Recommendations For Text On African-american Make-up Techniques And Skin Care?
I have never been very into make-up or application techniques, but i would like to develop some skills. can anyone recommend a book, products for darker skinned african-american women, and/or skin care techniques for oily skin? I know the basics…wash in the am and pm, tone or astringent, moisturize…but i am looking for recommendations of product lines or products ingredients to look for or avoid.
Here are some wonderful books that you may want to check out:
Fine Beauty- Sam Fine
The Beauty of Color- Iman
Making Faces-Kevyn Aucoin
The African American Woman’s Guide to Sucessful Makeup and Skincare-Alfred Fornay
I am a dark-skinned African American Woman with oily, acne-prone skin. Here are my recommendations:
The makeup lines that I recommend are:
MAC
Mary Kay
NYX

The skincare lines I recommend are:
ProActiv
Neutrogena

Clinique

I hope this has given you a starting point!
Iman has a book called Beauty of Color: The Ultimate Beauty Guide for Skin of Color, it’s sold at Barnes & Noble.

I went to amazon.com to see if they had any good books – there is one user named “divastate” and she has created a list of books specifically geared to african-american skin.
The list has 23 books on makeup and skincare.
Each book has reviews written by readers, so I think this may be really helpful to you.
