Eye Makeup
The next step is to accentuate the eyes, indeed there are special shades that can add a glamorous flair to your skin tone. Apply a tiny transparent powder on the eyelids for the long-lasting effect. Then experiment with shades as prunes, burgundies, copper and dark browns.
Dark colors seem to complement this complexion more, rather than the light and powdery tints. If you feel the need to shine choose metallic shades. These will look fabulous especially if applied for a special night or an evening event.
During the day feel free to use brown or gray eyeliners, these will brighten up your eye makeup making it more sensitive and spectacular. Top your look with black or copperish mascara for a classy touch.
Lips
Depending on the particular event and the time of the day opt rather for a matte one and avoid the frosted ones. Dark complexion looks amazing with burgundies, brownish and berry shades.

Blush
As the final touch to the perfect makeup blush has an essential role in crowning the overall look. That's why it is necessary to take great care when choosing the right shade. Brown and peach shades were not designed for dark complexion.
