Eye-makeup help!!?

Question

I have reddish-brown hair, blue eyes and fair sorta tanish white skin. I've been using a light brown eyeshadow && sometimes a purple or blue eyeshadow, but I want the right colors to use. Oh and what is the best eyeliner to use that won't come off all day and is smudge proof?? Any ideas?

Answer 1

The brown and purple sound good. Don't use blue. It will match your eyes too much, so they won't stand out.

Go to MAC.com, they have great eyeshadow colors. A great color for blue eyes is Mythology, which is a copper color. It is my favorite, and with your hair color it would really look nice.

Eyeliner...use wet eyeshadow and a brush instead. It will stay on all day. Go to the MAC counter and ask them how to do it. I find it easier than pencil liner.

Answer 2

Hey!
If you want Smudge-Proof Eyeliner, then I would use Rimmel brand. But, a disadvantage of this, is if you want to go swimming it isn't waterproof. Apply a foundation over lids so that the liner stays put, and maybe use an eyelash curler. That SHOULD work. For eyeshadow colors, I would reccomend Brown or Pink. A green might look good , too. Just don`t use the same color as your eyes, it will make them look duller.
Hope this works!

Okay, well, im not an expert, but I was always taught to use natural colors. I use a really light tanish color directly beneath my eye brows, and then i use a tone that is a little more pink on the rest of my eye lid, then i use a brown. But if you are going for the flare of color ( I love colored eyeshadow) then use the color on just the bottom of the lid.

As far as eyeliner, I use Maybelline and it works reall;y good. I just got the smear resistant and water proof.

Answer 4

Liquid eyeliner ROCKS but it takes some practice.
Also, use waterproof mascara, that will cut down on the smudging. Just remember to remove it every night or it can break your lashes.
Go to MAC and get a lesson. It's $50 but they apply the $50 to your products... and you know your gonna spend more than that there!

Answer 5

Have you tried a bronze color on your lids, with a soft pink shade on your brow bone, then just from the middle to the outer edge a darker brown, or chocolate, it is pretty dramatic but looks great. Eyeliner....try a charcoal color or even a color that you are wearing but if you use a charcoal color put it on before your shadow, putting it on first helps to keep it from smudging and it looks softer.... oh...and with the holidays approaching try a gold on the brow, a soft brown and black from middle to outer edge and don't forget to blend it with a larger brush just softely sweep it across you lids.

Answer 6

you should look into an ALMAY product which is made for different colored eyes. i'm not sure what it is called but you just choose what color eyes you have and it has the right color eye shadow in one package.

i usually put eyeshadow over my eyeliner to keep it from smudging, but ALMAY also makes awesome eyeliner that stays all day.

Try MAC's liquidlast liner for a smudgeproof look - this stuff does not budge until you take it off with oil-based eye makeup remover. Check out the following entry for more eyeliner reviews:
