Answer 1

This article will help you pick a good eyeliner:  http://www.associatedcontent.com/article...

You can search on YouTube for how-to videos on putting on makeup.

I'd learn how to apply eye makeup first, and then move on to other areas of the face.  But that's just my personal style.

Answer 2

You could learn some makeup tips here

But some tips i would give you is to make you eyes pop a trick is to take a white eyeliner pencil & underlne the bottom of your eye with it lightly. Also wear at least 2 coats of mascara when you apply mascara. To cover your freckles you can use a concelar touch up stick like this one to get certain spots http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr... .

A tip to make your lipstick last longer is apply a lipstain ( http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh... ) under your lipstick. Also if you want a little pout to your lips try a lip plumper. I think that shades of green eyeshadows and light pink would look great on you. Good Luck!

Answer 3

first off congratulations on losing weight =]

and i lovelovelove your hair lol its gorgeous and the new cute is really cute

for make up you can use foundation/cover up to cover your freckles if you want to but i happen to like freckles. for your eyes you should try gold tones and also dark brown. also wear mascara. you should really try going to your local sephora or the makeup counter in a department store so they can show you how to put everything on. and btw you have amazing eyes

Answer 4

1) I have freckles on my nose form skin damage in Club Med so I use foundation (powder) the brand is wet/dry you can find it at Ulta, but you can't find it at stores like Wall-mart or Target.

2)You put thick, but not to thick eye shadow under your eyes and on top. P.s. Ignore the fake eyelashes.

And you can also apply a light pink and blue and purple and green etc.. but not dark colors only light.

How to- First take a dark color like blue (never use black) and put it on you eyelid then take a lighter color like pink and put it on you lower eyebrow. (These colors are just an example)

3) You could some lipgloss I would recomand the superstay gloss by Maybelline New York and you can pick you shade.

4) I love your hair the way it is just get a small trim and get side bangs to you  cheek bones. Then dye your hair the color you want to and you will look beautiful (not like you never were)  :)

Answer 5

i really don't think you should cut ur hair! i love the 1st pic! and as for ur eyes "popping", try darkening ur eyebrows with a red eyeliner. the rest i think you should go to macy's and have the make up pros there help you. again, i think you look better with longer hair!!!!!!!

Answer 6

if you really want ur eyes to pop you will have to sacrifice being a blonde and go for brunette.... also, u can use eyelineer on your lower lid, but not too much click on this link 4 more suggestions

hope this helped!!! : )

oh yeah and i also think you look better with longer hair... but personally, it's up to you

Answer 7

Use a white eyeliner on the rims of your eyes.(The wit part) And use a black or dark brown on the outsides and half of the bottom! Best of luck.

Answer 8

well my first suggestion is dont hide your freckles!! they are a trademark. BUT if you are going to try i think it's going to be difficult to get them completely not visible but you can help.

The only problem is it might take pretty thick makeup.

Try liquid foundation definitely and always use a brush to apply it, it helps make a smooth EVEN balance of the foundation. and always start out with a small amount because you can always add more but you can't take it away.

Making your eyes pop is easy.

First pluck your eybrows and shape them. If you have never done this before you might want to go to a salon and get them waxed so that they can do the shaping for you. Next fill them in. The eyebrows make a huge difference with the look of your eyes, They outline them so make sure they are shaped and filled in nicely. Since you have such light eyebrows try using bare minerals powder eyebrow liner so it looks natural.

when it comes to eyeshadow you can try out different colors! Blue eyes can pull off a lot of colors so dont be nervous to experiment. Lavenders and purples would probably make them pop and if done right smokey eyes will make ANYONES eyes pop.

typically you start off with a highlighter color. This color should be the lightest of the eyeshadows that you are applying. Use it to highlight your brow bone and on the lid of your eye. Next is your shadow color. Blend it into the crease of your eye. If you are going for a dramatic look you can add an even darker color to the outer corners.

Also always always always apply with brushes and not the applicator sponges they sometimes come with. Brushes make it so much easier to blend. and blending is the KEY to eyeshadow. You should never be able to see the lines between colors.

Since you have fairly small eyes DON'T put black eyeliner inside of the bottom lid, it will only make your eyes appear smaller. If anything try a white eyeliner on the inside of the bottom lid. It sounds odd but it will open them up and make them look brighter. Also you can line the outside of the bottom lid with either eyeliner or black or brown eyeshadow which will also make your eyes appear larger.

You have pretty fair skin so blush and lipstick shades that are in the pink range would probably look best on you.

Answer 9

to hide youre freckles get mineral powder coverup and maybe some liquid to.put the liquid on first tho then the powder after its dry.

to make you eyes pop. Use mascara,maybe eyeliner some if any,eye a silvery eyeshadow or purples.buy a kit and playa round wiht what color you like.

dont use ot much makeup.maybe just coverup.mascara and a little eyeliner(the color kindss) will look good.
