I've made way too many Sephora and drugstore run-ins with colored products that just didn't work. 'Try replacing your normal black formula with a pop of rich cobalt blue.'īut while the industry offers bold colors for varieties of skin tones, at times, I still find it difficult to nail down rich pigments that don't have loads of glitter in the mix. 'A bright fun eyeliner or mascara is a great way to incorporate color into your routine,' he says. 'I love using deep amber and deep honey matte tones to contrast bright colors.' And if you're still hesitant about completely coating your lids in a bright shadow, Harris suggests still incorporating a pop, especially during the summer months. 'Pair your bright shimmery eye shadow with a deep rich matte shadow to create contrast and dimension,' Sean Harris, go-to makeup artist for Kristen Noel Crawley and Normani says. And I've also learned the tricks of the trade from celebrity makeup artists who have mastered bright eyeshadows on dark skin. From strong eyeshadows to abstract lines on my lids, I've found my niche. Now, I'm super confident in my eye makeup game.

I was mesmerized by the hues, and how they saturated her deep brown skin. 316 in 2011 with cover star Jourdan Dunn glowing in the richest pigments of pink and red. until I saw the magical I-D Magazine Winter Warm Up Issue No. When I first started wearing makeup, I only wore red lipstick ( MAC Cosmetics Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo and Sephora Collection Cream Stain Liquid Lipstick in Red Velvet, to be exact) and a small cat-eye everyday. and eventually, I found several bright eye makeup products for dark skin that would be worthy of my mom bending the rules a little bit. With those 'rules' in mind, my sister and I didn’t really care to venture into makeup until later in the game. We weren’t gifted glitter makeup cases or a rainbow-hued assortment of nail polishes, as my mother had certain colors that were deemed “too grown.' Anything red or dark didn’t really fly in our household. Growing up, my mother wasn’t strict about too much.
