A cobalt eye shadow, seen at Dannijo, is an on-trend way to add an unexpected pop of color to your makeup routine. It looks fantastic and shows up against darker skin tones. Makeup artist Yadim used Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Pure Pigments in Brash Blue over the lids to create this eye-defining look. With eye shadow this bold, all your lips need is a swipe of a neutral balm (Yadim used Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched on the models).

Classic Red Lips at Carolina Herrera
Put the emphasis on your lips with bold, brick-red lipstick as seen at Carolina Herrera. Gilded eye shadow brings warmth to darker skin tones, and makes for an updated classic look you could definitely wear before Spring 2015 (hello, holiday party inspiration).

Updated Smoky Eye at Prism
Jewel-toned eye shadows are especially rich and sultry on dark skin. At Prism, Lucero gave model's what she calls a "deconstructed darling" look by creating a smoky eye with Stila Jewel Eye Shadow in Amethyst, and then adding an unexpected, but subtle, touch of gold in the crease (she used Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Smudge Stick in Gilded) to illuminate the eye.
