Answer 3

Gold eye shadow would look REALLY good on your lids with some black liquid eyeliner and big eyelashes. Any sort of bronzy color will work for you. You could also wear plums/purples.

Smashbox is a very good brand and they have Brazilian Bronze, Champagne, Honey, Java, Nude and 24k (true gold). Don't forget your highlighter I would suggest Vanilla for you, it's not such a stark white. Purples you could try would be Cabernet and spellbound. They are expensive, but when you have dark skin you will need a very good quality shadow so that it will be vibrant on your skin unlike the regular drug store kinds.

Of course Urban Decay is always good. Smog, Baked, Toasted, Purple Haze and Crash would probably look especially good.

or they have matte eye shadows: cult, shakedown or secret service would be good.

I like Bare Escentuals because it's so shiny and it's mineral makeup. I would suggest vanilla sugar, bordeaux, passionate plum, cashmere, faux fox, cocoa, camp or java.

I think this looks super cool if you want to experiment with a bunch of bright colors:

So I'm sure you get the idea.

Another thing: a primer is KEY to great eyeshadow stay, vibrancy and application. Urban Decay Primer Potion is supposed to be the best. I just tried it and it really makes that eyeshadow stick but it's not sticky on your eyes.

As for the eyeliner and mascara, I only use Rimmel London Professional Liquid Eyeliner in black and Maybelline Volum' Express Turbo Boost in black. I own a bunch of others but don't even use them because they just don't compare! Except maybe Maybelline Voum' Express the Colossal :P

wow your eyes are beautiful, what i would do is go buy liquid eye liner ,victoria seacret, and put some on and then put on a lighter yellowish or white color over it so the black eyeliner dosnt make your eyes dark,so put it over the eyeliner and the color will smear leaving behind like a greenish grayish color. then you can just put some glitter over it. it will be gorgeous

Answer 5

well i think bright colors look really good on dark complextions like a bright turquize would bring out your skin tone and your eyes or even i love how a bright salom peach color looks on dark skin also lime green and a light purple even try oppisites like a gold will always look stunning or even try a silver. =) for eyeliner you should try funky colors such as gold, blue, light green.. the brighter the better it will look on a dark complexion. =) hope i helpedd.
