When you are reading this post, all your white –skinned buddies must be basking under the sun in the hope of getting a tinge of dusk which you are already gifted with. Dark-skin or dusk-skin tone is the new sexy. With some care in the accessories you choose, your color gets even highlighted. So let’s see what lessons our dark celebrities have got to teach us.
Pearls do all the magic
I am not a fan of Oprah, but I like the way she uses pearls to suit her chubby face. My general observation is that most black celebrities choose to go simple with jewelry. Neat designs project you better, while the funky ones like multi-chain necklaces will only make you look shabby.
Sterling silver looks too elegant on black skin. Sterling silver dangle earrings are trendy and keep your face well-framed. The celebrity who seems to have realized this is Beyonce. Beyonce concentrates on her hair do and limits her jewelry to sterling silver hoop earrings. I could observe a pattern in her dressing. She mostly chooses white for her dress to complement her skin tone. Her earrings are mostly circular to suit her oval face.
Try to “Spread your jewelry”. Jewelry definitely looks best on dark skin. But instead of wearing only a gaudy piece of necklace or bangle, go for thin stranded chains and earrings.
Wavy Hair is the new trend
Regardless of your hair type, you can derive inspiration from Beyonce’s hairstyles. Here is a collection of the best ones. But in the final picture, she blundered by choosing a color for her hair and dress, very similar to her skin tone. If not for the stones in her dress, she would just have been one in the crowd. Black celebrities are sure to have tried the typical Afro-American hairstyle of dense curls. That is one style which never fails dark girls. Those who want a change can try neat wavy hairstyle like Beyonce’s.
Bright colors are no longer prohibited
It is an age-old myth that dark girls cannot wear colors like parrot green or yellow. Venus Williams looks gorgeous on her yellow evening gown. But you can avoid layers of different colors in your dress. Subtle colors like beige or brown look good, but avoid dresses which have the same shade as your skin. Let it be either lighter or darker.
Snakeskin bags or shoes suit you the best
It is a common belief that snake prints go well with dark skins rather than lighter ones.
Bring out your natural shine
When it comes to makeup, take Kerry Washington as your role model. Black skinned people have a natural shine in their skin which they can project with the help of body creams and foundations. Oprah sometimes stands as an example of how not to dress. Black is the new beautiful and I don’t know why even celebrities like her don’t understand. Most of her face make-ups seem to be craving to conceal the darkness of her skin. And at the end, they only leave her face with imperfect white traces here and there.
