Liquid Dimension In search of a more defined contour? Toss the powders. "When fully contouring dark skin, I recommend cream or liquid products, since sometimes mineral powders appear chalky," says Duke.
Emulate Kelly Rowland's contour with a cream or liquid foundation two to three shades darker than your natural skin tone. Take a small rounded brush, such as M.A.C. 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush, $42, and paint a stripe of dark foundation under the cheekbone, on the sides of the nose and around the forehead. Then, stipple on your foundation with a large, round brush. This will blend in the two shades for a more natural appearance.
Last, brighten the center of the face by applying your lighter shade to the bridge of the nose, under the eyes, around the nose and chin. We recommend Iman Second to None Cream to Powder foundations, $16, which come in a variety of shades.
