Is there any good makeup tips for people with an exotic look?

Question

I have olive skin, dark hair, and bluish/greenish/grey eyes and don't know what colors would work for me. There is never any makeup tips in magazines for people with my type of look. Does anyone know of any websites or anything that have makeup tips for someone like me?

Answer 1

try earthy tones, and put on the "smokey eyes" look. it looks wonderful with your complexion and dark hair. use white, jade or icy blue, or even better, gray eyeshadow. for the blush, stick to again;earth subtle tone.

You should use colors like goldish browns and bronze. Also earhty greens will work. for your upper eyes lids use very light gold or oranges!!!! For cheeks light orannge or bronzer. For skin mix some bronzer in you lotion for a shimmer. For lips use light pink and mix with some light purple and add some shine and sparkel.
