Answer 2

Well take it from a gay guy... I don't have pics but use a loose powder foundation to begin with, I personally think that Neutrogena's Sheer Minerals is awsome, because it looks natural, doesn't dry skin or make your make-up "cakey" looking... Be sure to apply concealer on the bttom, top, and on both sides of your noise and blend accordingly... If you are wearing a red dress I would reccommend wearing a light brown/gold hue of eye shadow, but make sure to address the tops of your eyes lids (cover the entire eye lid, but do this by blending, DO NOT just slap on make-up all over your eye lid, put the most along your eye lashes on the top and blend outward) for lipstick use a natural looking color, possibly a pink, but make sure its subtle, no too dramatic... DO NOT use lip liner, you look like a cheap prostitute when you do that, never do that... Put on LIGHT eye liner, go for a brown hue, and light on the mascara, jst enough to make it noticeable but not clumpy, and apply LITTLE blush and again BLEND!! I would reccomend using a bronzer as well (not a fake tan) just a make-up bronzer to give you that subtle "glow" if you need REALLY good make-up try prescriptives, can be found at the majority of your department stores (Nordstrom has it for sure) but it is somewhat costly... But they have a product called "magic" it really does the trick.. follow my advice and you'll look presentable at a party, yet single and classy =] Good luck, email me if you need further help...

You can try to match your eyes to your dress. If your dress is violet then get some eyemakeup that best matches your dress and put the most natural color on the top of your eye on the bone, closest to your eyebrow. The brightest color on your eye lid, and the darkes color on the crease of your eye and then blend them, you dont want it too dark, you want it a little natural. Then with the darkes color (crease color) get a small brush (by the way use brushes for all of these, the darker the color the smaller the brush) and with the darkest color brush it along your bottom eyelash from one end to the other (sort of cat eye look) Put on dark eyeliner on the top lid and dark mascara to make your lashes long. Looks great. Then get a pink blush (pinch your cheeks to best match, what ever color matches your cheeks when pinched thats the color to get) Then get a light color lipgloss, you dont want dark eye makeup and dark lips too, You want your eyes to stand out. People will compliment you (atleast your girl-friends will) Have fun!!!

Mascara is a lot of girls essential flirting tool so try it out but first curl your lashes so you dont risk loosing lashes. Try a little shimmer powder in the corner of your eyes to really make them pop!. Red represents romantce and confidence so be sure to include something red, or if you dont like red try wearing a white big beaded necklace white pops against all colors!. Most of all have fun! good luck.

Answer 5

to draw attention to your face, lightly dust silver shimmer powder on your cheekbones and in the crevice between your eyes and nose. Following the shape of your eyebrow, dust right under your brows. Silver shimmer powder can be used on any skin tone and with any color scheme. for your eyes, the "smokey" look is elegant and mature, so use dark colors (maroon, navy blue, steel gray) and a q-tip to smudge your eyelids with the eyeshadow. good luck!

Answer 7

Depends on your skin , eye, and hair color.

Brown hair, blue/green eyes, caucasion- any earthy colors would look fantastic. A deep lip color makes you look sexy and romantic, plus it shows that you are down to earth, and open.
Black/brown hair, brown/blue eyes-dark brown, or blue would look nice. Not too thick of mascara and light lip color which would make you look playfull and wild.
Blonde, blue/green/brown eyes- sparkly purple, but not too dark. Eye liner and mascara, and a light lip color will make you look fantastic

Answer 9

A romantic look to me is a soft eye but try to make your eyes look bigger than they are (mascara and a little white eyeshadow) then do a red lipstick with a clear or pink gloss on top.

Answer 10

you can find looks (with instructions on Mary Kay's website). Just use a color similar to theirs with the make-ups that you have
