What makeup would suit my new red/white top, read details please?

Question

Today after school I bought a red top that is randomly spotted with white splashes, so it looks mostly but not all white. It has a big red ribbon under the bust and a low cut neckline. I am wearing it tomorrow for my school's Grade Nine Celebration Evening (I'm Australian so our school year's almost over), but I am not sure what sort of makeup would suit. I have light brown (mousy) hair with blonde streaks, green/brown eyes (they change), and I tan easily, if that is any help. I'm not tan at the moment, but not "white". Please tell me what colour eye makeup to use. Thanks

Answer 1

If it's mostly white, the red will be a dominant color. Keep your make-up simple and natural: stick with neutrals. Gloss your lips, but take a gloss that goes over your natural colors instead of tinting your lips (try Revlon's "Toast to Shine" or anything by Bonnebelle.) For the eyes, don't use any dominant colors. Use eyeshadow that is a few shades lighter than your eyelid skin. Use masscarra and even eyeliner, but don't apply them too heavily or you will shift attention away from the top and look overdone. Don't use shimmery eye make-up. But if you REALLY want to, make sure it's a few shades lighter than your eyelid and softly dap it and even it out before you leave (you don't want frosted eyelids XD!)
Happy Celebration!!!!

Don't match your make-up to your shirt! When choosing your make-up colours, you really should be paying attention to your own colouring, not what you're wearing (and then once you've picked colours that work with your skin, hair and eyes, then you can see which one works best with your clothes, but really, good make-up colours shouldn’t have to be changes with your outfit!) I would go with MAC All That Glitters for a base shadow for your eyes and then either a navy linger (if you’re eyes are brown) or a plum or purple colour if your eyes are green (blue brings out brown and red brings out green, but red will make you look like you’re on drugs, so the next best colour for green eyes is purple and plum colours) Go with a more natural looking lip gloss colour that has a bit of shine, a blush that looks natural and a brown mascara and you’re all set!

Answer 3

Usually what you are supposed to do when you wear red is match the same color red with your lipstick (this is called color synergy) and go easy on your other features. (light blush, natural-looking eyes with purple shadow because purple brings out the green in your eyes).

Also, get an intensity controller for your lips because if you're only in ninth grade, you don't want your makeup to look too heavy. If you use intensity controller and the same color lipstick as your shirt, it will still look like your lips and your shirt match, even though your lips are lighter.

I think for shoes here are your 3 options from which ones i think most to least * converse or ed hardy converse like shoes ( not hi top ) *Sandals ( I went to Kohl's yesterday and they had an awesome sale! like $7 to $4 sandals ) gladiators or some kind of flip flops would be good too! like a Leather or brown flip flops but not a flip flop with a heel * you could get bear pawss there like a cheaper king of uggs or you could get uggs i don't reccommend them because there more of a winter shoe and most stores wont have alot of the good ones until later Cut down on the glitter a bit your eyeshadow is good ....the mascara ... maybe you could try a clear mascara from great lash pink green bottle your lips are good but try one without the shimmer also i think you could also use some bronzer and blush hope it helps txstar99:)
