I can wear pink, blue, green, or neutral eye color. If you guys could give me some good makeup tips, or point me in the right direction that would be great. I see makeup on girls I would love top be able to do, but don't know how. Thanks for the help, ladies!!!

Answer 1

I am a huge black eyeliner with black mascara fan!! No matter what color your eyes are, no matter what color eyeshadow you use, the black eyeliner makes your eyes pop out and be seen. I usually use two to three tones when I do my make-up, for instance when I use pink I use a light pink and a hot pink which is darker. I use a eyeshadow brush to brush the light pink all over my eyes and almost up to the brow line (only if it's shimmery light pink) then I take the hot pink and dab it into the natural eye crease, when you open your eyes the area that folds in so to speak, I put the hot pink across that whole crease which brings out the light pink as well as the eyeliner which in turn brings out the eyes. When using neutrals I use a purple to brush onto the very bottom portion of my eyelid, then I use a brown for the crease followed by a cream color for the top portion up to the brow line as well as a dab of it under my eye and in the corner to give my eyes that shimmering glow. It's kind of hard to explain without showing you, I wouldn't recommend the brown and purple eyeshadow unless you have brown or hazel eyes, since I am not sure how it would work on green or blue eyes, if you have brown or hazel eyes it will really make your eyes more vibrant. Honestly I just experiment with things, I never had anyone who helped me learn how to do make-up either and now all my friends ask me to do theirs when they are going out. I look at magazines and see something I like then look for colors that are similar and then I just mess around with where I put certain shades, how many colors I can put together and what parts of my eyelids make my make-up look more dramatic. I hope that helps a little. My favorite eyeshadows are Almay Play up collection, Sephora has the BEST hot pink, In Your Face has really good light shimmery pinks as doen Jane. Maybeline has really pretty blue it's called electric blue and cover girl starlights for the purple and shimmery creme colors. I also recommend NYC black eyeliner, it works really well for me and stays on for hours with Covergirl Lash Exact Mascarra it really elongates and thickens without clumping. Oh and one more thing, I love the natural glow look so I always use a face shimmer like caboodles Glowgirl shimmer duster or Revlon Skinlights face illuminator, I usually use the caboodles everyday and the revolon when I am getting REALLY done up because it is much more noticeable. But shop around and find looks that you like find colors close to or exactly like what you want and just mess around, wash it off and try something different, that is how I learned and now I can't ever do my makeup until I do everyone elses!! :0) Good Luck!!

i think of each and every female looks sturdy in commencing place. i do no longer think of eyeliner and eye shadow could be used after 50. i think of a tad of blush is wonderful nevertheless. i've got no longer worn any makeup on a each and on a daily basis foundation for the previous twelve years or extra because of the fact that is too warm in Florida. I do positioned on makeup nevertheless for a definite occasion like when I gown up. Having come from a great kin, and having had careers that deliver me into touch with numerous persons i'm able to assert that adult males might actual say no makeup is mandatory or required, and that is because of the fact they're low priced skates and understand how costly it particularly is to purchase that makeup and understand at last that fee will come out of their pocket.
