Answer 1

if you have dark skin then a bronze blusher but if its light brown then a dark pink and some bronze and purple eyeshadows and a nice pink or brown lipgloss and eyeliner would suit your dark eyes and both on top and bottom would look good

Answer 2

Well, firstly you already have lovely skin by the sounds of it so I would lay off the foundation. Try a tinted moisturiser. Benefit do a great one called You Rebel.



Next use a light pink or shimmery bronzer on the apples of your cheeks - nothing too dark. Again, try Benefit Hoola or Dallas. They are both lovely.



Try a nice cream/beige colour eyeshadow and apply that all over the lid. Then use a darker brown colour in the evenings on the outer corner of your lids - not too much - blending is the key! When you look down at a mirror but keep your head up, apply the darker shade to the bits of your eyelids that look shaded. Try it and you'll see what I mean! For eyeliner, feep your eyes open and dot all the way along your lashline as close to the lashes as you can. Just dot the pencil - don't draw a solid line - and do it on the bottom too for an evening look. Then using a blending sponge or cotton bud, smudge the eyeliner dots together to form a smokey look and to blend the dots in. Follow with a coat of mascara. Leave your lips natural with a slick of lipgloss in a peachy or natural red colour and voila! Beautiful!!!

Answer 3

if you had highlights or lighten your hair slightly it would lighten your skintone, or you would have to search instore to find a foundation that suited you. liquid eyeliner is easy to put on, take it from a quarter of the inner eye out to the end and flick up slightly for that eqyptian look for a night out. you could wear any colour lipstick, buy a few and match to what you are wearing or your nailcolour. pale pink lips can double as blusher and gives your skin a fresh dewy look. almay have a good eyeshadow collection and lipsticks. clinique have a great eyeshadow in a tube with inbuilt spongetip, easy to put on and you can use it in the socket, then blend it.

Answer 4

A good tip for eyeliner if your looking to have smokey eyes is to put it on the inside of your eyes and perhaps if you want little flicks on the edges. It all depends on the shape of your eyes. I have quite round eyes so this suites me as it makes my eyes more almond and exotic looking, if you have small eyes though eyeliner on the insides might make them look too small. I would also recommend benetint by benefit makeup. It suits all skin colours and is easy to use. Dab a few drops on the apples of your cheeks and rub in. It gives a lovely blushed look and makes you look more healthy. you can also stain your lips with it and then put lip balm or lip gloss on top to give a little sheen. You can wear it on its own or with foundation, and it lasts ages so is good value.

Answer 5

Sounds like you should stick with golds, browns and maybe a bit of color around your eyes. However makeup tips, site unseen is never a good idea. I suggest you visit a makeup counter at your local mall. Este Lauder has always been good to me. They will help you try diffent things and show you what looks best on you. It doesn't cost anything for a walk up consultation and you don't have to buy anything. Be serious and look like you want advice and they'll give it to you.

Answer 6

omg you have the same exact skin pigment as i do, hair color, and eye color! i dont have any older sisters either. i just learned from friends. just wear some nice purple eyeshadow,gold, and maybe soft blues. they look so nice. green is also a good color too. do not go for to bright colors. the key to wearing makeup is to look like you have none on. you want colors that will blend in with your skin. maybe some very light pink blushes, and glossy lip gloss. lol. umm...usually i get caramel color lipgloss. you can put eyeliner on top and bottom. i just usally put it on the bottom though. good luck!

Answer 7

Please don't use eyeliner on both top and bottom!! I think younger girls who do that look like hookers. Just wear in on the top and you will do fine. Also, use light shades of pink blush and a tinted lip gloss. I don't know what color lip gloss, you just have to try them to see what looks good on you. Wal-Mart, Target, and K- Mart have a nice cheap selection to choose from. If you to to a cosmetic counter, they can give you a makeover so you can see what colors work for you. Then if you want to you can buy from them, or just remember the colors and then go to any of the stores I just mentioned and find something similar to them.

Answer 8

Just mess around with different stuff its fun and you will see what suits you like try doing one eye with one colour and eyeliner and the other with a different colour you can really find out what suits and what you like by seeing the differences between them .Tinted moisturiser is great for getting an even look (don't put too much on and make sure to blend to your neck don't want a make up line)and a nice bronzer to hi-light your cheeks .enjoy have fun with it

Answer 9

well yes no need for foundation and a bronzer swept all over with a nice pinky blusher and lipgoss because its summer and peach brown pink eyeshadows and top and bottom eyeliner

but make sure the tops liquid one

Answer 10

for your skin..if you need cover-up, i suggest dream matte mousse by maybelline [i think]. if you want to wear eyeliner, it goes on the bottom eyelid. you put it from the outside corner of your eye ALMOST to your tear duct. dont get it in your tear duct because that can burn and cause irritation. for lip color, i recommend something lightly colored but not a neutral color..maybe a light transparent pink or something like that. some light blush may do good. a light rose or something. eyeshadow would be best if done either matching your lips and blush, or a neutral color. it goes just on your eyelid. i suggest like a beige or something.

Answer 11

I think eyeliner would look great. On dark brown eyes brown eyeliner looks very nice, you can do the bottom aswell widens your eyes. Golds, neutral earth tones look really good. Pink looks really nice with dark skin (btw your description of yourself sounds much like myself) Bronzer instead of blush looks really good! lips- i think a slightly tinted lipgloss works very well.

Answer 12

When I first started to wear makeup I just wore whatever I got my hands on, but now since I'm older I know what looks good on me and what doesn't. If u want to know what would look good on u, u could go to www.covergirl.com and fill out the surveys and see what they think. Or if u have the money, u could go to Dillards or any place where they sell cosmetics (department store) and have them do ur makeup. They give really good advice and they know what they r talking about. Its up to u on what u decide to do.

Answer 13

Buy yourself a makeup pallete with a good mixture of colours, invite all your girly friends round and have a night in front of the mirror experimenting and sharing ideas with your friends, oh and some chocolate always goes down well. Have fun.

Answer 14

In the House of Frazer in Oxford Street, you can get a free make up trial. Its very good. Even in big fashion stores outside of London - you can get a free make up trial from the sales girls. They will match colours to the tone of your skin, and around the eyes.

Answer 15

there are some fab pastel shades of eyeshadow out at the moment which would look great on your skin, rimmel do some great metalic cream shadows these look great just above your lashes best applied with the tip of your finger, then team it with some dark brown or black eye liner along your bottom lashes and some good mascara i recomend any from maberline. good luck!!!!

Answer 16

i think with your skin tone you should where the light browns or a goldish type deal and for your lipstick, you should go with either a light pink or gold.what i do with my eyeliner is i pull down the bottom of my eye and i put it on where its not going in my eye but its not going out either. and for the top, i just put it as close to the eyelashes as possible, then i put the eyeshadow on.

Answer 17
