The Budget Fashionista

Other brands that carry foundations for darker skin tones are:
Make-Up Forever
Laura Mercier
Vincent Longo
Cover FX
Clinique
Clarins

All can be found at Sephora.  The on in South Beach Miami has a woman of color who can match anyone.  I have acne scars and she found a combination of foundation, concealer and powder that make me look like model.

I swear by Bobbi Brown’s foundation stick (Almond #7). I was introduced to it by a makeup artist in a Nordstrom store seven years ago and I wear nothing else. Moreover, I get lots of compliments re: how nice/clear my skin is when I know better! It is definitely the BB product....not inexpensive but worth every penny.

Wow this is great advice. Before I went to nursing schl a few years ago, I was a volunteer for Dress for Success. We always had trouble finding makeup shades for our clients if they were women of color. I’ll pass this on to the DFS staffers I still know over there. Margaret

Oh my goodness...how on EARTH could anyone have left out MAC?! This has GOT to be the most reasonably priced “high end” makeup line with quality that is unsurpassed to boot. Their color range is incredible and quality impeccable. Especially the darker colors...very natural looking foundations. They get it right.

If you are in the LA area, check out HIP at the Loreal store at the Beverly Center.  All of the makeup from foundation to eye shadows are amazing on dark skin.  I love it!
