OPT FOR WARM, NATURAL TONES Whether it’s a lipstick or eyeshadow, we love neutral shades. But not all nudes are created equal. If you choose the wrong undertones, a neutral shade can go on chalk y making your makeup look gray or ashy. Instead of beige, silver and ivory tones, grab colors with gold, caramel and terracotta tones in the high gloss nudes and true melanin eye palette. As for highlighter, leaning towards metallic bronze shades, but points out that and reddishbrown hues can double as a blush. If you prefer powder formulas, try swiping on the Black Opal True Color Illuminating Powder. This powder is formulated to work with all skin tones and has a high-shine finish, but isn’t too glittery.

MATTE VS. FLAT

o one ever aspires to have oily skin, but the truth is using too many mattifying cosmetics can actually hinder your overall look instead of helping. No one’s face is completely matte allover so creating a no-shine look doesn’t make your skin appear naturally beautiful. Keep the center of your face matte using a soft Black Opal velvet finishing powder.
