eyeliner and shadow.?

Question

I have olive green color eyes & they match my light dirty blonde hair. I have acne, (not too bad) so my face is a little red usually.
I was wondering what color eyeliner and eye shadow would look good. also, how do you apply eyeliner without hurting your eyes? Do you apply it on the outside rim of the eye, or the inside?

Answer 1

If you have green eyes and blonde hair, Try using earth tone colors.Benefit has an eyeliner called Babycake. One side it brown, one black. Very nice colors. Id recommend the brown, maybe use a gold or darker/medium green. The eyeshadow I would say to use: Victorias Secret - Mosaic Moss. Beautiful earth tone greens, gold brown and neutral. I think black liner would made a statement by itself as well, but since you are saying you have olive green eyes, go with a lighter shinier shadow to make the color of your eyes really stand out!

You dont want to make them darker, because then you dont accentuate the color.

I still play around with different eyeliner techniques, and I've been wearing it for years. I always use a liquid for my top lid, and apply it with a thin brush, make it thicker out and thin it going in-ward. For the bottom, you can do the same, but if it's liquid I wouldn't put it in the inner rim, just incase your eyes are sensative. Use a pencil, and lightly go over the inner rim, and for a more intense look, use a brown eyeshadow applied with a thin brush around your lower lid, and also mascara, looks great!

Also, I have the same exact problem, olive skin but with breakouts all the time -- I love Loreal TrueMatch foundations, they cover great and make your skin super radiant, plus its not thick. Go take a look at them and pick a good color.

Answer 4

if its on the top of the eye you apply it outside if its under you apply it inside, if you've never done it do it cafefully and it may bother you a little. I think a black or a brown eyeliner would look good and for the shadows a green one that matches you eyes, it looks sooooo nice. You can use some eye drops if your pimples are red, it helps.

go to the mall where they put makeup on you and ask them to teach you how to do it.... if not ask a mary kay consultant to show you how.
