In general, people originated from sunny regions have darker skin color than people from regions of less sunlight.

The colours you wear should always gel with your skin colour, as colours compliment your skin tone. Fair skin generally carries every colour well but the need for the right combination is felt with people who have a dark complexion.

There was a time when the fashion industry was all about fair skin models but the present trend is that of dusky beauty. A colour dressed on dark complexion look is a true example of subtle beauty. This, though, is the effect only when the colour is right.

Choose a creamy or liquid foundation, but one that is not oily. Its always better to use a water based foundation. If there is a lot of yellow pigmentation in the skin, use a product that is not orange based.

A sheer foundation and a good concealer are musts for creating the illusion of perfect skin. The foundation should not be lighter than your skin tone.

Try to get one which is as close to your normal skin colour as possible. When you apply foundation and powder, your aim should be for a lighter coverage. Remember that dark skins show up layers of make-up much more than fair skins.

Special attention should be paid to blending. Adding a drop of water to the foundation before you apply it, may also help. Mix them on the back of your hand and apply it on your skin. Check the effect in daylight.

Lemon juice when applied on the skin acts as a natural bleaching agent. It can help to remove some blemishes and tan from your skin of the face. However as it is a natural remedy and unlike other chemical bleaching agents don’t expect overnight results.
