For darker skin colors, colors that contrast the best are lighter shimmery tones. Peach, coral, gold, bronze or grey. Stay away from naturals and brown tones. This also applies to blush.

For almost all makeup, darker skin tones should try bright colours, like corals, roses, deep oranges for blush. Avoid anything with brown undertones.
For eyes, go with rich toned purples and certain shades of very rich blue(though be careful with blue, it can look cheap or just unattractive on many people). Avoid very light tones, they will not stand out or do much for you. Go with Black for eyeliner and mascara and use warm, metallic colours like gold and metallic red tones.
Also- experiment: these are only guidelines and to find what works for you try going to a beauty counter and trying on various shades. You're not obligated to buy anything, so don't worry about the sales people.

Soft, sheery, dreamy pastels with hints of shimmer will bring out your eyes wonderfully and show up nicely on your skin.
