Makeup help!?

Question

I don't wear much makeup, just concealer, powder and eyebrow pencil. I would love to know, which shades to try.

I have extremely pale skin and dark brown hair.

My eyes are mostly green, but there is also golden brown flecks and a little bit of teal blue in my eyes. I really don't know how to make them look pretty.

I hate my round cheeks, so I don't use blusher. Lips are quite red naturally.

Please help me! Thanks!!!

Answer 1

with pale skin you are supposed to use pinks purples 'n' stuff like that but since youmhave dark brown hair then maybe use golds and stuff like that dont use concelor its bad for your skin get that bare mineral stuff it is awesome

Answer 2

Go to a Sephora and in the store, go to the Bare Escentuals section. This great make-up is called Bare Minerals. You can try their selection of over 20 brushes and try every make up they have. They have 3 different classes of shadows with well over 40 shades, 8 different powders that settle into your skin so its looks like you aren't wearing make-up, and concealers. It's great and they have a great selection, you willl want to take it all home!!

i have the same problem i am like ghost white.

so i use a ivory beige foundation with concealer under the eyes.

just keep natural shades. browns, beige, light pinks.

for the eyes use a beige, golden or light pink for shadow.

lips, use a clear gloss, ur lips may b red but a glossy shine will make u dazzle




hope this helps

Well, I would try some eyeliner. To make the color in your eyes brighter, try some light pink shimmery eyeshadow. Your eyecolor sounds very unique, so I would try to smoky look.

For your cheeks, if you have baby cheeks like I do, then just take a light color blush and make a checkmark. To know where to start, look at your pupil and make the eyeshadow on your cheek just below your pupil. Then just make a checkmark.

First, you need to determine your skin tone. Here's how to determine your skin tone:

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.

Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

A good place to start is w/ soft browns, taupes and slightly shimmery champagne for eye shadows. This color grid will give you more suggestions: http://www.beautyden.com/beautycolors.shtml

Since you have naturally red lips, sheer natural lip colors are probably best. e.g. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Cherries in the Glow, Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

Answer 6

Your green eyes would look gorgeous with the color gold. As far as your cheeks, I would go with a little bit of bronzer. Check out the color GOLD and DIVA Bronzer at www.angelfaceminerals.com. I think you'll love the foundation as well. It cleared up a lot of makeup problems for me. Good Luck!

Answer 7

You could try one of those really cheap brands and buy a multi-tray of eye shadows, and go from there. Personally i like natural colors of eye shadows like rose, coral, brown etc. I like these in frost. They would look good on you.
If you use light blush only on your upper cheek bone, it will make your cheeks look less round.

Answer 8

you should expirement with golds and netural browns. MAC is the best use things to compliment your eyes not make them pop even more. MAscara and eyeliner helps. Eyebrow stick needs to go. Go with the Boho look and keep it looking semi natural.

Answer 9

wow, you sound beautiful. I personally would recommend using a mascara. loreal has great ones to make them long, I think its called telescope? this will make your eyes look bigger. and maybe a golden taupe eye shadow in the crease of your eyes, and some dark green eyeliner with make you very kitten like. a nice sheer lipstick, like revlon shiny sheers in ruby. you will look supreme!

Answer 10

u dont really want to overdue it with the makeup.
