Sounds to me like you need to ease up on the lip gloss. Full lips are great with just a smudge of colour, something natural toned. Plus you have olive skin, so I doubt you need to do much with that to enhance it, plus you have green eyes. Small amount of eyeliner, maybe a bit of shadow to enhance. Natural is the way forward. I you are naturally attractive then you don't need to go crazy with makeup, make the most of your best assets which seem to be your lips and your eyes. You know it makes sense.

How about using a dark eyeshadow applied instead of eyeliner with lots of mascara. That way you could smudge the colour and if you start off pale and keep adding until you are happy with the darkness and look... Have a practise - quite often I use black eyeshadow dotted or put on with a cotton bud above my upper and under my lower lashes - sometimes it's too much but a good tip is to use a little dab of foundation (again with a cotton bud) and it kind of 'erases'/covers the mistake! Happy practising!

i think it's only your feeling that a little lip gloss can take over your face.. (think angelina jolie and cameron diaz.. they've got big lips and they're still gorgeous..) and you CAN be gorgeous like them..
if you don't like the look of a smoky eye look.. then you should try having the full lash look.. use a volumizing + lenghtening mascara (i recommend DiorShow in black or brown.. brown is less intense than black.. soo.. you choose!).. brush the mascara through you lashes a 2 or 3 times.. then.. if u think u've got enough eye makeup on.. then stop..
if you want more... you can draw a line of black eye liner on the top lash line.. (thin or thick line?.. it's up to you)
good luck!
i hope you'll realize that many women get collagen shots to get full lips! soo. be happy with yourself!

use a shimmery bronze or gold lightly above the creases use a burgundy or dark purple on the lid and blend slightly into the gold get a small angled brush and a black powdered liner and apply to top lids as tho u would with a pencil liner using the brush and powdered liner gives a softer effect than a pencil but u still have dat smoky dramatic look and use plenty of mascara on both top and bottom lashes

do apply eyeliner but stop in the middle of the eye. it gives the illusion of your eye being bigger. also with the eye shadow put the next to lightest shade on the eye lide...the lightest shade on the brow and the darkest shade only in the crease.

using a white powder in the very corner of your eye will open them up and make them look 20times bigger, gently mix that with the upper colour on your lip and darken the colour towards the outer edge of your eye.

a bit of mascara on top and bottom lids will do the trick
or in contrast you could always use white eyeline instead of black

wear two shades of green the lightest on the top, and spread the darker one over the lower half of your eyelid blend in well, and voila you will look great.
