Thanks for sharing...I need some deep brown corrector

[lisaray101]

I wish I had eyes like that black girl, so pretty.

[roc06909]

ok but what shade was she wearing ?

[makeupdesignory]

@roc06909 Hi! It looks like Reiva used GY1 Cream Foundation. She may have also blended a litte YG3 Cream Foundation into it. You can check out mudshop.com for all our products. It really is best to get a base match in person as you can never really tell if you're exactly the same skin tone as the model because of video lighting, etc. Thanks for your interest and good luck!

[roc06909]

what color Foundation she wearing cause im the same skin color as her what kind of Foundation are you using ?

[makeupdesignory]

@roc06909 Hi! Reiva was using our MUD Cream Foundation. It can be found online at shop.mudshop.com/cream-foundat­ion. Your best bet would be to come into the MUD Shop and have one of our professional artists base match you. If you do not live anywhere near the New York or LA area, try checking our retailer guide on our website to see if there is a salon or spa that carries MUD products near you. Thanks for your interest!

[MsBeautifly3]

DOes it work for skin tones darker than hers as well?

[makeupdesignory]

@MsBeautifly3 Yes, absolutely!

[makeupdesignory]

@MsBeautifly3 Hi! The Deep Brown Corrector is for ALL skin tones. We like to create a "base tone relationship" by mixing the Deep Brown Corrector with the base to slightly tint the foundation. You can use MUD's professional make-up sponge or our #340 Foundation Brush. For a more precise application under the eye or spot correcting, we use our #930 Corrector Brush. Some people also apply the Deep Brown Corrector directly to the skin and then apply the base on top. Thanks for your question!

[MsBeautifly3]

The model is soo sooo pretty. Gorgeous, intense eyes ^.^

[STEVEMAKEUPcom]

That model has piercing eyes... Very beautiful woman. The corrector looked quite shocking vibrant at first sight but the result turned out well!

[kizzy4567]

she is beautiful

[b2ferrara]

The model's eyebrows are perfect. Is there a tutorial?

[makeupdesignory]

@b2ferrara There isn't a tutorial at the moment, but it's a great idea for future videos! Thanks for the suggestion!

[sharrismx6]

Great job, can you provide a face chart for this look? Thanks

[doctoc30]

Is she for sale????

[ThatGirlShaeXo]

Is there a video on this eye makeup? I couldn't seem to find it. It's just so beautiful I can't believe the impact it has on her eyes!

[makeupdesignory]

@ThatGirlShaeXo There isn't a video tutorial at the moment, but it's a great idea for future videos! Thanks for the suggestion!

[Snoo1809]

Gorgeous model! I just love your makeup artists, you can see how careful they are and that they have technique and they aren't just painting stuff on, it's like art backed up by technique. I can't even say how much I admire that :)

[sexykay00]

Hi - i am a black girl - my skin shade is very close to American actress Kerry Washington - what shade would you recommend for that type of skin tone? Thanks

[makeupdesignory]

@sexykay00 Well, if you also look like Kerry Washington, then you are one lucky lady! She is beautiful! I would say your best bet would be to come into the MUD Shop and have one of our professional artist’s base match you. If you do not live anywhere near the New York or LA area, try checking our retailer guide on our website to see if there is a salon or spa that carries MUD products near you.

[makeupdesignory]

@sexykay00 Just by looking at pictures of Kerry Washington, I would have to guess that she is somewhere between GY1 and GY2, however those images of her on the internet are images where she is already wearing makeup and hard to tell what her true color is. Good luck! -Reiva

[fakeality]

would this be the same as using an orange foundation in the place of the corrector? i have one that i accidentally bought.

that girl is beautiful!

[makeupdesignory]

@fakeality The idea when using the deep brown corrector or any type of bright orange foundation is to lift the dark parts out of the skin and then bring it back to neutral by applying the appropriate foundation over the entire face. This type of color correction and then foundation application radiates smooth and flawless skin. Thanks for your question! -Reiva

[pbandjapparel]

omg that is just FABULOUS

I LOVE THESE VIDS!

[rockinpoison89]

[makeupisbeauty]

I like this tip! When will MUD do a video or Workshop on FX makeup?

[LINDOCULIACAN]

gabrielle has b utiful eyes

[zmood45]

I'm not black but I need a corrector for around the mouth also, I have a medium skin colour with yellow undertone, what would you recommend??

[makeupdesignory]

@zmood45 I would recommend using our deep brown corrector mixed with either the MUD face primer to lighten the intensity of the bright orange pigment, or mix in a little bit of your foundation to neutralize the brightness. Then apply over any areas that are darker than desired. After this is done, apply your foundation all over face, and stipple over top of corrected areas. After your foundations appears to be smooth and even, lightly dust our loose powder in your shade over top to set. -Reiva

[iMsMurphy]

@makeupdesignory im guessing this would also apply to lighter skinned black women? i am very light skinned (commonly referred to as "high-yellow" lol)... i have a pic & a few videos up if ud like to see
