Answer 1

Pastels look go on our skin (purple,liliac, pink, mint green, a soft yellow). Pull your hair back in a beautiful bun only thing, your earrings have to be slamming. Pulling your hair back from your face makes your eyes be a focal point. I hope you have a good time.

Answer 2

A dark shade would just let you look dark.But if u go for something in between it would look nice .
Try a greenish blue color If your eyes are brown then that would make them pop.But always use Silver accessories because gold would make that color look really dull.
If you have permed hair you should let it down and do a hump and use a silver toned clip.
Or if you are natural I would wash your hair then leave it wet braid your hair into tiny pieces then twist it around and put an rubber band around it have it parted into at least 7 or more keep it in for 24 hours when it comes out .It will drop against your face and look cute.
*you can use the 2nd one also with permed hair.
Good luck hope you look your best.

Definetly Champange beige/gold.

Check out the girl Stephanie on American Idol, she wore a nice prom type dress two weeks ago, and it was this champange-ish color, she looked stunning.

Just google american idol and look for her.
I think if you go with a straight, off-centered side part with bangs, whisping down to one side of your face and flipped at the ends would be beautiful.

Wear beige tones eye shadow, with some shimmery beige in the corners, to bring out your eye color, and a soft pallet of nuetrals, including a nuetral lip color.
You've got the perfect skin tone to pull this look off.

Answer 4

I have the same skin tone, and the colors near maroonish pinkish work really well for me. It really makes your skin seem sooooo pretty...Paint your nails the same color. Stay away from white and black dresses. Red would look ok too. Try straightening your hair and take a side part on it. It looks gorgeous on everyone. It really brings attention to the gorgeous eyes.

Answer 5

I think a shimmery coral color would be pretty.

I think an up doo with a french twist in the back. Then you could fine some tiny sparkley bobby pins to line the twist. Maybe you could match your jewelery to that. Just keep it small. You should be the stand out not your accessories. Good Luck and have fun!

I hope you enjoy yourself and have fun.
