What makes deep skin different?
Deep skin tones have the most range of any category — from warm mahogany and bronze to cool ebony and deep neutral brown. The common mistake is assuming all deep skin is the same. Whether your undertone pulls warm, cool, or neutral completely changes which colours work. Deep colouring can carry saturation and contrast that other skin tones cannot.
The mistakes most people make.
Washed-out pastels — no contrast with deep skin
Wearing too many dark colours head-to-toe — loses definition
Warm oranges on cool-undertoned deep skin — creates ashy effect
Ignoring your undertone — warm deep and cool deep are different
