The perfect last minute additions to your festive wish list. Best MAC Cosmetics Neutral Eyeshadows for Women of Color Amber Lights: Amber Lights was one of the first eyeshadows I owned. I feel in love with its super soft finish and how amazing it looked with the smokey eye that the MAC artist helped me create.
Top 10 warm/ neutral MAC eye shadows for Dark Brown Indian Skin. By Contributor: Kritika. Eye shadow is one such piece that can instantly add a lot of drama to your whole look.
First things first: try to avoid whites, pale blues, pale pinks, and pale greens, Smyler suggests. They can make you look ashy. An easy way to test out shadows is by trying them on your hand first. If the shade melts right into your skin, it's the one for you. If it makes your skin look dried out, toss it.

Eyeshadow For Dark Skin Women

I'm a mixed female, and I seem to just have such a hard time finding good makeup products. While I have (generally) decent skin, I'm not too worried about foundation/concealer etc, but due to the color of my skin, I have a really hard time finding good eyeshadow palettes for my skin color. I mostly shop drug store, and I guess I'm going to have to stop because every shadow product in my makeup bag barely shows up on my skin. I'm not very dark at all either, but the colors aren't very pigmented. I often have to do coat upon coat upon coat to even get it to look like the shade shown.
Best Mac Eyeshadows For Dark Indian Skin
Any darker skinned people have brand/tip suggestions? I'd like it to (of course) be blendable. So more of the creamier types rather than the chalky consistency. I know a lot of great products have popped up recently, but I seem to find that they all come in $20+ one-shade packs. I've googled, but I find more results for foundation/concealer than I do shadow.
I apologize if this is a common question. Just not sure where to look at this point.
