Lessons in colour

Dark skin

If you are in this category the aim is to use shades which intensify your natural skin tone. Dark, iridescent grey, bordeaux, sparkling emerald green and sapphire blue are attractive colours for your eyelids. Copper also does wonders to set off your eyes. Remember that pastel tones are an absolute no-no!

For your lips, a golden tone works well for everyday wear. To create a dramatic look use a lip colour in wine red or black cherry.

For your cheeks, a bronze tone also works since very dark skin needs intense colour. To create accents you can use plum, berry tones and cerise.

The best nail colours for you are classic rouge noir or metallics.
