WOC- I need YOUR help!

Hi ladies..

I'm hoping you can help me out some.

I have a new client with darker skin and my experience with her deep tone isn't as extensive as I'd like.

What colors do YOU think really pop on darker tones?

She's an NW 45.. our goal here is to do some couture style big makeup.. its for photographs. I'd rather hear from those who have deeper tones and understand the color .... so..can you guys give me some advice? I'd greatly appreciate it alot..

blues, teals, purples and greens really pop on WOC.

I was thinking purples and gold.. but it seemed so cliche'.. Awesome! Thank you for the suggestion! I will make a list and put these colors on it..

Cranbery, and other wine colors also on the eyes. Loverush, Razin, Exhibit A or Dolce Vita for blush.

Very bold neon colors. Purples, Blues, definitely Yellows, and Greens. Look up photos of Alec Wek. The link below will give you great ideas. Poke around on the site. The model is simply stunning. Look here and see what I mean:
