Indian women have the most radiant skin in the world and their soft texture with a little tan is intensely desirable. You need to know the tone of your skin and the perfect colour for your hair to flaunt your Indian Skin tone and style with natural flair.
“Beauty is skin deep” and to hold this true we need to look at ourselves and feel perfect. Having said that, the most important thing which, I believe holds true for fabulous makeup and hair is to find the accurate shade of colour that goes with your skin tone.
So, here I am with suggestions up my sleeve to cure your makeup & hair woes.
Makeup that Looks Best on Radiant Indian Skin Tones
Makeup that Looks Best on Indian Skin Tones
Makeup is a medium to achieve the illusion of perfectness. It is wise to utilize certain good things to our advantage and makeup is one of them. Women love makeup because it gives them a sense of self-confidence, respect and many other things. Indian women feel empowered by this magical medium and we recommend you to make full use of it.
Skin Care
Your skin needs to look flawless on every occasion because you are special. There are three basic rules for healthy, glowing skin and i.e. cleansing, toning and moisturising.
Tip: If you have dry skin then, apply moisturiser before the primer and if you have oily skin then, apply some ice onto your skin before the primer. For combination skin, carry out both the steps on your skin.
The Shade of Foundation
Foundation should be in sync with your original Indian skin tone. Indians generally, have a golden tint to their skin. You should always check for the brand that has shades suited for Indians. MAC in association with ace Make-up artist Mickey Contractor for example, has brought our shades fit for Indian skin. All of the foundations have a golden tint to them.
Tip: You can also mix two shades of foundation to bring out the perfect colour for your delicious skin.
