http://www.styleunited.com/TipsAndTrends/article/Bright-Eye-Shadow-Tips-for-Women-of-Color  Some women with darker skin may shy away from bright eye shadow. But bright colors actually can really pop on darker skin. You just need to know how to apply them. Start with a toned-down face and well-groomed brows and then try these looks.

Step-by-Step:

1. Ocean blues: Deep shades of blue, teal and green can highlight brown eyes beautifully. A great kit with a few different ocean shades is the CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 3 Kit Shadow in Blazing Blues.

2. Purples: You can try wearing purple or other bright colors just along the edge of the lid so it is not overwhelming. You can also apply with a wet brush, treating the eye shadow more like eye liner. In this video I've used CoverGirl Eye Enhancers Shadow in Purple.

3. Coppery red: You can wear a surprising color like this if blend carefully, shading the crease with a complementary darker shade, and a lighter shade on the brow bone.

4. Bright green: Be bold and try something fluorescent.

TIP: An eye-shadow primer first will make your shadow last.
