Naomi Campbell gives us a fabulous example of eyeshadow palettes that are striking with ebony skin. She uses eye makeup colors that make her eyes look even more beautiful. There are some colors generally work quite well with dark and African American skin tones, but for every woman, her skin’s natural undertones will be the decising factor for the final decision when it comes to choosing eyeshadow.  Learn to distinguish the tones reflected in your ebony skin – they could be cool blue, grey, or reddish undertone. Use your natural skin colors to choose eye colors that enhance the color of your skin, but show your uniques personality and personal preferences.  You may prefer sexy, smokey eyes or bright, bold colors. You may even prefer the sheer or nue look for your eyes.

Some great eye makeup colors that will enhance you look are deep plums and purple hues, burgundies, turquoise, aqua, deep greens, certain shades of brown and beige, rich coppers, and grey and black in combination with other colors.  If your skin is more golden in complexion try cream, lavender, light green and peach shades for your eye makeup.
