Answer 1

Honey Smoky eyes is the way to go here's what ya need to do::

The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue & peach base with green hue.

Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base. I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.
Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.

Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smokey eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner & the key is to 'smudge it'. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.

Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist 'mousse' consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe & pearl.

Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base & eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line & blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.

Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match & blend color with a Q-tip if need be.

Finish with several coats of volumnizing mascara. Tried & true mascaras (featured in 'Elle' magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara & L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. 'Elle's writer says they are the best volumnizers she's tried.

I think smokey eyes would look..well...smokin' with your ensemble! Go light on the eyeliner though, you don't want to look demon-like or anything. The heaviest shadow should be at the crease of your lid, and on the lid itself, but don't overdo it. Lightly apply it in a fanning motion upwards, but not all the way up to your brow. Use black mascara. You may want some suble blush and gloss, but when applying makeup, always have just one part of your face that you want to stand out ( in this case, your eyes.) Covergirl and Maybelleine are the cheapest, but good quality makeups and can be found at pretty much any drugstore or grocery store. Good luck babe :)

The best eye makeup for darker hair is a black or charcoal. The kind i use isnt a stick or liquid. It is a jar of gellish eyeliner. Apply it on the inside of your eye and on the top as close to your lash line as you can. Light brown eyeshadow with a shimmer would look really nice.

Answer 4

Stick to the bronze and brown family since you're wearing red and have somewhat hazel-ish eyes. You could even splash a little dark green on your eye lids only, but I would suggest visiting a make-up counter like Dior or Lancome. I know they are not all that cheap but you don't have to buy everything, just buy a mascara or lip gloss, two must haves. Have fun!!!

Prom makeup guide:

Prom night is a special occasion and most girls would be eager to get their makeup done to perfection. You can think of having your makeup professionally applied. But ensure that you have a trial done in advance so that you can choose the kind of makeup you are comfortable in. Typically prom makeup costs about $30 to $50. Do not blindly follow fashion trends. Let your makeup reflect the kind of personality you are. Whether you want to be soft and romantic or wild and dramatic, your prom makeup can be matched to your dress and hairstyle. Take into account your features; bone structure, skin tone and hairstyle when trying out the perfect look for prom night. Though you are going to be really excited about it and will probably spend hours with friends discussing your makeup and dress, give yourself enough sleep to banish those tired eyes. Some departmental stores or salons offer consultation and advice on prom makeup.

You need to check for a foundation that matches your skin tone. Choose a foundation that doesn't give you a chalky look but lends a healthy and radiant glow. Don't ignore problem areas such as dark circles under the eyes. Blend the foundation well into your neck and hairline. Use matte powder to eliminate shine. This always serves well to look your best in the photographs. You can look back on them years down the line and still marvel at how wonderful you looked. The trick lies in using just enough powder and not look caked up.

You can get yourself all set for prom night by doing your makeup yourself. Try out tips and tricks to highlight your best features and get all set to dazzle at the party. An excellent makeup tip for this prom is to sport nude colored lips. When this look is complemented with smoky eyes, the overall effect is stylish. A glamorous look is trendy this prom season. You can coat your eyes with natural shades like gold and beige and use dark liner along the lashes. Go in for long fake eyelashes to make your eyes stand out. Black or brown mascara flatters most skin tones. A touch of vanilla eye shadow on your brow bone and your eyes can work their magic!

Don't go overboard in your makeup. Overly applied blush can leave you looking ghastly. Brush off excess blush with a cotton ball. A dusting of pink blush should suffice for young skins. Fill in holes in the brow with the brow pencil but do so with tiny strokes to appear natural. Clean up excess mascara that is smeared by wet lashes above and below the eyes. Use foundation wisely to hide blemishes and create an even skin tone. You can go in for cranberry, warm caramel or cocoa colored gloss for stunningly luscious lips. Complement your make up to suit your dress and hairstyle. Some glitter powder to your bare arms, shoulder and back can complete the entire look.

I would do bronzes and browns, nice suntan glowing colors. If you go with cheap brands of eyeshadow, just make sure you apply some foundation and powder to your eyelids before you actually apply the eyeshadow that will help keep it from creasing.
