maybe just a little sparkle on your eyes and gloss for your lips. you are already beautiful :)

Definitely bronzes. Red for lips on darker skins are always great. Avoid same tone colours (e.g. brown lipstick etc.). Colours like green/blue eyeshadow etc. will make you look like a prostitute. Try a creamy eyeshadow, something like a very light brown. I think maroon looks really chic with dark skins.
There's a saying "black is beautiful" - I really don't think you need much make-up. Perhaps some eyeliner, red tinted lip gloss and a touch of mascara and you're made.

Depending on what you like i think you could use dark colors on yourself, Even though your skin is that dark. You just need a good color like red-ish maybe. You could also try useing some light colors.. I think a redish shade of lipstick would be good. But im not sure on the eye shadow. Sorry. i hope i helped somewhat :]

since ur skin is really dark you shoudl go for a light brown color. because other colors will clash with ur skin tone. u can also call ur aavon representive and he/she will help you find the perfect tone for you.

i guess just be natural...dont overload ur face with any colour. however, try to keep ur face clean every time. for ur lips, use the transparent gloss. u will look simple and adorable.....
