Frustrated with the selection of makeup colors for black woman, please help !?
I am so fed up with the lack of makeup colors for black woman and tired of spending money on expensive makeup products that dont always look the same once you leave the store. You take the time to have a beauty consultant match the right color for your skin (M.A.C.) and it doesnt look the same in natural light. i end up with an orange, greasy looking face. Even some drugstore brands, some colors are either to dark for me or to light, never an in between .Can any one recommend a brand for black woman that will give me a natural look, not a chalky cakey orange appearance. I'm thinking of trying MAC one more time since they have a mineral line or Fashion Fair and even covergirl queen collection, or black opal (so hard to find in drugstores nowadays). Any suggestions on these brands mentioned or others greatly appreciated.
Try MAC again. You should be able to exchange your mismatched foundation there. Also, ask them to try mixing two shades for you to achieve the right look. Liquid is easiest because you can count the pumps)
I also like Sephora myself because they have way more products to choose from and have mix shades for me before. Try the Dior brand.
Museum of Natural History in Smithsonian Collection
Some of the world’s most spectacular diamonds and other gems are located in the National Gem Collection in the Museum of Natural History in Smithsonian Collection in Washington, D.C. In the collection are diamonds known to almost everyone, such as the Hope Diamond, as well as other large diamonds and other precious gems and jewelry.
In the National Gem Collection are examples of spectacular minerals and crystals, as well gemstones and jewelry. You can see a beautiful purple quartz amethyst crystal, or the mineral azurite, which is a bright blue copper compound mineral. You can also see a huge green beryl crystal. Beryls are the mineral family that include emeralds, aquamarines, heliodor and morganite. It’s almost as exciting to see the raw crystal as it is to see the finished product when it’s been cut and polished.
Some of the finished pieces in the Smithsonian Collection include the crown Napoleon used for the second Empress, Marie Louise. It originally was made of 700 carats in diamonds and 79 emeralds. The emeralds have been replaced with Persian turquoise cabochons.
You can also see the 182-carat Star of Bombay star sapphire that was given to Mary Pickford by Douglas Fairbanks and a brilliantly colored black opal. Black opals are the most valuable of the opal family of gems.
There are also extraordinary examples of quartz crystals, including a 7,000 faceted clear quartz egg! Part of the Smithsonian’s collection includes pieces of jade and turquoise used in other cultures. This includes a collection of Zuni Indian turquoise jewelry and jade lanterns carved from nephrite for the Chinese emperor Chi’en Lung in 1750. A more modern piece is the Dragon Vase, carved from a rare piece of lavender jade.
But of course, the most dazzling items in the collection are the individual gemstones and jewelry that have been owned by royalty through the centuries.
