First time eyeliner wearer?

Question

I have never worn eyeliner before, and I don't want to just start by wearing black eyeliner, because in my opinion it's too dramatic for a 14 year old to wear. I was wondering what color would be appropriate yet still noticeable; gray or brown? Also I wanted to know what color would compliment my light brown eyes best? If you don't think either of the colors would suit me, which would you suggest instead?

Answer 1

blue eyelines are great for people with brown eyes (i have brown eyes) and it would be great for you. dont over do it ....also try browns and purple colors. play it up!

Answer 2

So your going to buy your first eyeliner woohoo, since its your first and its really hard putting on if your not used to it i think you should purchase mac's fluidline gel, its long wearing and smudge proof so it will last all day long if your in school, i would stay away from cheap makeup, maybe mac is a little pricey but im sure you could get someone to buy it for you its £11, it is really worth it and lasts for ages i've had the same tub for a good while now and i wear it every single day, you need to buy an angle brush to put it on with. You say black is a little "too" dramatic for a 14 year old girl to wear, if you use the angle brush you could get away with wearing black without it been to dramatic but still s**y, you can use this brush to put the eyeliner on very thin , or thicker or anyway you like it. I would go for the silver look as well yeah as its really nice, i want to try it myself hehe, i think you could get away with wearing any colour you want while at school if you wear the eyeliner very thin. They say brown eyed girls are very lucky becuse they can get away with wearing any colour of eyeliner or eyeshaddow, but avoid light colours like light pinks and light purples. Black, dark blue and dark browns & grays will make your eyes look cool. You can also learn how to put this on by going on youtube and looking for makeup tips to help you out, as there is professional makeup artists on youtube that do some videos. Have fun applying it :)  x*x

Answer 7

BROWN- and just line around were your eyelashes are not much further up onto your eyelid

Answer 8

Brown eyes look lovely with a plum eyeliner. If that sounds too dramatic, try a navy. If you are looking for eyeshadow, a violet or lavender would look lovely.  

Answer 9

brown eyeliner should work best with your light brown eyes and complement them very nicely.  

Answer 10

start with light brown and then eventually go into darker brown

Answer 11

brown would look good. i have brown eyes and people say i look best in brown eyeliner. blue is good too.

Answer 12

i would go w/ gray b/c like brown i personally have it and it makes u look like u got punched in the eyes. and it would be to matchy matchy

Answer 13

brown is always a natural look.

i dont like gray eyeliner cause it just looks weird on my light brown eyes.

so it may look weird on yours.

ive always found green and purple to really compliment light brown eyes.

and it makes your eyes pop without being smothered in black eyeliner.

Answer 14

Yay! I'm so glad you aren't going for the dark, dramatic look at 14. I did that and when I think back I honestly feel bad for myself in the past. It just looks bad. So go you.

I'd go with the light brown. Gray works for people with really dark hair or really light hair and not too colorful eyes. Light brown when it's not hazel is actually not a very common eye color, so the brown liner will really bring them out and make them extra beautiful.

And a shadow tip-i'd go with naturals, but with golden tones, no matter your skin color. But the darker the skin the creamier in my opinon. it gives a light, sophisticated look that looks good on any age. If you want color for an event or just for fun I'd do earthy greens. Try to stay away from bubblegum pink or cotton candy blue type colors unless you're just goofing around or its a costume. You could probably experiment with purple too, but i'd steer away from that if you're skin is darker.

Good luck!
