What color makeup should I use?

Question

I have dark black hair, round face, deep brown eyes, and yellowish to olive skin tone... what would be the best color scheme to stick with?

Answer 1

I don't remember who told me...but i have the same...black hair. dark brown/black eyes...and a round face...i usually use a violet/maroon eyeliner...and make it a smokey look..but if you are unsure...i suggest you go to a cosmetic counter...I usually go to MAC make-up counter...and i let them do my make-up and as they do it...they'll give you tips....they can usually do if for you for free if you go during the weekday/weeknights because they'll charge on weekends...so i hope that helps!!

Answer 2

Ok since you have olive skin defintely stick to earthy tones like some darker browns and maybe some toned down greens for everyday wear and then for going out try some shimmery shadows but stick with the same color scheme, an eye shadow I love is called Amber Lights from MAC and I personally love the way it looks with my olive skin plus it would really bring out some of the lighter colors in your eyes as for blush go with a slighty tan pink I use Buff from MAC as well, then for lips try some light pink gloss and finally eyeliner should be dark brown or black and VOILA perfect :D

I think you should use an eyeshadow color that brings out your natural eye color. Almay Intense i-Color has a specific color that brings out your eye color. My eyes are blue and it really does work! If you don't want to get that then I would use a purple or a plum color. You could also try a brown that is a shade darker or a shade lighter than your eye color. Brown looks great on everyone! I hope this helps!

dark greens, maybe golds, and a little gray. do the smoky eye thing araound your eye, and bring some of the gray underneasth your eye, under the liner. you'll w3ant to use either clear lip gloss, or a deep lip stick. Make sure the greens are dark so that it doesn't pick up the yellow in your skin. hope this helps!

Answer 5

Well for eyeshadow a green or a tan would be nice. For foundation stick with a color slightly darker then your skin tone, same goes for mascara. Both brown and black liner work. It depends on your mood. Use a plum colored lip gloss; it will make your lips look amazing. Don't use a bronzer.

Answer 6

You should stick with a bronze to brown color. Not a dark brown though. A shimmery gold or bronze will look gorgeous on you

My website has a Virtual Makeover feature where youcan select the model that is closest to your own face and try out different colors on her to see what would look best on you. Email me if you'd like the link.

Enjoy!

Answer 8

For your eyes try the Almay Bring It Out or Play It Up collection (shadow liner and mascara) for brown eyes. You can find them at any drug store or Wal-Mart. I use it for my Hazel eyes and always get compliments.

Answer 9

It really doesnt matter (except blues and most greens dont look good on anybody)

if you want you makeup to be natural try browns, and tan/cream colors with maybe some gold!

it all depends on your personality...
you can do smoky, with blacks and greys...

Answer 10

dark brown black eyeliner, no eyeshadow.. it brings out your eyes!!

eyeshadow only makes you look kind of fake, it ruins the whole natural look especially when you do something dumb like blue sparkles
