Who is "they" and who cares what "they" think? I've always hated these so called rules made up by these imaginary people. Women of colour can wear what ever they want, smokey eye included.

I Agree! I was just gonna say that navy makes for a very nice smokey eye on WOC. I also like to do a brown smokey look when I wanna have a slightly jazzed up natural look.

^ LOL I like that quote!!
But it's crazy how people seem to make up these rules for darker skinned people, and even very light skinned people.
WHo are they to tell us what and what not to wear?
And you know what's sad? Some people actually do follow these " Rules" like mu aunt. SMH, all that woman wears is Razin blush, and brown eyeshadow
And the few of my friends that actually DO wear makeup, only keep it neutral, like um, hello? Let's explore the different colors of the rainbow please!

I have never heard anyone say that before.But the smokey look doesn't have to be limited to black, a purple or grey variation looks softer on the eyes.
I think with any make up look its about balance depending on how the hair was styled,what you were wearing it with and I think its a look everyone can pull off

The smokey eye is universal...there are no rules to make up. I believe in coloring outside the lines. Dark greens, blues, and other jewel tones look wonderful on women of color and can be smokey as well.
