something gold or sliver
I'd suggest trying L'Oreal's True Match Foundation because they come in a variety of undertones. A lot of foundations tend to be ashy on African American skin. They also have a corresponding concealer (I'm not really the biggest fan of the one the picked for my skin tone, but I think if I looked at other ones, I'd probably find one that I liked. I also hear that L'Oreal HIP has foundations with gold undertones.


As far as eyeshadows go, you have a lot of choices. Darker skin is more versatile when it comes to color, but if you're new to makeup, I'd stick to natural/neutral colors and eventually if you're feeling more adventurous you can experiment with color. One of my favorite colors is gold and my favorite gold is L'Oreal's single eyeshadow in Gilded Bronze (the name says bronze, but it looks more gold on me).


Hopefully that's a good place to start and you have some good ideas of where to look. Good luck!
Sukina, I use aularale.com/7002 - it is excellent. From the skin care to the foot cream - I highly recommend it. Check out aularaletv.

You can go much bolder with color and make sure you get products for your skin because your skin will absorb more color as well. Browns and bronzes for eyes will look really nice. Even some champagne color near the corner of your eyes. It depends on your tone but plums are good for blush and lips. If you are lighter, make them more berry.
start with the eyes like black eyeliner , black mascara , a nude eyeshadow and wear a colored gloss . This you can just pick up at the drug store





Then go to like concealer , foundation and blush . For these I recommend that you go get color matched at : Mac , Fashion Fair , etc .
you have to play to your skin tone. use pinky browns, golds, browns and bronzes. i wouldn't recomend sivler or blue as they can look quite ahrsh sometimes on darker skintones-not for everyday but amybe for a night out.
African American's have Beautiful shades of skin. All you probably need is a little eye make up to start out with. Such as eye shadows (all fun colors), mascara, eyelash curler.....


Try the brand MAC
Mascara, eyeline, blush and lipstick.





Log on to youtube and if there is a particular colour you want to experiment with do a search in youtube. ie ';purple eyeshadow'; or ';purple smokey eyes'; for example; youtube will display numerous tutorials using purple eyeshadow.





Try Mac for lipsticks as they have lots of colours that suit dark skins.
