Silver Black

Colors to match a black and silver dress?

I am wearing a black and silver number for my New Year's Eve festivities. I want to wear funky eyeshadow (as I always do), but I don't necessarily want to be super matchy by wearing black and silver eyeshadow. Does anyone have any eye makeup suggestions?
I am olive/light brown and have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.

How To Look Your Best Wearing Silver.

Polished silver is a shiny white gray metal that reminds one of
moonlight. Silver is a cool color. A silvery color resembling
reflective surfaces at night when moon beams hit them. The lake
at night for example.

The light that silver jewelry casts on the wearer is light
moonlight. Lighting her features softly. In a very flattering
light.

That said, silver can make a woman look her most beautiful.

Silver is a cool color. It enhances other cool colors
beautifully. Silver brings out the best in black, blue, pure
white and other true colors. If you look great in black, you
should have a jewelry wardrobe full of silver jewelry. At least
have a few pieces of sterling
silver jewelry as these will enhance practically anything
you wear.

If you look good in black, blue or fuschia outfits, you have
cool skin tones. You WILL look amazing in anything silver. Get a
selection of silver
outfits to suit the personality you want to project.

If you have cool skin tones, anything silvery would look good on
you. Decorate you home with silver accents as the silver would
subtly enhance your beauty in your home. Drive a silver car,
carry a silver bag. Basically surround yourself with silver
items or silver trimmed things for that cool, flattering light.

On the other hand, if you have warm skin tones, what do you do?
If you look great in earth tones, but terrible in black or blue,
chances are that you have warm skin tones. Gold jewelry would be a
better bet. You would look way better in gold accessories
instead. You are better off avoiding large, plain, purely silver
jewelry as these would probably clash with your coloring.

Still, even if you have warm skin tones, you can get away with
some types of silver jewelry. Just pick silver jewelry that is
intertwined with gold in the design. Or you could easily carry
off silver jewelry that is really small. In fact, you can look
fabulous wearing silver jewelry set with stones with warm earthy
colors. Try wearing your silver set with amber for example. Like
these silver and
amber necklaces. Wear silver if it is used to set something
in a warm color that flatters you.

While polished silver is a bright white, silver tarnishes
easily. With time, silver turns black. Constant polishing keeps
it white and shiny, but some pieces look better as they tarnish.
I used to make jewelry. some of the silver beads in my
collection have rather intricate designs. The etched parts
tarnish first, turning black, showing off the design
beautifully. Adding character to the bead. Those beads look best
when only the surface is polished. A thorough polishing so that
even the etched parts turn white would result in beautifully
white, shiny beads without much character.

Allowing your intricate silver jewelry to tarnish slightly gives
it more character. More so than keeping it perfectly polished at
all times.

Silver is an interesting metal used in jewelry making. Thanks to
its price, it is often used to set semi-precious stones and to
create more adventurous designs. The artisan can afford to take
more risks when working with less expensive materials than the
costlier ones. It is one of the basics you need in your jewelry
wardrobe
