Kerry Washington

Looks best on: Medium or dark skin
Why we like it: Summer is a great time to experiment with color, and choosing a shade like purple, makes color wearable for those of us who are over 20.
Quick tip: To keep a bright shadow color in place, prime your lids by dusting them with a loose transparent powder before applying a purple shadow like MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Odd Couple, $19.99.

Some of these are really great, a couple not so much--they DO look cheap... but, still a good effort.
