The Dusk to Dawn collection from Midas Cosmetics introduces a face palette that was specifically created to support those with dark skin tones. Launching soon, the Dusk to Dawn collection boasts a total of four face palettes that are curated by skin tone and include a highlighter, blush, contour and bronzer shade.
These face palettes were created in collaboration with makeup artist Darius McKiver (also known as NeonMUA,) who sees influencers struggling to find shades to suit their skin tones—like Nyma Tang needing to resort to using eyeshadows for bronzing and contouring.
Midnight represents the darkest of the four palettes and it includes a deep burgundy blush, a cool-toned brown contour, a light chocolate bronzer and a shimmery yellow-gold highlighter.
