Comments
Word from the designer
"I wanted to create an innovative foundation that enhances black skin without altering its radiance. I believe that make-up is there above all to accompany each woman in her daily life - not to hide her from the world. That's why I've made it a point to offer you a foundation with a comfortable second skin finish, optimal pigmentation and long-lasting performance. It's the perfect foundation for a make-up look that's all about you.

The foundation for black skin that revolutionises colour make-up
To raise your colours every day.
Our foundation for black and mixed-race skin is formulated around a combination of specific dyes and pigments with darker tones. Conventional complexion products usually range from the lightest to the darkest phototypes, but with a single colour base. After months of R&D, we have developed a composition that sublimates and perfectly matches the colour of dark skins. This is the guarantee of a tailor-made, haute couture make-up. And finally.
The foundation for oily and black skin with a blemish-fading effect
For skin that looks instantly smooth and silky.
This matifying foundation dedicated to black skin is designed for all women who want to blur the appearance of their imperfections. Its silicone texture fills in small irregularities in the complexion without clogging the pores. In just a few strokes, it forms a "soft focus" perfecting film on the skin's surface. Enriched with absorbent powders, it fights against excess sebum in the T-zone and leaves the complexion delicately matte and glowing. Result: a flawless make-up look.
Dark complexion make-up, between luxury and extreme performance
For makeup that fits your lifestyle (and not the other way around!)
Be surprised by the sensorial texture of our high coverage foundation for black skin. Its rich, luxurious feel offers a surprisingly light application. Easy to blend, it glides on with remarkable elegance and lasts for 24 hours. The plus: it is infused with physalis oil and vitamin E with antioxidant properties. These two active ingredients preserve the skin's comfort and prevent the signs of accelerated skin ageing.

How to apply your foundation for mixed race skin?
Natural and diffused result
Apply the foundation with a make-up sponge.
Apply one or two pumps of product to the back of your hand. Use the rounded end of the sponge to pick up some of the product. Tap your cheeks, forehead and chin until you get the look you want. Use the pointed tip to make it easier to apply around the eyes and down the sides of the nose.
High coverage result
Apply the product with a foundation brush.
Apply one to two pumps of foundation to the back of your hand. Use the bristles of a large, flat brush to pick up a little of the product. Smooth the product by stretching it from the inside to the outside of your face. Also go down to the neck. If necessary, refine the result with a concealer on the marked imperfections.
How to choose your foundation when you have black skin?
At YEKOH Cosmetics, we advise you to look for high quality cosmetics with differentiating expertise. Make sure they not only match your skin type, but also your skin tone. Also pay attention to the desired level of coverage (light, medium, high) and the finish of the product (matte, satin, glow). Liquid textures have the advantage of being easy to apply and to modulate according to your make-up desires.
What is the best foundation for oily black skin with blemishes?
Dark skin tends to produce more sebum than other skin types. They are therefore more exposed to shine and imperfections (dilated pores, pimples, blackheads, etc.). When choosing your foundation for black skin, make sure its formula is non-comedogenic. This will limit the appearance of future imperfections. If your shine bothers you, choose a mattifying formula with a "skin-like" finish. Your complexion will look fresher while remaining natural.
Which foundation color is best for matte skin?
The choice of your foundation color depends mainly on the undertones of your skin. For black, dark and Mediterranean skin, there are warm, neutral and cool tones. Whatever your skin type, you're bound to find the right shade for you in our collection of 9 dark shades. If in doubt, send us a photo of your skin to contact@yekok.com and we'll be happy to guide you in your selection.
