Makeup 101: How to Apply Foundation (Dark Skin) [Video]

how to apply foundation dark skin 1

(Note: In general there isn’t that much of a difference in applying foundation on dark skin than there is on other skin tones, BUT there are some nuances such as natural discoloration, dark spots, etc. that make it a little more involved.)

So if you’re not subscribed to my recently rebooted Youtube channel, we can’t be homies…lol. I recently filmed myself doing a makeup look I’ve been doing a lot lately: neutral eyeshadow with mega lashes, bold cheeks, nude lip, and some highlight/contour action. But then I thought of how a good number of you fine folks who read this blog (thanks for reading, ya’ll!!!) are new to makeup and might benefit from it being broken down into easy to digest parts. So that’s exactly what I did. Today’s focus is on how to apply foundation. You can view the full playlist below with all the videos, but I also wanted to include some must-read posts I’ve written (some a long time ago but the info is still the same) to give you some background and 411 on foundation.
