It takes a dark, chocolate-y complexion to pull off apricot makeup in a high fashion manner. If you've got it, flaunt it. One sweep of pale apricot eye shadow and a layer of lavender lipstick or peach and you're worthy of your own runway. Try on the best makeup for African American skin in our virtual makeup studio.
If you are an African American woman with dark skin , think fruity juicy makeup colors. Strawberry. Mango. Kiwi. One statement-making color, applied allover the lid, can take your look from ho-hum to va-voom in an instant, especially if you play up your lashes with a set of individual falsies, applied at the outer corners of each eye. If you have dark lips, break away from deep, brownish hues. A light apricot or peach lip color looks fresh and kissable. Lilac lips are also visually arresting if the color is sheer, not frosted. --Stephanie Simons
