The talented beautician who is of the opinion that makeup for dark skin women is actually more interesting than makeup for lighter skin, had this to say about choosing shades and colours:

1. Undertone:

"Check the undertones especially in the case of foundations. You want to be sure you have the right undertone be it cool, neutral or warm."

2. Colour:

"Don’t be afraid to try colours, but as I always say, “proportion is key!” You need to know what quantity, what arc, what mix e.t.c. works for you."

3. Shade match:

"The face is to be matched with the neck. There’s a shade for everyone. If you don’t find yours, make yours. How? Mix!"

4. Skin type:

"Your skin type ( Dry, Oily or combination skin) determines how texture/ Colour is absorbed."
