use a light foundation, and a good concealer to cover blemishes and under eye circles. Try L'Oreal Translucide foundation and a concealer such as the revlon skinlights one.

Then apply a light dusting of powder such as the L'oreal t zone balance pressed powder, and remeber to get a colour that matches your skin tone exactly.

Then find a nice eyeshadow, try and get one in a duo, such as a brown eyeshadow and a lighter coloured one. Apply the brown all over your lid but no higher up than the crease. Then get the lighter one in the inside corners of your lids and blend them in towards the middle.

Get a good brown/black mascara and apply 2 coats to your lashes.

Step out in style!!!!

i took makeup class, so this is easy. the make is to refresh you and make your self feel good about your self, its not to hide your self or to change you. now for colors, i have a brown eyes and the same skin tone and i have chestnut hair, and theses are the colors that look best on me; for the eyes light on the masscara, for day time go with skin tone or pink colors and maybe some white, and for evening you can still go light on the masscara,but you can put on some eye liner, and colors; light blues, brownish,try a tanish-red, and you can add a bit of glitter. now for the lips if you have bigger lips you want more of your skin tone color but if you have smaller go brighter. tip: line your lips w/ liner, fill with liner, then add color! and all so if you lips are smaller you can do the liner a bit out if the the real lip line, but try to stay with your real lip line. blush: do some thing that gose well with you skin tone, just lightly brush it on or it will look like your covered on you. put on some powder, conceler and foundation on thats your skin tone.but go ahead and experiment with different things. one more thing; some one told me once the beauty is 90% whats in side and 10% and sitting up. one more thing, you want people to see you not the makeup first thing. good luck! :] p.s. "Real Beauty" is the best makup book ever plus it come with a dvd! good luck!

purple and green eyeshadow look great with brown hair and brown eyes and if you have freckles you don't need any blush use a light lipgloss and use a little more eyeliner and mascara than you usually do that will make you look a little different and remember you don't want to over do it

Go to one of the make up counters in the mall and ask for some ideas or a makeover. There you could try out all different colors and they can also give you some advice.

Check out the Mary Kay Virtual Makeover at http://www.marykay.com/daryn_anderson for different colors that you can use. Then go to the Application Tips section for how to correctly apply your makeup.

That would be hard to answer online. Go to a department store make up counter and ask for a makeover. They are free, and you don't have to buy the products if you don't want to. See what colors and types of products they use. If you like, buy from them or somewhere else.

Wear something that will stand out.
If you're wearing something lime green or in the greenish shade, try using a navy blue or dark green eyeliner instead of black.
If you wanna look a little more extreme try an unnatural color, like blue or green.
