- Hi. I'm Kendra Richards, professional makeup artist, and today, I'm going to show you which eyeshadow colors look best with black hair and dark skin. If you have black hair and a darker complexion, choose eyeshadow colors that are in a warmer range, in browns and neutrals, those are always foolproof go to colors, that look great and add some brightness and warmth to the face. And, I like to use the Color Design Palette in Siena Sultry by Lancome. Now, with darker skin, it's very important to make sure that you use an eyeshadow base to prep the lid before you begin. That will help the colors to read true and it will also help the eyeshadow to stay in place and be maintained throughout the day. So, I'll begin with the sheer, soft pink color over her entire eyelid. You can see that this is already adding a brightness to her lid area. Then, I'm going to take this beautiful, shimmery champagne color and I'm going to use this as a highlight color, starting at the center of her eye and I've chosen that because it's got a little bit of that shimmer in it that I think is so beautiful in the center of the eye. It gives a very awake look to the eye and I'm going to extend it out to the middle. And then, I'm going to take this brown, taupe-y brown color, again, another warm, beautiful color that complements Jeviana's skin tone. And, I'm going to use this on the outer edge of her eye to add a little definition right at the outer edge here. I'm going to enhance that further by using this deeper liner color, tapping in on the outer edge. Now, you can see that this color palette is bringing her skin to life. I'm feeling like I'd like a little bit more brightness right up under the brow, so I'm going to add this bright color, this soft pink, in under the brow. And, then, I'm going to go in one more time with my shimmery champagne color over it. And, again, up under the brow to add that little bit of lift. I like that. So, to complete the look, I'm going to use this beautiful, coppery brown shade to line right at the base of the lashes. And this color is soft, but adds a beautiful frame to the eye. OK? So, see, your liner doesn't have to be a deep color for it to have an impact. This soft brown is very noticeable and it's just a perfect compliment to the warm color palette that I'm using here. So, you can see the brightness that I've achieved here on Jeviana by using this warm color palette. It's still brightening her eye, it's giving a great open eye look and I haven't had to use any bold colors or anything too harsh. That's a mistake I often see and it's not necessary. You can create a great open, wide-eye look with this natural color palette. This warm color palette is a perfect complement to Jeviana's skin tone and her dark hair. And, whenever you have dark hair like this, I always use a black mascara to finish the eye and give it the perfect complement. So, those are the colors that go best with black hair and dark skin. I'm Kendra Richards, thanks for watching.
