Pastels and grays do nothing for you. Best Lip Colors: Raisin, Chocolate, Brick Best Eye Colors: Browns and Golds Foundation: Medium

yellow and blue, yellow concealers, and eithr a lite bronze base or a foundation with a yellow tint. blue on the eyes. a small dark line across the lid I use a lite blue cream pencil then cover that with a med to dark blue powder( it helps to last longer too) the lightly brush on a lighter blue, then blend from the center to the end and up almost to the brow with a darker blue. it will bring out the eyes brightly... give it a try and keep praticing until you get it the way you like it. I also use shadow for my eye brows I get better color and it looks more natural///

You know, if you're young - you really don't need 'makeup'..... It sounds like you have wonderful skin. Use a good moisturizer - and maybe use 'neutral' tones on your eyelids.... don't use color - looks fake. Maybe a little 'brownish' pencil under your eyes - depending on your age - but very little. Save yourself money and just buy a lipstick and blush and maybe a little beige eye shadow and you're in business.
Remember, you don't want to look 'made up'. When you see models in magazines or on TV - remember they have professionals applying that stuff. Colors don't look good on most people - looks cheap. Stay with naturals beiges - remember - less is better.

i have an olive tone, I used to have dark hair, and my eyes are a darker green. If you want to look more natural but want to highlight your features use mostly earth tones.
if your eyes are a brown color, maybe through some darker purples on your eyes, eyeliner or eyeshadow,
if they're green i'd use pink and brown colors for shadow and black or dark brown eyeliner,
if they're blue i'd use blue eyeshadows(it's easy to use too much blue eyeshadow) and maybe navy blue or brown eyeliner.
the best mascara ever is lashexact by covergirl if you just want to define them, or lashexact if you want to make them bold.
use bronzers instead of blush, if you already have the natural pink just make them glow!

i would check out Bobbi Brown's website. She is known for her love of different skin tones and combinations. It's pricey but worth it. You can order from her internet site but it would be best to go to Neiman Marcus and try it out.

Go to Sak's or Macy's they are great with makeovers the shape of your face is important.

i would go with golds, greens, browns and pinks-maroons. you would probably look pretty without makeup by the sounds of it too! :)
