Answer 1

ok this is wht u shud use

Eyes- shadow- i wud use a purple for the lid and a sparkly creamy color from the cres to the brow bone, u can jut use purple on the lid if u want. http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=304792&navAction=jump&navCount=5&skuid=sku1276514&id=prod1276524 use the trio for browns

Eyes- Liner- a violet, purple wud look really good not liquid just pencil on the bottom under your lashes. http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=304788&navAction=jump&navCount=0&skuid=sku371550&id=prod371549 scroll down where the colors are ad masquerade looks great!

Eyes-Mascara- a brown wud look really good.http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=100566&navAction=jump&navCount=1&skuid=sku1276564&id=prod1276574 in brown topaz

Face- Concealer- a little concealer when u get break outs in light color. i know it says oily but when u get a pimple it covers and heals it.http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=100563&navAction=jump&navCount=6&skuid=sku1628602&id=prod1628613 in light

Face-Powder- U sound yung so pressed is best get fragrance free not unscented. Fragrance Free means no scent at all Unscented means they use mroe chemicals to cover up the frangrance. http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=306947&navAction=jump&navCount=2&skuid=sku1628585&id=prod1628596 i know it says oily skin but just use it when u get a pimple and on your nose where it gets red.

Face-Blush- A lite pink wud be good since yr fair like me u dont wanna go to dark or else u will look like a clownhttp://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=100562&navAction=jump&navCount=7&skuid=sku1628601&id=prod1628612 use pink, just a little bit

Lips-Gloss- i use just smackers original bubble gum. but i just bought a dior diorkiss lip gloss cuz it was on sale the color is very pretty but i will only use it on special occassions and such but everyday use go for smackers its cheap tastes good and gives a little bit of shine.

Lips-lipstick- i usually dont go for lipstick but when i do which is rare i use a hydrating one in a lite pink or peachy color http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=100294&navAction=jump&navCount=11&skuid=sku2391050&id=prod2391576 in sheer watermelon. i know the person gave it a bad review but i have used it and it worked pretty well

I hope u like my suggestions i will be rite back wiht what brands to use............. i picked these brands becuase they r the only srugstore brands that dont test on animals

Answer 2

I would definitely recommend a green shade of eyeshadow, brown eyeliner and dark brown/black mascara. For your eyes, maybe use an all over brown/beige color a little darker than your skin color. Then blend in the crease, a pretty green- dark green, light green, shimmery green, whatever you like. Then line your whole top eyelid in dark brown eyeliner. In the corner of your eye, dab a little gold eyeshadow to really make your eyes stand out and pop. It also helps make them appear larger and brighter. Line the bottom lashes with brown eyeliner also. Make sure to blend it all together so it looks smooth and put together!!

Some brands I like-
Eyeshadow- Urban Decay or MAC
Mascara- Benefit Bad Gal or Christian Dior- Dior Show

Good luck!!

Answer 3

I have almost the same eyes as you super dark brown and fairish skin. What I do is I use a light golden shimmer eye shadow and just dust it in the corner of my eyes. (The corner closest to the nose) Then I use black eye liner and put it right at the lash line and then some mascara and then Im done. It makes my eyes look awesome stand out and Im not putting alot of gunk on them either. for your skin you should use a light toner. I use clearasil it works really well. and smells good

Answer 4

Skin tone is a key consideration. You want makeup colors that match your skin tone.Here's how to determine yours:

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.

If you have a warm tone - consider navy, coffee brown, brick reds & nude pinks.

If you have a cool tone- consider sapphire blue & berries (reds & pinks w/ a blue undertone).

Since you have a reddish tint in your hair avoid - reds and browns w/ a strong yellow or orange undertone. These may make you look sallow.

Answer 5

Use N.Y.C or Maybeline black eyeliner and black mascara from Covergirl (Lash Exact) Don't apply eyeliner all around your eyes, because infections from the eyeliner can get in your eye, and plus it just doesn't look very good. Go heavier on the top lid, and less at the bottem. Use green or hazel eyeshadow, it makes really brown eyes completely {POP}
Use Covergirl or Almay foundation, works like heaven. Don't cake the foundation on, it looks wayy to over do. Use a color as close to your skin tone as possible, like classic beige. And throughout the day, add a little touch up to your T-zone and nose if it gets too oily.
For your hair, just use really cute headbands and clips. And mix it up a bit, like one day a really cute pony tail style, some days just washed and dried, or a bun or a poof.

Have fun with your new makeover!

Answer 6

what i would do is get a smokey eye thing going i think you would look great with that and some light pink sheer lip-gloss ((not too glossy)) and if you go to a mall go see one of the make-up artists at the stands where all the beauty products are ((they help alot))

Answer 7

When you line your eyes in any dark color it makes them look smaller

Answer 8

Hun please in no way use the term "emo glasses" ever lower back. in the different case somebody's going to conquer you up. yet, i could advise you hint a line in pencil first, then stick to your line you already made with MAC or despite liquid you opt for. That way you wont by twist of destiny make one end choppy, and while the eyeliner is dry, you need to bathe your face to get it off, and thats stressful. additionally, ensure you have a mild hand.

Answer 9

hey!!!
first of all you need to have eye mascara (black) and eye liner (black is best!!!)and some really light like sea green coloured eye base colour.....(the thing you put behind the eye).....
whenever you wanna make your eyes stand out put on the mascara.......the eye liner......both on the up and down part.......but remember try to put it more dark on the upper in side of the eye (hope ur gettin what im tryin 2 say!!).......
then softly put any light eye makeup behind.......im sure your eyes will stand out!!
plus dont wear dark lipstick if you want your eyes to stand out......put on light lip gloss or something!!!
hope i helped!!!GOOD LUCK:D:D:D!!!!!!
