i have golden/honey brown skin and dark brown/black hair(it has no blue undertones) and very dark eyes.
what colours of eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick/gloss will suit me best?
i'm going for a cute, sexy look but not OTT
and i'm not into very bright colours.
also which is better to use a bronzer on my cheeks to enhance my golden skin, a champagne shade of blush or a rosey blush?
any help i would really apperciate
thanks x

Look in fashion magazines for help. But I'd suggest goldens, browns and plums for your eyes. For eyeliners use blacks, browns and plums too. :) For your cheeks I'd use bronzer for day and the blush for night. For lips I would not use any pale pinks or any colors that are pastels. Use dark pinks, cherry colors, clear, and light reds.

Gold eyeshadows with black eyeliner will glam up your eyes. Avoid light coloured lipsticks as they will look fake on you. Wear only dark coloured lip stains. Cherry and orangish colours will look lovely as lip colours. Avoid light-coloured pinks and browns on your cheeks. Use peach or a deep pink on your cheeks, and use this sparingly as your skin colour won't require too much additional colour.
I have the very same look that you described and skip blush completely.

Peaches, corals, & pinks will look best on you. Just be sure to buy good quality brands & test it first. What to look for: Make sure the makeup looks like it;s coming from within your skin & not lying flat on top of the surface. Mac has some nice colors, also Revlon (color: Safisticated Sable) Blush is great! It has 3 tones, one for under your cheekbone(shadow), two for on your apples (color) & three for on top of your cheekbones (highlighter)
For eyes, go subtle with just mascara & a little highlighter in the inside corner. Lips, go coral sheer.
Good Luck

My best advice to you is to look in high fashion magazines for women and girls of color that have your skin tone and hair color! look at the colors they wear! if i were to guess, you would look good in greens and golds, and ambers, and if you wanted a dramatic night time look try Plums, and lavenders and purples, Dont be afraid of bright colors when used sparingly they can have a nice natural affect like a nice peachy lip gloss would make your lips look healthy. good luck

hi! out of your description i could guess that a easy golden blonde may be the colour for you. It wouldnt make you look washed out and the golden tones could look large including your eye color. in case you bypass too dark it will make you look paler. i could recomend not likely with something with a purple tone cuz that would desire to make the redness on your dermis stand out. desire this permits!
