What eye makeup would work for brown skin?

I have light brown skin, black hair and brown eyes. What makeup should I do for my eyes and lips? I like black eye makeup but I am not sure if that looks good on my skin tone. Thank you!

eyeliner but now alot :P or it will look a tad slutty, umm for lips i would go for a dark pinkish kind of colour but not too sharp :) . oh yeah and maybe some light colours for eye shadow :P like light blue or light pink somewhere around there would look good on you

for eyeliner you should use a brown instead of a black

for eyeshadow gold, purple, and brown colours are for people with tannish skin and brown eyes

for lips you should use a deep reddy colour with gold tints in it

have you tried golds, pinks and light browns? definitely try gold shades, they really compliment brown skin.

for everyday wear, a pretty NATURAL look-
black eyeliner on TOP, just a little to define your eyes

other good colors are purple, brown, gold

use a shimmery, white eyeshadow under your eyes and over your entire lid to even out the skin – use it under your eyes to brighten them up

starting from about midway on you eyelid *a little further back*, work a pink eyeshadow (a darker pink, maybe two shades lighter than your lips) and smooth it over your lids, working toward your temple.

you can intensify the look by using brown eyeshadow instead of pink, dont use a lot of bright blue though, it looks too garrish on your skin tone.

other eyeshadow colors – a light lavender, very dark blue for a more smoky look, gold

this takes NO time at all – max of 3 minutes :]

i recommend ULTA’s eyeshadow packs, i believe its a 4-combo color pack of the above mentioned eyeshadows

PS concentrate the area around your tear ducts just a LITTLE more to heighten the brightening up of your eyes

id go for just a little black eyeliner, not too much, and if you want eye shadow maybe green or a shimmery pink. lips, i would probly do some sort of dark pink or purpleish pink

blak will do but make sure theres a light base color underneath so that the black color wont look that much, try earth tones like bronze,gold and brown…

Use the color wheel — brown eyes look best with blue or purple shadows. Of course, neutral colors are good on everyone, but a purple smoky eye looks especially nice on brown eyed girls. Check out youtube for some tutorials or go to a MAC counter (Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales…) for some tips.
