Spring / Autumn-Dark Skin

You have warm skin tones, with a golden or honey tone and make-up that echoes these tones will make you look healthy and alive. Avoid blue-based cosmetics that could make you look rather grey and drawn!

Choose the right Shades for the type of skin tone you have:

Skin Tone Type	Light	Light- Medium	Medium- Dark	Dark
Liquid Foundation
Summer / Winter	Pink Blush	Rose Glaze	Pink Beige	Winter Rose Natural
Spring / Autumn	Ivory	Ivory Beige	Natural Beige	Natural Beige Natural
Liquid Concealer	Light	Light	Medium	Medium
Loose Powder	Translucent	Translucent	Translucent	Translucent
Pressed Powder	Translucent	Translucent	Translucent	Translucent

Ivory, Ivory Beige, and Natural Beige foundations have a definite warm tone to them

Pink Beige, Pink Blush, Rose Glaze and Winter Rose are for cooler skin tones

Natural foundation is a bit of an enigma. It looks great on its own on a darker complexion and suits both warm and cool skins but, when mixed with any of the other 7 shades, it adds a sparkle to your face - especially good for party time. Liquid concealer can be applied before or after your foundation. Translucent powder will 'set' your make-up.It will last longer and will not add any color to what's already there. Apply loose powder with a large brush. Pressed powder comes with its own powder pad.

Choose the right color blusher for dark skin
For your blush, you should choose colors from coral, rose, deep orange. Avoid browns for blush-on. For very dark skin, try a dark rose pink color for the day and shades of bronze, plum and wine for the night. Blend the blusher over the cheekbones, as it helps to brighten the skin tone. For special occasions at night, use a touch of gold. It can really look glamorous on dark skins.
