Step1
Make sure your foundation is yellow-toned (this applies for all ethnic backgrounds).


Step2
If you are African-American, it's a good idea to have light, medium and dark shades of foundation to allow for different gradations of color on different parts of your face.


Step3
Use the right color blush so as not to look washed out. Layer natural color first, and make it "pop" with a brighter color on top.


Step4
Define your eyes with shadow, but avoid dark colors on the lid - they make the eyes recede. Add mascara, but don't overdo it.


Step5
Choose deeper or brighter colors for strong lighting. Soft lighting, or daylight, requires less intense colors.


Step6
Apply makeup that works with your style. Don't put on a lot of it for more effect, but instead use more color and a bit more definition.


Step7
Avoid dark liner, extremely glossy lips, shimmery or bright shadows, and foundation and powder that's too pale.


Step8
Use good definition - e.g., careful lining of the lips and eyes - for black-and-white photographs.
