Darker skin can wear any shades! Just make sure the blush shades aren't ashy or the lip color shades aren't too light for the person's complexion.

if you want to play it safe say use golds,bronzes, and purples for blush i agree with Raisa C. and for lips go for a red or just a plan clear gloss.. hoep everything works out well

I see gorgeous photos of dark skinnned ladies with navy shadows on this season: http://jonesmag.com/beauty-hair/2011-checklist-10-must-have-double-duty-beauty-products/

...and I have to say: I'm super jealous. It looks so sexy! I'm imagining this color was contrast from MAC... but there are many colors out there from every brand to satisfy the navy trend this fall.  =)
