Choco, I understand what you are saying. Yes, you can use makeup to lightening your skin, but you have to be careful that it doesn't make you look to ashy like Lil Kim or something. There are numberous tricks that you can use with makeup to make it appear that you are actually light. With airbrush makeup, since you are dark, you would need to use a color that would "cover up" your dark undertones.Here are some examples, racechanging makeups | realistic & non-realistic whiteface | ‘The Tyra Banks Show’ | themakeupgallery (http://www.themakeupgallery.org.uk/racial/white/tyra.htm) . In these pictures, the makeup artist was able to change Tyra's complexion to lighter color with makeup.

so would it be a good idea to use doris micheals yellowy brown concealer on very dark brown skin first to make a lighter undeterone then use desired brown toned make-up ? would it look to heavy could I use loose powder instead for the undertone.....:confused:

Makeup for lightening ? Stupid choice ... what would happen when someone you want falls for you just because of your light colour .. and when your in bed.. he or she sees your true colour ???

Bad idea!!!

yea it is stupid lol but once youv' had a bad experience with skin lightning creams with what other options is there.....

Well to everyone his or her own .. i dont think its a good idea.. luking bright while makeup is on .. and not when its not...

what about days when you simply cant put on your makeup ?

rather than that use hydrogen peroxide.. it gives u super temporary lightening but lightening for sure...


why waste time on a silly makeup job

Choco, In order to truly cover up your skin complexion with makeup, you would need to try some theatrical and movie makeup that real makeup artist use on set. Ben Nye is a good choice and has a variety of colors. As for what color would you need to put on first, I'm not sure without actually seeing your complexion. You would need to know what's your skin's undertones and neutralize it with a specific hue. There is a great color wheel site that explains this, but I can't remember which.

are you sure hydrogen peroxide will lightning MY skin tone. which is very very dark... if so where do you usually buy it?

Hydrogen peroxide will only lighten for a matter of minutes, then resume to your origial color. It may be able to dry up the top layer of the skin. I had wondered about this too before. It can bleach the hair, but it is strong. It temporarily lightens because it's a bit more acidic than lemon juice. It's the same as the hydrogen peroxide you can buy at walmart or almost any store that you use for cuts, scrapes, and bleaching teeth.

do you think it's worth it if it is a matter of minutes?

Well, people apply it to their skin for various reasons so it's worth a shot. It may burn though. So if you want you can see how your skin reacts to it and try not letting it sit too long.

Sugar please do NOT use this. Omg..... PLEASE. This is just going to burn your skin and dry you out. Honey don't use it.
