I know I'm not very pretty, but I like to play with makeup.

Answer 1

I think you're very pretty!  You've got excellent skin and a nice, warm skin tone.  I think a light coral colored blush would really make your skin glow.  For you, I might recommend This one by NARS in the color Torrid...

A bit of mascara would help accentuate your eyes and make them stand out a bit more.  I'd recommend any mascara in a brown color.  Also, I might recommend an eyeshadow that has a bit of gold shimmer to play up your brown eyes and bring out the natural highlights in your hair.  Something like this one by Lorac in the color Star Quality or even the Bronze color might be nice for you.

Top it off with a nice lip gloss or stain.  Maybe like this one from the Balm in the color Homecoming Queen.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but this site is my inspiration:

When I feel like a change in my makeup, I will go to my local department store (MAC counter at Macy's) and with a small purchase, you can have professional artists create a look for you.  Just be honest with them and tell them if you want a natural look, etc...  Sometimes just adding a simple shadow or blush will change your look dramatically.  BTW, you are beautiful  and makeup will never make a woman beautiful, it will only enhance the beauty that she already has.
