Black and green make up |
- If you have small eyes, avoid putting on too much black eye shadow around your eyes as it will only make them smaller. People with larger eyes can use black eyeshadow to reduce their size and balance with the rest of the face.
- Black make up will go with almost all colors because it is neutral. Do no however wear it with very dull colors to avoid looking dull as well. Pale browns and pale blues should be worn with more caution when using black make up. Bright pinks and reds or other screaming colors like luminous greens can balanced well with black make up.
- When wearing black make up with black clothes, you can break the monotony with some brighter jewelery or add some glitter to your make up. You can also wear sunglasses with a bright colored frame or with some glitter decorations. Alternatively, mix black eye shadow with eye liner of another color like blue, green or purple.
- If you wear eyeglasses or are planning to wear sunglasses, be very careful with your mascara. Excess mascara might end up smudging on your lenses which is unattractive. Make sure also that your eye wear is well ventilated at the nose bridge because any sweating around your eyes spoils your make up or worse, the sweat will trickle down your face with a black color.Padded sunglasses prevent sweat from trickling down your face.
- You can mix black make up with metallic make up to give more luster to your face. Bronze concealer and black eyeshadow would work out very well to give you a smooth metallic bronze finish.Remember to put the bronze under black.
