Shop for the best Bobbi Brown product for Indian skin tone

Choosing the right base or foundation is vitally important. Why wear foundation? If you have darker skin, you are more likely to have uneven skin tone and pigmentation marks. Foundation helps to even out skin tone and cover pigmentation. Here are some tips on how to pick the best foundation shade for black and brown skin.

 

Firstly, pick three colours in foundation that are the closest to your skin tone. Test these colours on your jaw line since that is the area that will give you the best idea of your skin tone. Ensure that there is no facial makeup applied and you test the foundation in natural daylight. Pick for the shade that blends in your skin well and just becomes invisible. Never test the foundation on your hands as the skin of the hands is a different shade altogether, most of the times.  Take note that the foundation shade should also go well with the tones of your chest and the neck area. You should just not look like someone wearing a mask. Dark skin toned women also have certain lighter or even darker areas on the different areas of the face. In that case you can pick a face shade from the Bobbi Brown product for Indian skin tone that best matches the majority of your face. Always go with the foundation that has yellow undertones as it is flattering for the darker skin. 

 

There are some stores of Bobbi Brown India that offer some samples and tester for foundations that can be tested at home. So, you can opt for the same when shopping for the foundation online. Do not attempt to brighten or lighten your skin by applying a lighter shade of foundation as it will make your complexion look unhealthy and unnatural. If you want to brighten your skin, apply a sheer loose powder with light-reflecting properties (If the powder is not translucent, it should be one to two shades lighter than your foundation). This method subtly brightens your complexion without altering your skin tone. The reverse also applies - do not use darker foundation to make yourself look tanned - use a matte bronzer instead.

 

As for coverage, be sure to choose a foundation with greater coverage than usual, as the Indian complexion tends to be uneven and prone to pigmentation spots. A matt finish and oil-absorbing formula is recommended as darker skin tends to produce more sebum and is oilier. One form of makeup that ticks all the boxes is mineral foundation makeup. Try that if you please.
