I have fair skin, large dark brown eyes that kind of have that boring look that I want to change and make smaller, and black hair with some burgundy in it. Help?

For foundation and concealer, you should try Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals makeup; it's really natural and covers everything. You can get it at Sephora or Ulta.
You should try eyeshadow shades in plum, violet, amethyst, rosy-pink, gold, jade, dove grey, sable bronze, slate blue, olive green, heck, almost any color goes with brown eyes!
For liner, try violet, navy, hunter green, and deep brown. If applied all around the eyes, they'll look smaller.
For mascara, try deep brown (NOT black, which will be too harsh with your fair skin). Or you could just skip it, 'cause it makes eyes appear larger.
For cheeks, try shades of peachy-pink, light raspberry, and light cinnamon.
For lips, try shades of pinky-brown, sheer raspberry, and cinnamony-pink.
All applied with subtlty, of course! :~)

After you apply your foundation. Which should be the same as your skintone, not to dark not too light, sometime you might need too. when you use eyeshadows what ever is in your outfit you should bring it out. Use a couple of layers, not always earthtown. And then do some glitter or regular lip gloss. Really whatever eye shadows you use and the way u apply it can really make your eyes lighten up alot.

You already sound beautiful, but make-up that I would suggest is maybe a neutral eyeshadow all over your lid with a bit darker shade in the crease. That should make your eye more defined, and definitely less boring. I would also use liner on both your top and bottom eyelash lines.....as close to the lashes as possible, lining the eyes closes them in, causing them to appear smaller.

I dunno how old you are. But it sounds like you don't have boring look. If I were you I'd use blue eye shadow. To have big eyes is wonderful. One just has to learn how to make them the best asset on the face. Use them to your advantage. I myself use Cover Girl bronzer, but a little bit (I also have fair skin). Believe me a bronzer will change your appearance. Subtle blue eye shadow in combination with a slightly bronzed face, and some blush will change your look.

In order to give the appearance of smaller eyes, apply eyeliner to the inner lid of your eyes. When applying eyeliner to the inner eye, gently pull lid away from eye and draw a line along upper and lower inner eye rim.

To make your eyes smaller you use black all over your eyelid and to make it big u use lighter color such as light brown remember try new thing with make up soon you will have your own make up styles and you can become unique

Well, you sound pretty to me, but if you really want to bring out your eyes, use black eyeliner to make them stand out. You may want to try various kinds of blushes on your face, and you can also try to do something with your hair.

Based on your avatar, you look great. Easy with the make-up, highlight your cheekbones and eyes. Just a touch of color to your lips. Voila! You're done!

black eyeliner would make your eyes look smaller
dark, earth tone shadows
for all of your makeup stick with earth colors, natural colors (no purples or pinks or blues, no shimmer or glitter) and THIN eyeliner, don't over-do it...lash extension mascara
