Well you sound like a beautiful girl so a softer more natural look would be good too. A bold look could be a smokey look. Use a shimmery darker shadow of your lids wit a eyeliner that matches. Use that on your top and bottom and then smudge with a q-tip for the smokey effect. Apply 2-3 coats of lengthening mascara in a dark black. Since your eyes will be the highlight of your face, use a nude or light pink lip gloss.

Well, with your skin, hair, and eye color, I would go for greens, golds, smokey browns/ neutrals, and some deep, purple/ plum colors. Now, if you wish to make your eyes appear bigger, you can line the INSIDE of the bottom lash line with some white eyeliner and use light, shimmery shades (like a light purple or shimmery brown that is about three shades darker than your skin) all over your eyelid and then curl your lashes and apply a dark brown mascara to your top lashes only. You can give the illusion of fuller lips by applying a light, matte shade with a shimmery or clear, lustrous gloss over top. If you ever want to make features look bigger, you always use light colors and to make them look smaller, you use dark. Don't do anything too harsh or dramatic, because that can clash with your soft features. Oh, and if you want to make your cheekbones pop, you can buy a contouring blush (Covergirl Instant cheekbones contouring blush works great) and follow the directions/ or just use a darker blush right beneath the cheekbones, a medium blush on the apples all the way to directly on the cheekbones, and a light shade right above the cheekbone or all over the apple and cheekbone for some extra highlight. If you really want to find out what looks good on you, find a book on makeup and how to compliment your features (like Teen People's Celebrity Beauty Guide), find a beauty consultent to talk with (such as at your local malls beauty counters), or look it up on LEGIBLE websites. I hope that helped, have a happy New Year!!!

You're bold and dramatic so these are the rules...It depends on yr complextion. If you r dark skinned then don't wear light make up etc. also dark blue is good eyeshadow for brown eyed people, and eyeliner on dark eyes makes them look big! Give your lips a boost with dark red lipstick! However don't wear too much of you will look tarty. I speak from experince and don't wish to offend you. Aslo blending makes it look dramatic

Your features except for the lips sound a lot like mine. I think you should go with a eyeshadow that is a light color oh goldish colors looks good on our eye color. I think a shade of pink blush, black or brown eyeliner if you wear it, black mascara, pink lipstick or even just clear gloss. Silver and white eyeshadow looks good on brown eyes too. Good luck and happy new year!

Rosie, I am a woman of color but I have a honey complexion and sometimes I like to go dramatic too for the evening. Try this dark gray eyeshadow with black mascara and eyelinger. Try out the medium reds for lipstick, with a dark red lip liner. For a blush, use something that has a hint of brown in it. Blend, blend, blend..

since you are dark brunette and have dark eyes, dark brown eyeliner and mascara will look good. Also, gold eyeshadow will look very good on your skin and accent your eyes. For foundation you should go for a color that matches your tan skin tone and not overdo it on the blush. For the lip you can use light pinks or hues of brown........remember don't overdo anything!!

well gold eyeshadow is a perfect compliment to golden skin. it also is bold and noticable. for cheeks a pinky apricot is very pretty in the apples of your cheeks. for lips that same color but a bit pinker. and also to make your lips appear fuller dab lip gloss in the middle of your lips and they will look fuller. i would go to the body shop they have awesome gold shadow and oh! pink looks good on golden skin too but a goldish pink. anyways the bodyshop is great. they have great make up and for blush go to target to get dream mouse blush :)

try warm neutral colors like purples and plums (shimmer shadows) and more darker lipsticks or glosses on lips. Outline your eyes in back and use black mascara. Using softer shades of white/purple (shimmer shadow) will make your eyes pop!
