MARY DAVIS’ BEAUTY TIPS: TOP FASHION TIPS FOR NIGERIAN WOMEN

Spread the love

Matching your clothing, makeup and hair color to
your skin tone is a very important step that many women overlook. Most skin
tones will be washed out by certain colors and enhanced by others, so it is
important to recognize this in order to look your best. Nigerian women are
luckier than most because their skin tone matches a wide range of colors and
shades, allowing much greater versatility in dressing and makeup choices. Read
on for several top fashion tips that will make you glow.

MAKEUP: Nigerian women are quite lucky in the makeup
department because many shades and styles compliment a darker complexion. One
problem area for all women is selecting a foundation that truly matches your
skin tone. This is a very important step that should not be approached
haphazardly. If you are struggling, why not ask a professional for advice? You
can find many professional beauty therapists online through free classified sites or local beauty parlors. Another possible option is to check out some
beauty tutorials like this one that will guide you to a perfect foundation
blend. Because let’s face it, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are if you
can’t hit the right beauty keys. Once your base foundation is sorted, the world
really is your oyster. If you want to go for a more natural look then a
chocolate eye shadow and a sweep of clear lip-gloss will do the trick. If you
want to brighten your complexion and focus attention on your eyes, use a
metallic bronze or gold eye shadow for illumination. If it’s Friday night and
feeling particularly daring, opt for an electric shade like metallic pink for a
dazzling contrast with your dark skin and eyes, you’ll be queen of the night!


CLOTHING: The most flattering dresses can still make you look
tired and washed out if they are not matched to your skin tone, so it is
important to consider this when making new purchases. If you are feeling bold,
pinks, yellows and oranges, whether in pastel or neon shades, will provide a
beautiful contrast with your dark skin and help to brighten your complexion. At
the same time, Nigerian women can definitely pull off darker colors like reds,
blacks and navy blues for a more demure and subtle look.
Remember that as a general rule, cool and icy shades
will wash out dark skin, so avoid greys and cool blues and greens. If you are
looking to add a bit of glamour to your look with metallic colors, opt for gold
or bronze instead of silver. The best way to check that your clothes compliment
your skin tone is to take a step back and look in the mirror. If you look
tired, sullen or unhealthy, you will probably want to rethink your color
choices.

HAIR: The general rule for Nigerian women is to keep hair
natural in color, avoiding bright blonde and shocking red shades that will
clash with your skin tone and look unnatural. If you have a cooler skin tone,
you could however lean towards ash shades; while warmer skin tones can often
pull off auburn tones. Though you should not be discouraged from
experimenting with color, learning to dress in sync with your skin tone will
make your clothes more flattering and your skin more vibrant.
