How do you get and apply "cute" eye makeup?

Question

I'm fourteen and going into grade ten this September. I've been wearing makeup for about a year and a half - mostly just eyeliner, mascara, lipgloss and cover up. I've always had trouble with doing my eyes because if I do it dark or apply eyeshadow colors, I look fake and really dark! When I do it the usual way I do, people are like, You look cute but could use some makeup (I AM!).

I have brown eyes and hair and need a look like or similar to the below. Nothing Gothic or scene (no offense!) but more preppy. I wouldn't mind some colors, but mostly just beiges and grey.

Answer 1

my sister uses this really nice sheer eyeshadow pallet, it's by jane. it has light greys, pinks, and purples which i think would look good on you. i use a pallet from maybelline which is called luscious sorbet, it has brown, white, and peach colors which go on really lightly.

you should also use some brown or white eyeliner, and mascara.

if you want, i think some blush would also look nice on you
