Answer 1

hiya
im a beauty therapist and work using demalogica
we do a really good summer skin range in starter packs at 19.99 which boost your natural skin colour as ur tanned u should use the best of what you've got
and not block up your pores in summer
if ur going out try mixin ur foundation with a moisturiser best suited to your skin which will hydrate the skin and give u a glow with out the make up lookin heavy, or demalogica do a tinted moisturiser with sun potectors in them.

if you going to wear make up i.e eyeshadow.. you should stick to bright colours i.e hot, greens etc
also in fashion as u no is gold and white, try applyin a golden highlighter to top of eyebrow line and cheek bones
hope this helped xxx

In the summer time, i think it is best to put on make up but think "less is more". You want to have a summer time glow of health and vitality, and so for you, I would put on a base, eye liner, mascara, blush, and then just add some color on your lips. You want to look as natural as possible. There are plenty of products out there for lips where the color stays on for a long time.

At night, you could use some gold sparkly eyeshadow, etc. Any color would look good on your really, as long as it is a darker shade. You probably want to stay away from pale pinks, etc. Personally, I love lancome mascara, bare minerals base, physician's formal blush and loreal lipsticks.

Answer 3

I think greens are the best for brown eyes, I have brown eyes and I love my emerald green eyeshadow in the summer! Blues and greens look lovely with a tan!

Urban Decay are really really good at staying put (if you are in the UK then larger Boots stores have Urban Decay stands) other than that look on ebay or www.urbandecay.com i think it is.
