11 Makeup Tricks for Dark Skin (3 of 6)

Find a matching matte powder

Matte powders are one of the best things you can go with for dark skin. A translucent powder can sometimes show up with a white or washed out undertone. The right powder will give you the perfect glow.

Balance out the matte

Matte is the best for dark skin, but you don’t want to go too matte because this can give rise to a cakey appearance. It can also add age to your face, which none of us want. A liquid or cream foundation is a great choice for good blending.
