Makeup colors for Dark Brown eyes and Black hair?

Hi there,

I usually use black eyeliner and mascara and gray or brown-ish shadows for makeup. I want something that will make my eyes pop, but not sure what colors will work best for me. I included a close up pic so you can see my skin tone and hair and eye colors. Any help is appreciated.

Answer #2

if you use mac eye shadows you can probably use pink shades and maybe some gold shades. I don’t know how crazy you like putting your makeup, but mac has all kinds of colors that are bold and show up really well!

Okay heres what you need to do… First… get a black eyeliner pencil and colour the whole top of your eyelid Second… get something to smudge it so it looks a bit dustier Third… this is optional… get a dark shade of eyeshadow and apply it on top of your eyelid. Fourth… use some good black mascara and a bit of black eyeliner along to top and bottom eyelash line.

I really love this technique, smudged eyeliner on top of the eye lid looks so great especially with dark hair. I found this technique on youtube some time ago, and I use it all the time.

us men prefer the natural look on women. Just don’t wear makeup! I’m a guy and to be honest a lot of girls don’t know this but we hate girls who wear foundation, mascara e.t.c. It shows you have something to hide. We just don’t tell you.

the lighter color you use, the bigger & brighter your eyes will look. (: oh, and mascara reallyy helps make your eyes look bigger!!! I think eyeliner usually makes your eyes look a bitt smaller..
