Question

Answer 1

Choose an eyeshadow kit that has some bold colors in it. The kits come with several shadows that work together, just follow the instructions on the kit and experiment a little. 3000 calorie mascara helps build up length and volume of eyelashes. A good thing to do is go to the mall and get a free makeover from one of the cosmetics counters. They can lead you to exactly the right colors.

Answer 2

You should go with medium gold and medium green eyeshadow. It will bring out your olive skin tone and brown eyes and hair. Then use a black eyeliner or liquid eyeliner to bring it out a bit more. For the mascara, just use black mascara. You can go with the xxx volume by I think loreal or cover-girl. That will add more volume to your eyelashes. Don't overdo your eye liner and mascara though. Put a little lip gloss on your lips and you'll look really pretty. Don't' worry, even if you don't wear make-up, you're already pretty.

Answer 3

If you want to stay more neutral and still bring out your eyes, the thing that has worked best for me has been to do the smokey eye look. Because you have brown eyes, if they are dark brown, I would use a navy color... if they are lighter, use black. Line your eyes with either color, then go over the liner with a shadow of the same shade. Take the same color, fill in the crease, then use a shade or two lighter to fill in the lid. It is gorgeous, and gives you a flirty "cat eye" look

Answer 4

okay...your right...stop with boring colors...you have bold colors on your body...like brown eyes and brown hair...i am a pro with makeup....
1. use these colors...go buy a purple kit with other colors with it...
2. buy the one with three colors in it....
3. put the darkest color (which should be some sort of purple) on the crease of the eye...take the next dark color and put it on your eye lid...take the lightest color and put it on your brow line...above where you put the dark color....

If you dont like the purple...try different colors but use the same tecnique for a while until you can find one of you own...

As far as mascara...with that type of dramatic look...put 3 coats on with any mascara....you can use any type of mascara..you just need to know how to use it.............good luck

Answer 6

A few colors that should make your eyes stand out are plum, violet, rosy-pink, rosy-plum, coppery-gold, silvery-grey, sable bronze, slate blue, periwinkle, olive, jade.

For liner, try deep brown, navy, hunter-green, violet, charcoal (on top lash line only, lining under your eyes will only make them look smaller).

For mascara, black is good for you...but deep blues, plums, and greens add a funky twist. I love Lancome Definicils mascara, it really lengthens dramatically! :~)
