Well right now I have blonde hair and mostly wear nude colors. Tomorrow i'm going to get my hair done and i'm getting dark brown low lights and caramel highlights and i'm sure there will still be some trace of blonde left. I was wondering if I should change my makeup colors around a little bit. I'm going to be heading to walmart probably tonight to buy some new make up and was thinking of buying new lip gloss, stick, eye shadow, blush, etc. Any help would be wonderful:)

You should try some bronze, peach or green shades on your eyes, especially olive green. For lipcolors, how about some peachy shades for Spring/Summer? Neutral pinks are always great as well, for eyes and cheeks. I also love tawny peach blushes.

Peachy Pink glossy lip colours.
Pinks and Golds for your eyeshadow.
Some spearmint green and violet shades for fun.
Golden Pink or Peach shades for blush.
Maybe a light bronzer.
Brown mascara.
The basic nudes you have already will be a good base, just spice it up a bit.

When I have dark hair, I always tend to do darker eye makeup. You should consider getting a shimmery brown shadow if you don't already have one as a crease shade.

In agreement. You can keep to the same color scheme you are using, nudes and neutrals, it will still look good. But I find that I need to wear darker colors to avoid looking washed out when my hair is darker, but I am also quite pale.
I think you will you also have more range of color schemes with darker hair without it looking over the top like it can with blonde hair, at least IMHO. Have fun!
