I know there is very little information on makeup for Indian women. Drinking lots of water and getting at least 8hrs of sleep to fight dark circles for some. But you have tried everything to get rid or reduce dark circles and it did not work...We have makeup!!!
Before you read this post . Check your wrist. Are your veins blue or green? If it is green ,then this blog will help you.
If your veins are not green don't worry!! google search " cool undertones" or "pink undertones" . You will find tons of information on it. Since majority makeup is made for your undertone!!
If you are medium/dark or medium/deep and of Indian (Asia) decent, then you have golden/yellow or neutral undertones. When you go to a makeup counter, always mention that you need a "SALMON" shade concealer every time!
Here's a list of products that worked for me
M.A.C :- Go for NC and NOT NW. NC just means that have cool undertones.
M.A.C foundations:- You can go for NC(40,42,44,45) if you are not happy then blend it with NW(30,35,40) for a perfect finish.
for M.A.C concealer:- NC 42 is for medium skin tone. Check out the pictures on my blog. If you lighter than me then go below like NC 40. If you are darker than me go for NC45.
M.A.C powder:- Medium/dark powder works!
BoingBenefit #2 :- This concelaer like the picture shown below comes with two shades.Don't use the one that comes with a lilac shade. That will just end up looking ashy/blue. Use the salmon shade. Benefit to Go Boi-ing Eye Bright Duo
L'oreal true match :-Look for" Light Medium, Neutral N4-5" if want a little darker one use "Medium Deep ,Neutral N6-7-8". These two are a great drugstore find!
Amazing cosmetics:- The much raved brand. Unfortunately they don't carry concealers for Indian skin tones.
Smashbox:- High definition concealer in "Medium/Dark". Now this is a really good one. It has medium coverage.
Keep checking my blog I will write more on concealing Indian skin tones.
