Last week I posted my top 3 makeup tips for African American women. The first tip, about neutralizing hyperpigmentation seems to have created quite a stir. Several people have contacted me asking for product recommendations. So here you go…
Flash Color in 12-Orange by Makeup Forever
I have used this product
for almost 20 years and it has never let me down. I use it over blemishes and for a pop of color on sun kissed cheeks.
Imperfection Corrector (Dark) by Jafra
This is the brown skin alternative to Jafra’s compact for fair skin with correctors
in lavender, yellow and green. I created it so that women with slight hyperpigmentation can apply the orange neutralizer under foundation or layer all three shades to create a skin tone matching shades.
True Concealer by Alison Raffaele
Each of these silicone based concealers has a peachy tone that brightens the eye area.
Application tip: Apply this concealer to the concave areas under the eyes, at the inner and outer corners, and the brow bone.
