3. Love the bright-eyed '60s look? Use nude eyeliner on your waterline.
While lighter skin tones can get away with plain white eyeliner, the result can look a little unnatural on brown skin. Something nudey beige on the waterline will give you the same "woken up" effect without looking too stark.

9. Make an orangey bronzer more "contour appropriate".
It's hard to find a good contour colour for brown skin, so most of us make do with blush or bronzer. But you can add a teeensy bit of grey eyeshadow to your bronzer and make your own personalised contour. A cool/grey-toned contour looks more natural.

12. Use a staining blush.
Since powder and cream blushes can blend away to nothing on deeper skin (or not show up at all), investing in a cheek stain is your best bet because of its buildability and lasting power. You can even use a lip stain on your cheeks.

13. Make your own perfect BB cream.
