SO GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER DARK HUE SISTA'....!.....I HAVE A NEW SITE HERE ON YOUTUBE (DARKNLOVELY)....IT IS FOR EVERYBODY ESPECIALLY OLDER WOMEN...I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO CHECK ME OUT AND SUBSCRIBE!...PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND SUBSCRIBE!
Thanks. I will only use the concealer on the lids if it is a special occasion. I break out when I do that with pimples on my eyelids. Is there a reason why this happens?
@badassredd1 it cud possibly be the lighting but also the make-up wud have dun that. i think they might hav been tryin to give her a brighter, more radient look. i personally think it looks really nice. im dark in complexion too and find wen i apply make up im a little lighter but most importantly my skin tone is even.
@badassredd1, I noticed too but it was the one that matched her skin the most. Plus her face is darker than her neck and chest so now she looks more uniform.
This video is an example of the fact that all women are beautiful. There are so many different kinds of women in the world and we are all very beautiful!!
After watching this video a few hours ago i went straight to target and purchased it. I must say i LOVE these products. i spent 75 dollars total and it was well worth it. i brought:
Iman Second To None Cover Cream (Concealer) Earth Medium $12.99
Iman Second To None Cream To Powder Foundation (Earth 5) $14.99 each (i got 2)
Iman Time Control Undercover Agent Primer $15.99
A foundation Brush $6.99
Pack of Wedge Applicators $1.79
(This is the first time i've purchased makeup & not return it)
I LOVE THIS VIDEO and what a BEAUTIFUL model!!! I am never able to find makeup with the correct shade for my chocolate skin. (See my video to see EXACTLY what I'm talking about)! I would love to know if you ever send samples out. I know that where I live, we don't have the Iman shades (earth 6), that I would need. We no longer have her Black/African American shades. :-( Sad, I know. But I would love to see if my makeup would finally turn out correct if I tried it. Thanks a lot!

is it me or did she look brighter in the after shot....and different.....?
i think shes wearing shadow and blush...and i know for a fact she wear mascara and lipgloss maybe some lipstick...but idk it could just be me......juss call me a non believer
@cashmerekc hahah i see what your saying but even if she is wearing makeup before. the people who actually have those problems it works for them right?
@cashmerekc I agree that she looked brighter in the after shot. At the end of applying the makeup, her face was darker than her neck. In the after shot, face and neck matched. Maybe they used a lot more lighting? idk either
I knew it i've been wearing the wrong color. No wonder anytime i wear my makeup, i always appear darker. If she's earth 6 then i need to go change my foundation
To think i've been using the darkest of the Maybelline Mineral liquid foundation (cocoa dark 3) thinking that was the only foundation i could find closest to my skin complexion! (which is exactly the same complexion as the model).. I will be picking up some Iman in Earth 5 this week. Can't wait to try it!
I have a dark skin tone and it's always a pain in the you know what to try to find makeup suitable for me. I also have oily skin so I come out really shiny in pictures. I think this was a very informative video but I'm not quite sure if the makeup is right for me.
@ericaj58 Um yes i know this. This is a message i too have been trying to get out. I think u misunderstood me. 'At last. A woman that is actually dark skinned. Beautiful.' What i meant by this is that normally when i type in 'makeup for dark skin' I dont really see many representatives of true dark skinned women like this one in the video..as if they dont exist. So i was just happy to see a makeup tutorial on a beautiful deep skinned woman.
her after looks really good, normally when i see before and afters the skin looks better before they apply the make up but she looks natural and radiant...
I agree with lovestone1993- the model did look better before, i like her natural look, her skin has nice glow to it. I dont wear much makeup, makes me look older/different person LOL. I get much compliment on my skin en in the winter seasons.
what a beautiful girl! but i can't get wit IMAN lol i tried it before and it just makes me look like a brick lol i have a really hard skin tone to match haha. and i think she looked great in her after shot =)
some one please help where can i find these foundations i live in England and i don't even know where 2 start looking for these foundations coz i've tried everywhere i could.
You could get IMAN cosmetics from Debenhams, not all Debenhams sell IMAN but try going to your nearest one if not go on the IMAN website and go on the store locator to find where is available..xx
she is the exact same skin color as me. she is so beautiful. this video really helped me because sometimes I have trouble finding the right concealer. it made her skin look so rich and even.
she dark BUT , BUT she beutiful ,you make it sound as if being dark itself is ugly,i dot see why her being dark and beutiful at the same time is a shock
I need earth 5 but they don't sell iman by me. I have to get a target gift card to buy it from the target website. it's $15 plus shipping. My only concern is that i have RED/orange tinge to my skin and i'm wondering if it will match okay....
I love her skin's richness. I'm black but my skin has more of a redish undertone. Its very clay like but its dark, I've been told its exactly the color of Hershey's chocolate. Sounds like a good thing but finding a dark foundation that has a red undertone is hard; they seem to have more of a coffee appearance and end up being too dark. What about all the redish dark girls, true chocolates? I guess I'll have to settle for having like 3 foundations and 2 concealers to even out my skin tone.
Have tried Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 180? The color is described as dark with peach under tones. It is a god send for me as I also have red under tones. You can go to Sephora online or in the store to check it out and see if would be a good option for you.
i've been using iman foundation stick and i love it, she has so many shades and it doesnt break me out (i have oily skin)- my skin actually feels healthier. I WISH SHE WOULD POST MORE VIDEOS
Hey mschelly17 I have oily skin to and I find that after a while of wearing make up it starts to look unbelievably shiny. It's really bad actually. What would you suggest if anything or how do you combat it?
my skin does the same thing, some methods i use to combat this include using smashbox makeup primer (light) all over and a mattifying gel(peterthomasroth) on my nose. your skin may still appear to be a little shiny after a few hours but you shouldn't look like an oil pan or have that greaseslick effect
I have oily skin also, I would suggest using a blot powder on top of your foundations of any brand. The blot powder gets rid of the shine and oil. You could use a MAC blot powder on top of the Iman foundation to stop shine. Iman makeup is beautiful.
I must say that the make up didn't actually lighten her complexion. The lighting for the 'before' and 'after' photos were different resulting in the lighter-skinned appearance of the "after" photo. I personally think she looked beautiful sans make-up, and I especially like her black gums!
We never makeover African American women properly. How come their makeup always has to lighten them? This is outrageous! I'm sure it'd be very easy to apply makeup that evens those kinds of beautiful dark complexions in *dark shades*, for pete's sake. And I really don't like that Iman woman-- so scary and weird!!
iman is a pioneer. i love her. also black women tend to look lighter with thier makeup done becasue we have 2toned skin and its recomned that we match our color to the lighter color cuz it tends to look more natural and in my experince i find that to be acurate.
have you ever tried iman brand? for a dark skined woman to truely get an even color you HAVE to use 2 shades as we are duo shaded naturally. i dont understand your complaint? iman has some of the darkest shades i've ever seen! or dose it bother you that he used a conceler to "lighten" her..its called highlighting. its really not that serious.
It's not a complaint and it never was serious or bothersome to me, I just THOUGHT it was odd to have to lighten... but a few people explained to me there's no other way and it looks better anyway. So, I get it now... I'm duo shaded myself, you know. Chocolate and honey! ;D
I must say that the make up didn't actually lighten her complexion. The lighting for the 'before' and 'after' photos were different resulting in the lighter-skinned appearance of the "after" photo.
I guess you're right... I'm mixed, so I can easily be as pale as a "typical" European and as dark as a South Asian, depending on lighting... and hey, I didn't notice, but even the background color is different from the before/after photo!
i dont know why my skin is darker sometimes and lighter sometimes.
i have no idea why this happens but i know in the spring and autumn my skin is mostly lighter.
this summer my skin was lighter. but the most summer i am darker.people tell me i am beautiful darker so i use darker shade make up in the summer and lighter in autumn and spring.i kinda love being adaptable though.
Because when you have dark skin, you don't wanna look like a freak putting bright, light crap on your face. And some people have to buys certain brands, the other kind might break there skin out.
byron barnes a good damn makeup artist boy wen he was in the bahamas last year september during a promotion event he did my makeup and boy my end results were fabulous, I had sooo many compliments also at the end we the customers were able to take glamour shot. Mr. Barnes Im waiting on u to return to Bahamas again and teach me a two. All thanks to u nah I can be able to apply makeup to other faces just like u. You are the best. Keep it up Again thanks
The model was gorgeous before AND after!!!
VERY beautiful and I LOVE her hair.

Because when you have dark skin, you don't wanna look like a freak putting bright, light crap on your face. And some people have to buys certain brands, the other kind might break there skin out.

her concealer looks too light? or is it just me

I was thinking maybe it is the lighting, because her neck looks the same colour as her face and the colour looks natural.

lighter concealer is better for darker skin because in about 15 minutes or so it will oxidize and match the shade of the skin
