I recently went from very blonde to a dark brunette! I have fair skin that tans easily and very blue eyes. What make-up colors would look best on me?

i say Plums whether its for the lip color or eye makeup. The darkness or lightness of the shade depends on your skin color but those are colors that usually look good with darker hair. I know because Ive been a brunette all my life and I wear those colors most of the time because I get so many compliments on it, really.

It all really depends on your tone of skin actually..if u have pink tones in your skin or gold tones or maybe bluish tones... u can usually get ur colors of ur skin done at a cosmetic counter at a Department store along with helpfull hints on how to put on makeup. That is a Department store that has a live cosmetic consultant available or an Avon representative can do it . Anyways .. If you cant get that done you should stick with neutral colors not metallic ones. Such as soft blues maybe kohl shades on your eyes for eyeliner.. Stay away from blacks.Except in mascara ...but you can try blue mascara and brown ... Try out a fewof these colors for eyeliner and rouge on your underside of your wrist for the best result (that is closet to your face in skintone unless you have a tan). On your cheekes( Rouge) you might try rose or for evening a plum shade and maybe one with a small but of glitter mixed in for evening use. Just experiment but dont overdue it whatever shade you use., and have fun! :)

For eyeshadow I think that a green would go good with brunette, and depending on the shade of your eyes make them look more green. For cheek, I would just leave it a solid color unless there is dim lighting, then put a slight blush (not too far from your skin tone) on. Then with lips just a clear gloss.

Beige, brown, tan, gold, grey's. Some shades of blue looks really good as well as greens & purples. Off whites can also look really, really good.
Lipsticks, again, brown shades look good as well as light colors. Sometimes a darker peach-ish color looks really nice.
A medium colored blush. Dark mascara.
For cover up usually a natural light beige is good.
I have really dark hair and blue-green eyes. I have a fairly light complexion and I find these colors to be perfect. Especially gold!!!

Cool tones and warm tones. Many people can wear both. It really depends on your clothing too. Isn't it nice, I just went from very light highlites all over to very dark copper with caramel highlites.
LOVE IT!

im brunette and i like earthy tones. use brownish or bronze lip color..or pinkish browns, make sure they're subtle. stay away from wildly colored eye makeup.
