Answer 2

Well, What to WORRY about such little things but this is what i to say about all this.....it depends on old you are as to as much of it to put on... i can't tell you what to wear but to be on the safe side here goes...you said your eyes are dark so we want to use a light color (pink,cream,blue) i mean light and frosted.put that shade all over the eyelid.from the lashes up the brow...next you want to take a little darker color(like a grey green, brown,blue) and blend with a q-tip or a brush or even your finger just below the brow area,,where when your eyes or open you have a crease there take it all the way out to the sides and make sure that it is blend ed(don't want to see where you started and stopped )if you think you need a liner make sure it is close to lash line and bring out to the corners, the blush should be one of the last things you'll have to do,,so run the brush over the blush and then tap it lightly before you apply.you're going to brush from the apple of your cheek and back torward the hairline.making sure you blend that well too.( the apple of your cheek is the bubble you have on your face when you suck in your cheeks) the last thing is your lips..this again all depends on which you like better and make sure you have it with you all night you so you can re-apply if needed...ooops! know what we almost forgot ? mascra.after you do the liner or just the shadow you may want to take the liner on the bottom lid..if so try to blend that out to the corners..your lashes now need to look full and curly. so i would suggest 2-3 coats.you don't have to wait to apply the second or third coat.do one right after the other , by letting it dry will only make the mascra clump. and WE DON"T WANT THAT....try all of this for a few days , don't get discorward if you can't get the hang just keep trying soon you will be able to do it in no time...go have some fun trying

Answer 3

What color eyeshadow? - I would say a dark brown in the crease of your eye.

What color lipstick/lip gloss - I personaly like clear lip gloss. So the lips just look glossy.

What color blush? - A light pink

What color eyeliner? - LIGHT black eyeliner.

I wouldn't recomend this amount of make-up for everyday use. I would just recomend a foundation for everyday use.

The colors and combinations and such depends on where your going, and how you want to look, and what your wearing.

Good Luck.

And I'd recomend getting professional help at a salon, or something.

Answer 4

eyeshadow color: you can never go wrong with browns, watch some soap operas, you'll see that they are mostly browns because it makes your eye color pop.
Otherwise, mauves are very nice. I use these colors as I have light brown eyes.
You should have listed your hair color as well.
Tan skin shows up reds, maybe that would be good for your lips. Don't go for ultra light colors like whites, light pinks. Maybe dark pinks. Otherwise your lips will be a focal point and not in a good way.
Blush, if you are using brown eyeshadow and red lipstick, should be in the red/brown tone. If you use pink lipstick then stick with pink blush.
Eyeliner, gray is really a nice one, as well as brown. Softness is key. Un-blended lines never look good. Black looks very harsh, only very young or goths can use this color best in my opinion.

Answer 5

i would go with a shimmery gold base and a brownish color for the highlights. And i would use Cream and sugar lip gloss from mary Kay. DOnt use lipstick during the summer! it smears under the heat and looks horrible! (unless its applied in the evenings of course say if youre on a date). Blush I would say a peachy rose and a dark brown eyeliner like the black-brown one from covergirl.

Answer 6

I am very tan with very dark brown eyes. Purple is an amazing color on us! whitish cream colors and browns also look nice. For lips I would deff stick to the browns or coral/pinks. I never use blush just bronzer because the browns deff look better on our cheeks then the pink. Eyeliner I just recently started to use a dark purple and a light purple I like the dark one better, but both look very nice. So in general browns and purples!

Answer 7

The less makeup the better you will look, but if you must, then I recomend just going to a store with some friends and truing some samples and they can help you decide which brand/ shade really looks the best on you. You could also go to a Mary Kay or Avon event with some friends and try the same thing. Make sure you have friends helping you, the folks behind the counter are there to sell makeup so not all of them will be as honest and helpful as you might expect.

Answer 8

I have the same skin and eye colors as you.
These are the best colors:
Eyes-Brown or black eyeliner, and gold tones are great for eyeshadows, so are greens. they really make my eyes pop.

Lips-Soft tinted lipglosses like softer pinks and brownish pinks look the best.

Blush-a brownish pink, and if you have the right color, peach would look fan-tastic!

Also-try brown mascara and an eyelash curler! And I don't usually use blush because with tan skin you can definately go with out!

Answer 9

try a mineral based powder this way youy can layer it on without it becoming too heavy; brushes do make a difference so if there is a problem area a conclear brush will help with this, for eyes mauve plums, peache colors and lavenders will bring out the color... a soft pink eyeliner pencil, plum to brown mascaras and a transparent lash gel in a blue or green will highlight colors...

Answer 10

Line your eyes with a turqouise color and smudge the bottom a bit. A medium gray on your eyes and a tiny bit of gold in the crease. A soft plum for your lips and gloss, and don't worry about blush.

Answer 11

Use a bright purple eyeliner, will make your brown eyes pop, and brown, beige and lilac eyeshadow. For your lips you can do a nude liner, nude lipstick and then a golden coral gloss. Blush should be a peachy color.
