Answer 1

Stop wearing so much eye makeup and you will look even more like you!

Eye makeup is sexy as hell if used in moderation, but you can cross the line from cutie to hooker really easily.

Answer 2

Sweetie, It sounds like you don't look like you with all the make up on, and that's why people say mean things. Just use eyeliner from the middle of your eye to the outer corner and mascara on your top lashes only. A lot of girls put way to much eyeliner and mascara on to get a "sexy" look - but it seldom looks very sexy. I would also look at using a light shade of eye shadow ( I like champagne by Cover Girl ) and use that right above your lashes/liner and right below your eyebrow. Are your eyebrows trimmed and shaped? Sometimes unruly, thick eyebrows can lead to a darker look for the eyes. Trim and shape them too - you can get that done at a salon if you are worried about making a mistake. Use a lip gloss - not lipstick and apply a fresh looking blush very lightly around the apples of your cheeks. Don't use body glitter - unless you are going to a special event like prom. :)

Answer 3

Get rid of that body shimmer. That's just wrong. If you want your skin to glow, use something more subtle like Jergens Body Glow Moisturizer. Black eyeliner can be every hash on most skin tones, so go with a brown instead, it can be very pretty. Also black mascara doesn't suit everyone. Unless you have black hair, black eyelashes and tanned skin, then go with a black brown, it will be much better. For eyeshadow, get something that will compliment your skin tone and not something that matches your outfit. That's the number one mistake. It should go with your skin. So, shimmery browns, coppers, taupes look good on most people. Good luck!

People will start liking you and moreover u will start loving your self !
I hope my advice will help you in a way !

Answer 5

What i found to be perfect for "how much" is foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and mascara. Try using sometime the eyeshadow under your eye. Giving you a liner look, but not dark like a liner. Or using a light shadow, with a lighter eye liner. Go beyond the black. Color eye liner is fun, and not that hard to pull off. Or just wearing the black eye liner on the top lid, and leaving the eyeshadow on the bottom. Putting the liner on top opens your eye, and isn't too much. PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!!!!

Answer 6

Instead of wearing black eyeliner and mascara, try using black/brown or brown. It isn't as harsh as the straight black on your eyes. Also, depending on what color eye shadow you are wearing, you may want to change to a more natural color or just try to not wear as much eye shadow. I think that will help you still look yourself, just a little less "trash" as others call it.

Answer 7

i have a solution for you where you can use what you still have.

first apply black eyeliner around your eyes as usual. then take a slightly damp q-tip and remove some of the liner from the area by your nose. its okay to have it dense at the outer corners, but keep it as thin as possible on the inner corners.

then take a damp q-tip and rub it in your black shadow - or another color - and go over the eyeliner with it. THIS WILL SOFTEN THE LINER and make it look smooth and not trashy.

then apply mascara. i love dark eyes, dont give it up! just soften it up!

Answer 8

O.K, first of all, forget the eye liner, and unless your eye lashes are white or cream, forget that too. For the eye shadow just use a soft neutral color, or a pinkish color, and don't put it up to your eyebrow!! and body shimmer is awesome, just go too over the top, and for lipstick, just wear clear, or pink lip gloss, it really brings out your face.

And lastly, if you have make-up, it's not really you, so with all that junk on your face, you can't say that's what you really look like.

good luck!!!

Answer 9

I was talking to my significant other a few days ago about what he thought of the make-up people wear. He looked at me and told me that if he ever found a tube of lipstick in my drawers he would need to have a serrious talk with me.

What you have to realize is that, no matter what you are trying to cover with make-up, alot of people like the look of natural skin. If you really see the need to use make-up remember, everything in moderation. It doesn't have to be caked on. You also don't have to use the dark colors to make it pronounced. Sometimes the most subtle things catch people's attention.

Answer 10

DO NOR USE LIQUID LINER, use a pencil to draw the line for a "softer" look.

Black mascara is best, keep your choice.

Which colour of eye shadow you youse? you should never wear only one colour, you should choose two or three similar matching shades. The darker colour in the inner eyelids and lighter in outer corner.....and white above your eyelids.
At night you should use gold for eyelids and silver for above eyelids.

You should use body shimmer only on special occasions like a party or wedding.

use lighter ones... brown eyeliner, brown mascara,
lighter shades of eye shadow... like skin tone, touch of almost invisible, or use lighter shimmer...
nope, dont use body shmmer too much of it makes you look like a bright walking xmas tree with all the shinny stuff...
a little pressing will do, not all areas.
theres no wrong in having a makeup...
but what makes you pretty is your true face and color...
dont be so insecure to hide your real beauty. people will love you for who you are because of what they see is the real face not a pretty face because of a make up. they will appreciate you if you are most of the simple look of all.
just dont forget to pt sunblock on face. ^_^
