well sweetie I hav the same prob the only thing to say is try a brown eyeliner and some neutral colors…….too much eyeliner and u’ll look like a whore
you can use brown eyeshadow on your eyelids but really close to your lashes and do the same on the bottom u dont need eyeliner and then use a lighter brown on the rest of your eyelid. i saw it in what not 2 wear.
Try going to some makeup websites or maybe even use my favorite. Bare Minerals. Go to http://www.bareessentials.com. You will love bare minerals! it make your skin look so smooth and natural!
Lots of eyeliner makes your small eyes look smaller. To bring out your eyes and still look natural, this is what I do.
Line wth white eyeliner along your TOP lashes, not your bottom. Curl your lashes, and apply eye opening mascara to top AND bottom lashes, like Rimmel London’s, which works really well. Volumizing mascaras work well, too, and Victoria’s Secret has great mascara. Be careful not to get any on your skin. If you want, you can sub white eyeliner for black, which doesn’t work quite as well but still looks great on top. Any color will do, really.
Well, key first step in looking natural is to have really glowing skin. Even if you don’t have that many blemishes, even out your skin tone with a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer and sweep on some bronzer and a cream pink blush. You will be amazed by how “luminous” you will appear without looking like you are wearing anything.
Next step: onto the eyes. Though eyeliners are good to use, I suggest that you use powder or cream formulas. Eye shadows look so much more softer and natural than eye liners which can look a bit overwhelming and harsh. I suggest goign with some browns, golds, and a bit of taupe eye shadows to look natural and polished. I like sweeping a bit of gold shimmer in the inner corners of my eyes for a really refreshed look, and lining the inner rims of my eyes with a white eye pencil; this will give the illusion of a more brighter and larger eye. Try not using purples, blues, greens, etc eye shadows as these colors are telltale signs that you are wearing makeup, so try to stay within the neutral shade range. And lastly to top off your eye makeup, is some lengthening and curling mascara – apply just enough to give some color and oomph to your lashes – adding too much will end up looking clumpy and fake.
****Important note: Make sure your eyebrows are well-groomed. If you pluck your eyebrows too much, put down the tweezers as thin eyebrows can look harsh. Try letting a healthy natural arch grow in.
For your lips, stick with a pale pink gloss and you will be good to go!
Definately stick to warmer colors dark brown eye liner on the top side of your lashes and then go with natural skin tone eyeshadow colors from a dark smokey brown to light golden to accentuate your eyes
if you start the eyeliner from the outside in
put the darkest eyeshadow over your eye crease
and then the medium eyeshadow tracing the topside of your eyeliner and the top of the dark eye shadow it will give you some needed depth
then add the golden bright color to give it a pop right under your eyebrows
the trick is to then gently use your finger to blend in the colors lightly by stroking from top to botom so that they blend in naturally
or if you’re in a hurry and just want your eyes to look a little bigger without all the fuss use a eyelash curler to bring up your lashes then use white eyeliner on the inside of your eyelid where your eyelashes grow from
put mascara on the top and bottom, that will create the illusion of bigger eyes without all the gunk
have fun
Use mascara of course and try an eyelash curler. Try maybe lining by your top lashes and smudging it a very little . Take white shimmer powder / eyeshadow (not glitter!!!) and apply to the corner of your eyes and just under your eyebrow. This will open your eyes up more by bringing light to them. Also, don’t use alot of flashy colors try to stick to the neutrals
well first of all it depends on ur eyes color. i have green blue eyes so i usually use like a lighter color. but i use blk eye liner. u put it above my eye and below. makes ur eyes look bigger and mascra use it on both lashes um u would prolly use a brown eye liner though depending on ur eye color is its brown then i would prolly use like a brown color yeah newayz if that doesnt sound good then go for like warm browns things like that or like a gold color underneath ur eyes to bring them out!!!!newayz i wish u the best of luck ….imma give u a site where u can understand where im comin from and look at some different colors and stuff.!!!!!
