I was thinking about the typical mascara, blush and eyeshadow. I'm asian, dark brown eyes, usually palish yellow skin, i have really long eyelashes, glasses (without a rim), "movie star" lips (aka when you take a profile of someone's face, the lips and nose are aligned in a straight line) and i still tend to use cover up. Do you have any suggestions for make up for me? What colors of eyeshadow or lipgloss do you think would compliment my face? What inexpensive (yet good quality, i hope) brand names are there? And where to get them? (hopefully in the U.S.... More specifically washington state)

Oh and by the way, i'm still a teen so i don't need a whole lot of make-up.

Well, it sounds like you don't need to worry about enhancing your lashes or lips too much, which is a good thing. You may want to try clear mascara, since your lashes are already long and dark. Clear mascara is sort of like hair gel for your lashes- it holds them in place and sticks them up so they fan out better. It also would be good for avoiding smudges on your glasses. Cover Girl has a brand of clear mascara that works really well. I'm assuming you have dark brown/black hair, so I think a black eyeliner on just the top lid would be far more striking that any particular color of eye shadow. If you still want to use a shadow in addition, I would stick with a medium brown or bronze with a hint of shimmer to make your eyes pop.
For blush, I have not met one person who does not look good in a peach-colored blush, regardless of their skin tone. It works well with both warm and cool skin tones. Try one with the word "tangerine" or "peach" in the name. Apply it only to the apples of your cheeks (that's the part that sticks out when you smile wide) and blend it back toward your ears. (I like Cover Girl Pretty Peach)
For lips, I think a nice shimmery gloss would best show off your full lips. Try a clear, nude, or pale pink gloss, and try to get one that shimmers without being sticky. Right now I love Urban Decay lip gloss, which you can find at sephora.com in a variety of shades. I think the nude color gloss goes best with every outfit, but pink is nice too for that "girlie" feeling. You will look fresh-faced and beautiful without looking too made-up. Good luck!

I wouldn't use a mascara because you already have long lashes. I would use an eyelash tint. Revlon makes one and its really nice. For blush, I would do a peach color or a rustic pink. Even a browny-pinky color would like nice on you. As far as eyeshadow goes, I would use a purpley-brown, bronze, or pastel colors because that would look nice. Lipgloss colors...a bright pink, clear, bronze, or a peach color. My favorite store brands are Maybelline, Revlon, and loreal. Good Lcuk with everything!

well, since u already have long dark eyelashes, a saw use clear mascara. it lifts ur lashes and fans them away from ur eyes just like regular mascara, but u don't need any color in it, so clear is perfect for u (i use clear sometimes, but my lashes aren't long enough to use it all the time). the brand of clear mascara i use is Jordana and i bought it at Dollar N' Things at my local mall. you can actually buy tons of good quality make-up at dollar stores (the only kind of make-up you shouldn't buy at dollar stores is face make-up like powder or concealer. but everything else is good).

and since u have full lips already, you don't need to make them look fuller. i suggest clear lip gloss (goes with every outfit and everyone), a light pink (goes with everything and everyone) and for you a bronzey or sheer brown lipgloss (like the Chocolate flavored/scented lipgloss from Victoria's Secret i bought and fell in love with. it's ah-mazing.)

and for eyeliners, then a gold glitter eyeliner, silver glitter eyeliner, and black would look good on you and everyone else (i won these colors and they work wonders!) i would suggest combining two of them (like black on the inside of the lower lashes and gold or silver on top and under the lashes on the bottom) the combination looks ah-mazing!!

and gold, white, natural shades, and black eyeshadow are universally flattering. i suggest since you're still a teen not using black very often, but more like gold and natural shades since they...well, look natural! and after all, the secret to make-up is to make it look natural and like you're not wearing any at all.

i never wear blush so i can't help you there. sorry. (i always hate how it looks on me, but love how it looks on others! plus i always feel like an old lady putting it on, i have no idea why, it works wonders for every other person on the planet, but not me. lol.)

edit: i forgot to tell you, you can buy the three eyeliners at Hot Topic for $2 each. it's the cheapest price i've ever seen for eyeliner, and it's ah-mazing quality!

steel Cage tournament. that's used incredibly frequently now and that's a foul factor because of the fact gimmick fits could purely be used at a pair of PPVs a year, by no capability on Smackdown or uncooked.

The true art of wearing makeup is to not look made up. But, from what I see, you don't need any makeup. You are beautiful without it.
