Your best jewel tones: Any vibrant jewel tone you like.

Complexions like yours have carte blanche to experiment with any jewel tone. MAC West Coast director of makeup artistry Gregory Arlt recommends staying away from reds and magentas, which can make you look a little sick. "If you must try them, mix them with black or use a gradation of color," he says.

Try: MAC Technakohl Liner, $14.50 in Auto-de-blue, NYC Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil, $3.99 in Teal, Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil, $15 in Honey.

Pro secret: "The darker the complexion, the more you start to really see the jewel tone," says Arlt. To get rich, true color that won't transfer to lids, opt for waterproof pencils with medium softness.
