Question

I ahve dark brown hair and eyes, i have olive skin that tans really well in the summer....

what colours and bits of make up would suit me the most? In the summer i never know what is best to do.

what types and brands to people mostly use?

Answer 1

If you tan well, you don't need any foundation so just put on sunscreen (for sun safety), then use a double mascara, one of those with a white lash building wand then a black colouring one. Maybelline do a great waterproof one, incase you decide to go swimming. Then finish it off with some natural pinky or plummy coloured lip gloss/balm. The body shop do good lighlty coloured glossy balms, which also keep your lips supple and kissable! This way you have some make-up to emphasise your eyes and lips but still look fresh and can top up your summer tan safely. Enjoy your summer!

Answer 2

i do 2 have the same features and I find " Almost Makeup" from clinique is great it has a built in sunscreen and is light weight. it comes in 4 different colors also I say that MAC has some great eye shadows that really do stay on maybe soft pinks or even a white frost with just a little mascara. I am a makeup artist for MAC and I love it I think u should call a MAC counter and get a mini makeover it's free unless it's an event or weekend.

Answer 3

-i use a tinted moisturizer (No7) rather than foundation in the summer because its lighter on the skin and already contains SPF so you dont have to muck up your makeup during the day with suncream
-some bronzer natural collection) to bring out cheek bones
-lipgloss, i love Nivea Care and Shine because your lips can get dry in the summer

and maybe some mascara (maxfactor masterpiece is amazing)

Answer 4

I use Nicole Miller products. I'd say with your skin, eye and hair color that dark colors would be best for you. However, if you'd really like to know (from the professionals) you can go to www.marykay.com, and I believe you can upload a picture of yourself or use one of there models to help you determine which colors are best on you. I think that dark neutral colors with your dark skin, hair and eyes will do you the best!

Answer 5

Go into your local department store and ask one of the make up girls there. They are usually trained in make up and will be able to help you make the most of your natural skin colour. If you are in Britain go to Boots, John Lewis or Debenhams.

Answer 6

I agree with mel b above, go with a tinted moisturiser as it's so light in it's coverage and you don't want a face melting off in the heat do you?!

I personally use Benefits 'Rebel' tinted moisturiser as it comes in one shade only and it adapts to your skin tone (it's like magic!) I use this as an alternative to foundation when my skin is in a better condition.

Answer 7

Only wear a light cover of make up,natural colours,beige,brown,maybe some pink,i use maybelline mousse,and maybelline mousse bronzer which are great products!

Answer 8

Play up your natural beauty. Just use a shimmer on your face and body. Some gloss on your lips. Jergens and Dove work great, for a glow.

Answer 9

Definitely bronzes, golds, those sorts of tones. Keep it light tho! Instead of lipstick, go with a nice brown lipgloss. Have fun exerimenting!

Answer 10

I think according to ur description u would lookbetter off by keeping it simple and as far as possible keep it natural and heavy make-up is a BIG NO NO. whatever u do dont forget to keep it stylish .......
