Makeup for Ethnic Skin Tones
Please post your favorite cosmetic lines and color for ethinic skin tones.
I am currently using Mary Kay cosmetics. They have a lot of flattering,
classic colors for women of every skin tone. I recommend them highly. My
co-worker is a representative and I am trying to support her in this
endeavor. Their skin care is good too
-I am using BeautiControl and I love it alot. I
have a MK(Mary Kay) package coming in the mail soon I can't wait to try
thier foundations I have heard so many good things about it.
As far as skin care goes...... I use Yves Rocher I love this line it is
all natural and has great prices when you order you get alot of FREE gifts
and samples and I know we all like that. They also have a wonderful bath
line and body oils.
-I like MAC, especially for their wide range of lipstick colors. I'd satyu
away from Clinique - I am a "dark" in their coverup and I'm about as
"high yella" as they come. Don't think they're thinking too much about
women of color when they make their products. Maybe they've changed in
the past year, I don't know. My mom likes Mary Kay and Revlon (Shades of
you I think). She's Ebony in Revlon.
