Answer 1

For makeup, I would suggest blue or green eyeshadow with black or brown eyeliner and mascara. It looks like you have blue eyes, so lets accentuate them! Tone down your lipstick, go with something a bit more neutral, maybe a little pink, or try applying a liquid foundation to your lips and clear lipgloss over it. It looks great and natural! For a haircut, get layers! Hip and stylish, they look great on everyone and are easy to take care of! Hope this helps.

Hey!I think I can point you into the direction of help. Give yourself a weekend to experiment with ways to wear your hair and what makeup to wear,so if you mess up its no big deal. Excercise is the best way to feel good AND look good. Run or walk everyday for 30 minutes to an hour,and change your diet. Eat more veggies,fruits,and control portions. Don't starve yourself! You won;t wake up skinny,but think of how much weight you could loose in a year by loosing one or two pounds a week at a steady pace.

As for makeup,I think you really are beautiful. You may just not see this because of the weight. However,you can STILL look good even if youre heavy. Try shopping at plus size stores,rather than buying large sizes at other stores since they're not specifically made for all larger body types. As for makeup,I would suggest a greens,blues,and dark violets for eye shadow. your eyeliner looks fine in the picture,so I think you're doing that right. You should try out different shades of lipglosses at the mall or a local store as well as eye makeup to find the color you like

As for hair,try on some wigs. It sounds wierd,but you can see yourself with whole different looks and decide what looks best without actually going through tons of bad hairstyles and waiting for them to grow out

I hope I helped a little bit! It IS possible to loose weight without starving yourself and I think you could be so pretty. Make ups not so hard once you have it down,so ask someone at a makeup store or a friend or any woman in your life who seems to know what shes doing. Don't feel alone!

First off, try and shape our eyebrows. It will open your eyes. Your eyelids seems small, like mine, so I would go for a light beige or off-white eyeshadow on the eyelid. And in the crease(the line where the eyelid "disappears") go for a darker brown eyeshadow. It is important to even out the shadows. Use a lighter creamy highlighter in the inside corners of the eyes and on the cheekbones and below the eyebrow. Use a white liner on the bottom wet eyelines, it will open and brighten your eyes. If you want a darker look, use a dark eyeliner(brown or blackbrown) on the eyelids really close to the lashes. Use a blackbrown or black mascara. Use less of everything if it is daytime, and a little more if it's evening.
Go for a more natural look on the lips, try a gloss in peach, pink or beige. Or red if you want, but don't overdo it. Your skin looks amazing, so I don't see any reason for you too use foundation. You could use a tinted moisturizer, or use a light foundation to give you some glow. For blush, try using a natural one in beige or some bronzer.

You should get a haircut that matches your personality. Try giving it a little edge. Maybe a long fringe, and layers. http://www.ukhairdressers.com/style/index2.asp?R1=7426&month1=1&pg=1&styl1=Regis

also try looking in beautymagazines for tips and ideas. I hope you will get better, and remember, the inside is what counts. In the makeup, hair and fashion world, that means matching your personality. Good luck, hope I helped.

Go to a Merle Norman store or the makeup counter at someplace like Macy's. They'll do your makeup to show you how, because they want you to buy their products, also try the same thing with a hair salon (except you'll have to pay, of course) but check with your friends where they go to get their hair cut. Sounds like you are already on your way to becoming a "new improved you". Good luck!

Answer 5

I would go to a MAC counter in a department store and have the sales rep. do a makeup for me. Once you learn the techniques, you can do all of that at home and everyday. I would also make an appointment with a hair salon to do my hair. None of us can be a good judge to your best appearance unless we know more about your likes and dislikes.

Answer 6

I would recommend some more earthy colors for your makeup!! I personally like the more natural look!!! The black eyeliner does nothing for you. It make your eyes look smaller. For your hair, i think something shorter, like a little above your shoulders with some long layers. You are a very pretty girl!!! Good luck with the weight loss!!!

Answer 7

red lipstick is not a good option i learnt that! try a gloss or something. go shopping with close girly mates and youll be happier get them to tell you what suits you and makes you look good. don't ever put yourself down! i do that alot and you should not ever do that - look at yourself in the mirror and pick out your good points then highlight them, this will show you what you can flaunt. whenever i feel low i get my hair done and dyed at a salon then go shopping you will always feel better after this and look better! good luck hun (y) and remember chin up and keep smiling!
p.s. eyeline makes your eyes look bigger if you put it on the outer edges itll lighten up your face - always a good tip them rimming them and making them look smaller

Ok, well first for make-up I think that you should look at the following links. They are videos that have step-by-step instructions on exactly how to do different make-up things. :

Ok, now for hair. I think that since you should keep your hair long like it is, but I didn't see the bottom of it, so you might want to cut your hair. I think you should wear it any longer than 6 inches below your shoulder. Mostly I think that straight hair is nice, but you should never keep yourself limited to that. Here's some other videos on hair that might help:

Answer 10

I think you should lighten your hair up and cut it to match your face. i also think you should lighten your brows and make them thinner you need foundation cause your face is red it will help your overall complextion. You don't need to put on alot of make up to be pretty get some good mascera, bronzer, blush and colored lip gloss cause that dark lipstick isn't working and some light colored eyeshadow to compliment your skin tone and you will be good to go.
