What sort of makeup styles would flatter my face?

Question

I rarely wear it as I don't know what would look nice without looking like a bad drag queen or something:

Answer 1

you really dont need a lot of make up but if you were having a night out with the girls or something or if you were going out on a date i might say that it could look really nice if you played with some gold (but not the really bright kind, just a bit of a shimmer) eyeshadow and used a darker brown to create a smoky eye. that could look really cool if you kept your lips more shimmery rather than bright. if you used like a clear with a bit shine it would look great. also you could use a highlghter (not like a marker lol) but for your skin on your cheekbones, the square of your chinline, and down the center of your nose. this helps accentuate your already prominent features and makes them go from looking good to great.

for an every day type of thing i might suggest lining the outside of your eyes very close to the lash line so you can hardly tell your wearing liner. use clear mascara which will work like dark mascara but be less formal. the highlighting thign is also a nice touch for every day because it makes your skin glow a little which is nice. and just a little shimmer for your lips and your good to go!

good luck!

Answer 2

Perhaps some light foundation -- I mean lightweight -- there's a very good brand (Loreal "Color Match"-- you hold up a card to your face (in the store), and it matches the tone of your skin to the correct foundation). I suggest bronze highlights on your eyelids, and perhaps the middle of the forehead. You could also accentuate the upper / outer portion of the eyelids w a deep purple eye shadow. Smooth it out w your finger. You could use dark brown eyeliner (lightly!), starting from the MIDDLE of the eyelid and extending to the outer end of the eye; and dark brown mascara.

Perhaps also a dark rose / brown blush, again, just to highlight your cheekbones. Lip gloss in a deep rose color -- like the color of the flesh of a fresh fig. Again, experiment. If you're subtle, and think about highlighting your natural features, you won't look like a drag queen (or a 'ho).

Have fun!

Answer 3

You look great in blond hair. Try some low lights for fall and winter to warm up your skin tone. You face is small, pretty and slightly heart shaped. Check out some of Rihanna's cuts. You could totally pull it off. Or leave longer and add fringey angle cut bangs With fringey, angled bangs you can really play up your eyes. You are fair so be careful for daytime. Stick to browns and other neutral colors, brown mascara, etc. Eyebrows are excellent. Your lips are on the thinner side so I would stick to softer colors and glosses. No brights and not to dark! Have Fun!

Answer 4

Well i first find a good foundation that matches your skin tone, with a natural looking blush. Put on volumizing mascara, and make your eyes the focus of your face because you have pretty eyes and put some beige, or other earthy toned eyeshadow with a little shimmer (not glitter, but SHIMMER). For your lips, i would put on a nice, natural looking gloss. All these things will make your feautures stand out, but naturally!!! Oh, and i would fix up your eyebrows a little, dont make them too thin, but just fix them up a little, they look a little to bushy right now.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 5

You are very pretty and wouldn't need too much. I think some lighter colored gloss would look good, not bright lipstick because w/ large lips I think looks drag-queen-ish.
You could play up your eyes with some dark liner and that would look nice. Like someone else said, its best to choose to either emphasize mouth or eyes.

Answer 6

You have a beautiful skin tone and good bone structure.
I suggest cleaning up your brows with tweezers or getting them threaded. I don't like waxing bc I dont believe it's precise enough.
Choose to play up either your eyes or lips.
With your coloring you could easily get away with darker colors.
Any style you like would look good as long as you make it your own. And don't over do it.
You have so much natural beauty already.
Go to some cosmetics counters of makeup looks you admire (stronger = MAC and more natural= Clinique for example) and ask them for some tips.
Have fun.

Answer 7

Some nice dark brown on your eyelids would be nice, really play up your eyes, but not your lips. also a little blush on your cheeks, towards the back would look nice as well. but definetly not alot of makeup, just a little.

Answer 8

I saw your pics and i think you should wear a bronzy eye shadow on yor lids and dab a light shimmery shade on the inside corners of your eye. then curl ur l ashes and put on some mascara and the use a shimmery peachy lipgloss on ur lips

Answer 9

personally, I don't like make up and I think women who obsess over it do so because they feel they have to make themselves pretty instead of being happy with who they are. There is nothing wrong with wearing it as long as you don't cake it on (like you said, drag queen). I've only worn make-up twice in my life and that was in a beauty pageant and to my senior prom. I don't know much about make-up either, but I would suggest colors of brown and gold or light colors. nothing dark or loud...the light colors work best for people of color:):)

Answer 10

Use as little as possible.

Personally, I use Myron clown white.
