What shades???

Question

I an extreamly fair with long dark brown hair and green green eyes....what kind of make up should I be whearing??? including lipstick!

Answer 1

Try this combination...

1. Shadow for lid: Soft gold in corners of eye and beneath the brow. Pearlized pink on the lid.

2. Crease Area: Shimmery lilac in the crease area.

3. Liner: Deep plum

4. Beneath Eye: Lilac smudged beneath lashes

5. Mascara: Black

6. Blush: Medium Apricot (While practicing these colors, try playing around with placement at the same time.)

7. Lips: Vanilla Apricot. Imagine an apricot color combined with a soft vanilla brown.

* Electric Green Eyes (Preferred Age Group: under 20)

Brows:

Touch up if necessary. Fill in bare spots with shadow or pencil. Be sure to brush brows to soften color.

Highlighter:

Pale green with a silky pearl sheen.

Lid Shadow:

The color of your shadow should be a more intense shade of a shiny green than that used as a highlighter. Brush it onto the inner corner of the lid, and intensify as you reach the outer corner.

This will make the eyes appear wider. Do the reverse if your eyes are too far apart.

Crease:

Using a brush, work the shadow from the lid right into the highlighter.

Liner:

To set off the green, apply a narrow line of intense black.

Mascara: Black

* Using peaches, roses and aubergine...

1. Shadow for lid: peach

2. Crease Color: No color in the crease area.

3. Liner: Aubergine (grayed purple)

4. Beneath Eye: A little of the above liner beneath the lower lashes, placement depending on eye shape. Encircling the entire eye can sometimes make the eye look smaller. Start with a little on the outer corners and check the effect as you go.

5. Mascara: Black. Just one layer for a natural look.

6. Blush: We are combining two colors for our blush... a rose and a peach combination. Be sure to blend well.

7. Lips: Start with a light application of peach for the first layer and then pick up a little rose and blend it into the peach.

* If you have brown hair
Eyes:

Dust bone shadow all over the eyelid and medium brown on the lid from lashline to crease. Use mahogany as a liner.

Lips:

Lip color with brown undertones and a hint of pink or plum work best for brunettes.

Cheeks:

Choose a shade of pink that looks like the color of your cheeks when they're naturally flushed.

* Bright - Eye Brunette
Skin: Porcelain, Light Olive
Hair: Medium to Dark Brown
Eyes: Bright Blue, Blue-Grey, Blue-Green

Suggested Eye Color Makeup
Eye Liner: Blue, Black, Grey, Purple
Highlighter: Pale Blue, Pink, Grey, Ivory
Mascara: Black, Navy, Black-Brown Eye
Shadow: Grey, Blue, Purple, Turquoise

Answer 2

I say if you want you eyes to stand out. Then wear a brown eyes shadow. Not too dark though. Almost like a darker tan on the outside with a light beige on the inside. That would make your eyes "pop" then a little bit of blush, and some lip gloss. I am not that big of a fan of lipstick. I prefer gloss. I think it looks better! Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Brown, green, and purple/violet go best with green eyes. Reds and dark/hot pinks for the lipstick would look good, but not too much.

Answer 4

The best way to determine this is to go to the store, get the sample make-up, and put a dab on your wrist. If it's REALLY BRIGHT, it's not what you need. I have brown hair and am fish-belly white and I tend to use cinnamon as my eye-shadow, sand for lipstick, and the palest blush I can find with ivory foundation. Dark brown on the mascara. Really, just test things out. Light, light colors are going to be what you need.

Answer 5

well for your eyes I would suggest neutral browns and then a pink for the pop. Also a dark brown eyeliner won't be as harsh as a black. For lipstick I think you should stick to the neutrals again possibly even a plum would look very nice on you.

I would stay away from the hot pinks!

Answer 6

since you have green eyes, it will look nice to put a little green on your eyelids. don't go overboard. only put enough makeup to enhance what you already have, not change your entire face. like the first person said, less is more. for lipstick you don't have to go dark red (unless you like that) but i personally like a light pink that doesn't overpower my face. sometimes you don't ever really need lipstick and you can use lip gloss just to make it shiney.

Answer 7

I think you're really pretty... Okay, so here's my suggestion for the make-up you could wear... You could put light pink powder on your cheeks, pink or light pink lip gloss [with glitters that shines is better (I prefer lip gloss rather than lipstick)] on your lips, and for your eyes, you can put light brown eye shadow and don't forget the eye liner!

Answer 8

I am also very fair skinned with brown hair (blue eyes though). I wear a lot of soft colors and natural colors. When I wear make-up most people can't really tell except my face looks fresh and soft. Try lip glosses and shimmer eyeshades, they look natural and fresh.

Answer 9

the best make up to wear with your face would be light colours. because you have such fair skin, you don't want to put to much make up on, especualy if it's really dark. try a pink eye shadow to make your eyes pop, some light pink blush, black maskara and brow/gold/pink/natural lipstick/gloss

Answer 10

peach eyeshadow will bring out the green in your eyes. it does it for me. and lipstick u should wear like a darker peach with gloss over it. itll look good on you. it does for me.
