Skin Darkening Contouring Technique

from makeup

Although this completely disregards the cultural desire for lighter skin, I love creating beautiful golden skin. Especially when you live in warmer areas or like outdoor activities. Many times using sunscreen can cause your face to be several shades lighter than your body. In such cases use this as your guide to darken your face while still looking natural.

To darken skin, mix the highlight and contour colors on the neck (use the color of your chest as a guide). Then use the contour color on the outside of the face and highlight colors in the center of the face. If your chest is much darker than your neck, don't mix the colors on the neck; instead, apply only the contour color (chest color) and continue contouring the face.
