Sometimes buying makeup is so difficult us black women. But as you read this article, there is hope. No deep research needed, all of the things you need are all on this article. But really though, let's begin.
1. Brows
First off, I would start with brows because moisturizing products and primers can cause the eyebrow product to break up and not show up. But the Anastasia Brow Whiz is a great product for beginners (or you can use the NYX Micro Brow Pencil as a cheaper option).
2. Concealer
NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Concealer
Then you need a concealer that will conceal your brows, undereye bags, dark circles, and other imperfections. The good thing about this concealer is that it comes in so many shades in a variety of undertones.
3. Eyeshadow Primer
Milani Eyeshadow Primer is one of the best eyeshadow primers that I've used, doing a great job with helping the eyeshadow stick.
4. Eyeshadow
Juvia's Place Masquerade Palette
This is a perfect eyeshadow palette because it has shades perfect for a natural look and also shades for a colorful look. Also, jewel toned colors are perfect on women of color and thus this being a perfect palette.
5. Eyeliner
This $3 option is so easy for beginners with a pigmented black shade that stays on all day!
6. Lashes

For beginners, I would start off with these Eyelure lashes. This is not your ordinary drugstore lash. These lashes will change your eye look for the better.
7. Mascara
If you're not a fan of lashes, then this mascara is your best bet. This mascara is great on its own, taking your lashes to new heights.
8. Face Primer
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
This is my personal favorite primer from Maybelline as it suits all skin types. It is smooth on the skin and helps hold everything together.
9. Foundation
NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Foundation
For foundation, the NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop Foundation is a popular option this year as it comes in 45 shades. There is a good variety for everyone, and suitable for all skin types.
10. Powder
I highly recommend buying a banana shade (or a yellow undertone) powder. If you're not feeling the yellow shade, luckily the Ben Nye brand has a wide range of shades to complement your skin tone.
11. Bronzer
I think picking up a bronzer is best for beginners because it adds color and vibrancy to the face. This bronzer palette has four different shade to choose and they're all beautiful.
12. Highlight
Makeup Revolution Jelly Highlighter
Gold highlighters look great on women of color as they are kissed by the sun. This one is pigmented, like crazy pigmented. Ultimately, this will last all day.
13. Lip Liner
I start my usual lip look with a brown lip liner. This is a color that needs to be in every women of color's makeup collection as it blends with unworkable lip colors to make them workable.
14. Lip Gloss

Finding a brown lipgloss will help compliment the skin along with the dark brown lip liner.
15. Finishing Spray
Last but not least, finish up your makeup look with my ALL time favorite makeup spray as it puts everything together while taking care of your skin.
Whew, now that's a makeup tutorial. Let my ladies with melanin shine in 2019.
