I wanted to know if there are any good eyeshadow palettes that people with dark skin can really pull off 🙂

2nd Juvia's place, particularly both Nubian palettes and Warrior 2.  Also, to add to tarte the TARTE - Tartelette™ Toasted Eyeshadow Palette.  The Tarte palette is pretty good for warm/neutral looks.

Also, if you wanna go for glam, I love Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow Foil.  It's a really nice gold.

Even without eyeshadow primer, these palettes pop on my lids and the shadows all sit and blend beautifully: VISEART - Eyeshadow Palette - 08 Editorial Brights (I also have and love Dark Mattes) and PAT MCGRATH LABS - MTHRSHP Sublime Bronze Temptation Eyeshadow Palette (also La Vie en Rose and Metalmorphosis... honestly, any of her palettes should work well). 

Juvia’s Place metallics and shimmers are usually fantastic, but I find their mattes a bit patchy and not as pigmented. My favorite JP palette by far is The Masquerade. 

I’d also recommend buying some MAKE UP FOR EVER - Artist Color Eye Shadow

singles to create your own palette. I have many MUFE metallics and shimmers, and a few mattes. The only reason I use eyeshadow primer with the MUFE singles is to prevent shadow transfer/wear-off, because the colors need no help showing up. 😂 You can also try some Coloured Raine singles, particularly the Vivid singles. Some CR shadows perform much better for me than others, but the Vivids will definitely show up on dark skin tones. 

Oh, and you might find the Deeper Hues thread helpful for palette (and other makeup) swatches: https://community.sephora.com/t5/Makeup-Is-Life/The-Deeper-Hues-Thread-Swatches-Color-Matching-etc/m-p/3646751#M21619

Hope some of this helped!

H @Thithisa,

I have been loving the URBAN DECAY - Born To Run Eyeshadow Palette and I love the TARTE - Tartelette™ In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette. Both are great for creating every day looks and full glam looks. The shadows are pigmented and blend well. I hope this helps! 

Best Wishes,

Janean
