I really like to wear black eyeliner with black mascara. I never wear the eyeliner on top, I just line my lower lid. I have hazel eyes and an olive complexion, with long dark brown wavy hair. I don't ever wear foundation or lipstick/lipgloss or eyeshadow. If I DO wear eyeshadow, it's just a nude shimmer color. I wear a light blush and then a swipe of powder across my face to reduce shine.
Does this sound like too little, too much or just right??
Also, is there any eyeliner that is like a cream, and you use a brush to apply it..I find those softer and not as harsh, anyone know who makes this and where I could find it?
THANK YOU! :)

well it sounds like your makeup and your complexion is like j.los. its not bad. actually makeups primary purpose is to enhance features and by lining your lower lash line you make your hazel eyes pop out which i think is genius. its just right and i love the fact that you add some shimmery eyeshadow too. i don't know why all these girls put so much makeup on during regular days that when they need to get all glammed up they look normal and theres nothing special to them. the eyeliner you are looking for is available at mac and its called fluidline.

if you need to go somewhere special then maybe you can darken your shadow or apply foundation for more coverage. also try experimenting with different looks. smoky eyes also bring out your true eye color.

well, honestly, I'm not sure that black eyeliner is the best choice for day by day makeup.. it looks too harsh.. i heard a lot of pros saying that black eyeliner is suited only for night time.. have u ever tried some other dark colored eyeliners but not quite as dark as black? like dark greys, dark browns - just see which makes u feel best..... also, u said u use (sometimes) powder but without foundation..as far as i know, that's not too good for ur skin : what u can do is to apply a moisturizer underneath and make sure u cleanse ur skin and u exfoliate properly cuz powder tends to close up the pores....well, that's about all i had to object :)))).. the idea of make up is to enhance beauty and make u feel better about urserf... how much how little - ur call... nevertheless, there are some rules to makeup...
oh, almost forgot: the skin around ur eyes is the most sensitive and delicate: use only specific products (e.g. make up remover)and no way harsh eyeliners
best wishes&good luck

That sounds like the perfect amount for you. If you like the way you look with only eyeliner and mascara, then you are not wearing too much make-up. Most make-up is to enhance a person natural look. I wear my make really natural during the day and go for a more dramatic look at evening outings. But you do what works for you.

The makeup selection you describes sounds good. Just a tip, make sure you stay away from the darker lip shades (with darker eyes because it will make you look pale and sort of gothic. As far as the cream eyeliner, I think clinique sells a similar product. :)

it sounds fine for everyday make up. you might need atleast a sheer lip balm to protect your lips from cracking. other wise, sounds great!
i only know of gel eyeliner and thats Bobbi Brown. a bit pricey (especially the brush!)

theres eyeliner thats sorta like a pencil but it glides on a lot easier you can get it at walmart or wherever or there is some that you use a brush to apply you can get that at ulta, or a makeup store, probably not at walmart though

sounds good to me
You have to becareful when using eye make up because it can look to heavy and clog in the corner of your eye. But if u apply it carefully and invest in good make then u should b fine. But never mix dark strong eye make up with colured lips its too much.
