Top photo flash - Bottom natural light

I'm clearly darker than the model above I wear a 11.0 in Naked foundation , Dark in Smashbox CC and BB Cream. The colors are NOT awful on darker skin as its very pigmented on me - so imagine when you wear an eyeshadow primer - base formula underneath. The shadows are velvety smooth and I am pleasantly satisfied. WHAT I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH is THE BLUSH - theres no WAY I can wear this blush AT ALL... Thats where MOST cheek / eyeshadow palettes FAIL - ALL ACROSS THE BOARD . They also choose these light blushes that would only work with fair skin. I'm not surprised nor disappointed cause at this point in the game I've come to accept that it is what it is.. At least there is 8 great colors to choose from. The Brown and Black liners can easily be used in the crease as well to create a dramatic look or even a black lid that fadesout to the brown for a EXTREME smokey. thats the key to using palettes, you become your own Picasso and your face is the canvas and there is no "rules" continue to play around. So all other Dark Skinned girls - YES Tarte Cosmetics provides products we CAN use...
