like none of them really work for my skin tone. I have a medium brown complexion, and I've noticed that a lot of beauty products just don't look the same on me as they do on the models or influencers. Like, I tried a popular foundation the other day, and instead of looking flawless, I ended up looking grayish. It was sooo frustrating! 😩 I mean, I've googled and searched for brown skin beauty products, but every time I think I found something, it just doesn't blend well or match my undertones. I also don't want to just settle for anything, you know? I want to look glowing and vibrant without spending a fortune. Are there specific brands or types of brown skin beauty products that you guys recommend? Also, how do I even figure out what my undertones are? I feel stuck in this never-ending cycle of trial and error. Any tips, product suggestions or experiences would really help. Like, I just want to feel confident in my skin and look my best!

Finding the right beauty products for brown skin can indeed be tricky, especially with the diversity in undertones. When it comes to your foundation appearing grayish, that could be an indication of either the wrong undertone or the wrong shade. To identify your undertone, you can try a simple test by looking at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you probably have cool undertones, while green suggests warm undertones. If you see both colors, you might have a neutral undertone. This can guide you in selecting foundation and other products. For brands, there are several that have been recognized for offering a wide range of shades that cater well to brown skin. Fenty Beauty, for example, has been praised for its extensive shade range and undertones variety. NARS and MAC are also known for their inclusivity and good quality products. However, always remember to test products if possible, either through in-store samples or purchasing from a place with a good return policy. When you’re working with products for brown skin, look for terms like ā€œwarm,ā€ ā€œgolden,ā€ or ā€œneutralā€ if they match your undertones. Beyond foundation, don’t forget other products like highlighters and blushes; these too should complement your skin undertones. For a glowing look, opt for bronzer and highlighter shades that add warmth and radiance. Texture-wise, lightweight foundations or tint moisturizers can provide a natural finish without being too heavy. Lastly, stay hydrated and maintain a good skincare routine; a healthy skin barrier helps all makeup appear better.
