Question

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y285/chi_cchick/j.jpg

Do you have any advice about how I can make my complexion look better(pink undertones- ugh!), and what would make me look nice, sophisciated and slimmer? I want my eyeliner to look like this: http://img16.echo.cx/img16/6900/hilarybutton0gj.gif but I'm not sure if it would suit me or not.

Also I would like some advice about make-up in general. What types to buy, where to find good quality stuff without wasting money and also how to apply it.

I'm 17, and people mistake me for being 14 all the time. I want to look more grown up!

Please help, its definately much appreciated!

Argh I can't choose the best answer without feeling bad!

Answer 1

Oh poor you but trust me we all look like that (and worse) with no slap on. Ok girl, the reason why you look so young is you are dead red. Get a foundation to tone the colour down then you will have a lovely even complexion and it will give you more radiant look without looking oily. Big tip too is to always use anti shine powder as your skin looks like mine so I guess it is oily. To do your eyes like that, I suggest you use a lighter concealor ubder your eyes to make your eyes stand out. Those eyes are not hard to get by the way you just need an eyelash curler to make your eyes boom. You have lovely lips so use a super glossy lipgloss to show them off. With eyes and lips ike that knw - one will be able to resist. The problem with you is that you have a childs face in a nice way noy anyother so your only ploy will to try to dress more sophisticated and act older - that is the key. Anyway good luck with it, I am 14 and people think I am 17. Trust me.

Answer 2

For everyday, I would use warm browns for your eyeshadow - it will bring out your eye color so nicely. Consider purples for when you want to kick it up a little.

I think eye makeup is the best way to add sophistication (and make yourself look your age). Also, I notice that your eyes turn down a little on the outside corners. This also makes you look younger. You can try the Hilary Duff eye liner look, but going too dark on the liner may emphasize the downturn of your eyes. Instead, you might want to focus on the upper lid, and don't line the lower one or only line it lightly. Same goes for mascara, really focus on your upper lashes (and get a curler).

Instead of really heavy liner, try getting your shadow just perfect and let the liner be in the supporting role. Put a light champagne color over your whole lid. Then, take a medium brown (like a taupe) for your lid between the crease to the lash line. Finally, put a darker brown (like mocha) on the crease, making it darker on the outer 1/3 of the lid. And blend it, baby. Then look at how blue your eyes appear.

Answer 3

Ok, well Hilary Duff. You can't very well make your eyeliner look like hers because, well professionals speed 30-1 hour trying to get that look. But if you want to try you can use liquid eyeliner. It's a mess but is easily cleaned up. Seeing your picture I'm not sure it would work for you. I would try a thin line of brown pencil on the bottem and a thicker line on the top. Try a smoky
look ...try...browns. Yeah, use browns. A light shimmer under the brow, and light brown under the brow and a darker shade on the lid.

Answer 4

hello chick,
you have got a very cute face. i think 2 know what suits ur face you have 2 first try it. the eye-liner you want 2 use on ur eye is called the smoky look eye-liner. it is very simple. firstly ur face should be totally dry bfore applying eye make up. use a very thin line of black eye- liner on ur eye-lid n below. it should look continues. the below black line should be almost inside the eye. now when ur done with this take a purple eye shadow. use a very small sponge brush 2 apply the eye shadow coz u r not goin 2 apply it all over the eye. just smuge the eye shadow slowly n steadily. it must give the smoky n shady effect. give it a tapering edge. after this if u feel that itz not that visible then take very little compac on ur finger n juss give a contrast between the smoke on the eye lid ur bare lid. i hope u look stunning. please blow dry ur hair inwards . this will give u a fluffy look .

Answer 5

You should be glad you look younger. In a few years you'll be greatful. I know right now you want to look grown up but don't be in a hurry. You have a Liv/Mia Tyler look going. I think you could do that eye make-up. Maybe use colors that are a little bit lighter (avoid the racoon look), and good foundation like the other girl said. I have pink undertones in my face too. Try using cornsilk makeup. It's excellent for oily, pink skin. (although I don't think you have it, or at least I can't tell) Good luck! :)

Answer 6

My basic advice for you is about shading,,,
put some foundation (darker than ur skin) under your cheek-bone and lighter foundation up your cheek-bone, this trick will make your face more sharp...give plittle pink (but i recommended orange, if u like...) blush to make you looks health or add bronze for special ocassion...
You can play colour with your eyes, i like some silver eye-shadow too made little dramatic accent...and it works to open up my eyes =)
Final touch of lip-gloss on your lips will made you ready to go out =)

Answer 7

you're very particularly. i like the 1st one individually. i think of it would bypass nicely with your dermis tone. I went from a brown to blonde, yet I relatively have very mild dermis. basically ensure that as quickly as you do it, you get a colour-risk-free moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Coloring dries out your hair and could reason it to interrupt off. i prefer to propose Headshot via Bedhead. that's what I relatively have been making use of, and it smells sturdy and works nicely.

Answer 8

try putting revlon's eye liner n a bit mascarra on ur eyelashes n dont forget to put a bit heavy layer of ebony,it gives matured n elegant look.

Answer 9

Nothing to worry. You look cute. You can ad up some more style by puting makeup and selecting hair styles. AND HAVE A SELF ESTEEM.
