Dear Budget Fashionista,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am African-American and I am very dark skinned with purple undertones. I have the hardest time finding foundation and concealers for my skin tone on a budget. Can you recommend a good, budget friendly, make-up brand for me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that the majority of beauty brands don\u2019t formulate shades for all<\/em> skin tones. Even those products that have genuinely dark shades don\u2019t always offer something that\u2019s tailored to your tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is good news here. Times they are a-changing. As more companies recognize that, yes, in fact, there are<\/em> more than five skin tones<\/a>, it has become easier to navigate the aisles confidently. You can and you will find a shade that flatters naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concern also lies in the way brands create darker colors. Often they simply add some dark pigment to an existing light hue, yielding shades that appear dark in the bottle but don\u2019t produce an exact match for most people of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Color-correct trouble spots first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your mission is to find the foundation that matches your skin\u2019s cool undertone and basically disappears on most areas of your skin. If deep blue\/purple circles beneath the eyes are an issue, apply a dab of neutralizing yellow concealer from Physicians Formula ($8.95) and tap \u2014 don\u2019t rub \u2014 into the skin. You can also apply a dab of color-correcting cream onto imperfections and allow it to set before you apply your foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budget-friendly foundation for black women<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most wallet-friendly foundation brands now carry extensive color selections. Here are a few that won\u2019t put a dent in your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
