Make-over help, hair and make-up need a fresh start for college!?

Question

hi ladies

going back to college in september and feel like a total make-over because i need a fresh start after some of the changes that have happened recently

ive died my hair back to a chocolate brown, but its outgrown any style it had and id appreciate any suggestions that would flatter my face (ideally making it thinner looking lol)

and now i want to adjust my make-up

id like to know what colours would look best with my colouring

heres a recent pic of me on holiday so i am slightly more tanned than usual and was going out so have glittery eyes. please dont answer if its to be nasty about my pic !

should i use bronzer? pink or peach blush?

lip colour (i prefer lipstick)

eyeshadow colours (i like dark and smokey but not black)to make my eyes 'pop'

any product recommendations?

i particually like kim kardashians make-up , but im not olive skinned :(

and MAC cosmetics :)

oh yeah how can i create more defined cheekbones with contouring?

i hope if anyone has the same colouring as me the answers on here would be of interest to them too :)

thank you for your time in this long question

Answer 1

I LOVE YOUR EYE MAKEUP.  you also have very pretty eyes. i think blue would look pretty cool. i use mica bella cosmetics for eyeshadow anyways they have some amazing colors, very vibrant. use a little less blush or make it a little lighter, it'll make your face less round.  

Answer 2

tone down on the eye make-up....be more simple and classy with just eyeliner and massacre.....but bronzer and some blush and be out the door

i think u should have side bangs(thats more of a teenager thing) and go for the full on bangs

Answer 5

very pretty!!!

well, if you go on youtube, type in PANACEA81, her channel has AMAZING eye makeup tutorials. Im sure you'd LOVE them.

Id say peach blush, and to contour, you can use something like this:

get it in the bronzing duo.

suck in your cheeks, and use the darkest side to contour.

then use a peach blush(any blush) on the apples of your cheeks(smile to see them)

then use the lighter shade of the duo blush, and highlight your cheekbones.

lipcolor, anything nude, and some gloss.

Answer 6

Hiya, I'm going back to college in September and I know what you mean about wanting a fresh start and new look, I try and do a new look each year :)

I looked at your photo and I love the style of your hair in the picture, the fringe and the layering really suits you so I wouldn't change that too much. For your make up it looks like you have a reallllly clear complexion so you don't need much base make up. For blusher i would choose a pinky-peachy colour and start applying your blusher from your hairline and sweep it down to the apples of your cheeks, I find it helps my face look a little less round :P Then maybe a little bronzer with a tiny bit of shimmer from the apples up. Even if you don't have olive skin like Kim you can still try and her adapt her look to suit you. I think a smoky brown eye would really look good because your eyes are amazing and you want them to stand out. No 7 has just released a eyeliner called chocolate and I would line your whole eye in that then chose a neutral brown to cover the whole of your lid and just a bit outside then a dark brown to put in the crease and a light shimmery brown for the inner corner. Then finish with looadss of mascara! Hope I've helped :D xx

Answer 7

your like really pretty

your face already is thin but to make it look thiner you just add more or a fringe and wear your hair covering the sides of your face

i think you should wear

eyes

either a really dark smoky black or a brown to gold look

lips

just a lip gloss

face

foudation with red not pink blusher

sorry im a bit rubbish at giving advice :(

anyway ...

hope i helpd you :D x
