We’ve talked a lot about the best lipstick shades and highlighters for dusky skin but very few really focus on the interesting part and that is the eyeshadow. I go completely nuts when I see like a new eyeshadow palette launch but what disappoints me the most is that they’re mostly nudes or light shades that won’t really pop up on my eyes due to my deep/dusky complexion. Also, I do see a lot of makeup tutorials with influencers wearing bold eyeshadow colours which I personally feel won’t suit me but there’s no harm in trying right? So, that’s exactly what I did.

I have close to 10 eyeshadow palettes TBH but hardly used any of them, also, if I did, I must have hit pan on just one or two shades and that’s because I wasn’t confident enough to experiment.

So, girls if you’re medium to dusky just like me and never dared to try on something you haven’t before, I’ve got what you need. I recently discovered how fun eyeshadows can be and that our skin tone shouldn’t stop us from trying something we’ve been seeing all over the internet. So, to make things a tad bit easier for you, I’m going to be sharing my favourite or you can say the top 4 coloured eyeshadows for medium and deep/dusky skin tone.

Floral Yet Funky — Purple

If I hadn’t given it a shot, I would never realise how pretty this shade looked. To me, it’s a versatile shade that will suit all skin types including dusky skin. A purple eyeshadow be it matte or shimmery, can be your best bet when it comes to party makeup — it stands out so well and looks absolutely stunning. If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to. You’re going to love it, trust me

If you don’t believe me, here’s some proof.

Although not many women prefer pink as an eyeshadow colour, it is indeed a beautiful colour that stands out wonderfully no matter what your skin tone. It's so fresh, floral and feminine. Pinks are perfect for cocktail parties, beach weddings etc.

The Bold & Beautiful — Emerald Green

We turn green in envy when we see someone rock that royal green eyeshadow to perfection even when it comes to deeper skin tones. Royal green or emerald green is a luxurious colour. As you all know, emeralds look stunning when worn as an ornament so imagine what it would do or how instantly it would transform your look from mere basic to something that’s out of this world when you use it as an eyeshadow. It’s the shade you need when decking up for a friend’s reception party.
