It’s one thing to be dark-skinned, it’s another thing to have a facebeat that highlights your facial features and accentuates your melanin beauty. You don’t want to risk wearing a shade of powder/foundation that is totally different from your skin tone or a lipstick that makes you look lousy, do you? We just thought these melanated makeovers could tip you on the best makeup for a melanin skin.

If you find pink or red lipstick too bold for your melanin skin color, take a cue from Nollywood actress, Beverly Naya, and try pale, earth-toned lips. This melanated makeover done by Dodos Uvieghara paired Beverly’s lip color with a matching hairdo, bold eyeliner and well-sculpted eyebrows.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
