To much makeup,not enough??Help!!!

Please don't be rude!!!

Answer 1

Hmmm, I'm not a big fan of eyeshadow.

Try going for a more natural look. Not too bright,

Try using a sparkly brown as your eyeshadow, and not too much.

I only wear eyeliner and mascara, and that seems enough for me.

And for the first time, you put it on very well

:)

Good luck :]

Answer 2

ahhh.. i see your problem there.... it's in the eyeshadow..

i'm new to this kind of things but i'm learning as well...

basically,, you need to use like at least 3 different colors from the the same family.... take for example, brown family... so you need dark brown, light brown (almost whitish) and a medium brown

and then you apply each of them.... first,, dark brown goes to your crease,, medium brown goes to your lid and light 'whitish' brown goes to your brow bone...

you can easily change the 'medium brown' which goes to the lid with other preferred color you like.... blue, pink or any other colors... but NEVER FAILS TO BLEND YOUR COLOR... because it will look extremely weird...

Answer 3

I would take a color that bright and not apply it on as opaquely. You can use a little bit in the outer creases but then use a darker color elsewhere to even things out so you don't look so..."bright"

Answer 4

hey, i think a purple eye would look amazing on you, so check this out. it would compliment your skin complexion a lot better than the blue.

hope i helped!

Answer 5

You did a good job, but the colors are like BAM! I would say to just blend them a little bit more, and there's quite a bit of blue there, but overall you did a good job. Actually I would probably recommend a thin line of black liquid eyeliner with some sheer, shimmery eye shadow in a nice pink or gold for a gorgeous and more natural look. But you don't look bad, it's fine for facebook.

Answer 6

hi im 13 :]

anyways.. i don't really like the bright blue shadow.

the problem is that its just one shade and it doesnt match nor looks compatible with your shirt. try having an exact shade or mixing the shadow with other colors. for example try a yellow shade all over your lid, a blue section in the middle and a green in the creases and a gold in the inner corners. this may sound sort of wild but tone it down by using a loose bristle brush to get more subtle shadow.

Answer 7

its fine i guess.

we're of the same age and i just wear mascara and eyeliner.

i don't really feel your blue eyeshadow. it's too bright.

maybe just use neutral or skin tone or maybe pink shades of eyeshadow.

anyways, i like ur eyelashes, what mascara did u use?

Answer 8

You're very pretty! I would, however, probably start of with either browns/bronzes or some lighter pinks mixed with some white/cream colours for a highlight. I think they would look great! Currently I think that the blue is a little bit too harsh, the application looks good though :)

The lipcolour is a nice pick as it's fairly natural and is very flattering on you!

ETA:

I really like the new photo you've uploaded! It makes you look fresh and pretty. Good choice!

Answer 9

You should go to my website where you can upload a photo of yourself and try on different makeup looks.  Virtual Makeover.

Answer 10

You applied it really well! A general rule in make-up, however, is never match your eyeshadow to what you're wearing. Always match your makeup to your eye color. Since your eyes are brown, try this "kit" by Almay: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a...

The lightest color goes all of your lid. The middle one goes on your crease, and the last one on the inside of the lid. I also think a brown- or plum-colored liner with black mascara would be very soft, yet pretty.

Also, either you have naturally blushed cheeks, or your makeup is very soft on the cheeks, which is really pretty! Your lip gloss is also great for your age. Try not to use any foundation, concealer, or powder. You might end up making your makeup look really heavy and take away the soft femininity it has now.

Answer 11

since you are just 15 i think you should stay away from the intense harsh colors, instead use light shimmery colors, i suggest that if you want to use blues, you should try cream based eyes shadows, don't pile them on, a light layer will do, also if you want your eyelashes to look more voluminous, you can get a black eyeliner pencil and fill in between your lashes, don't make a line just fill in

Answer 12

The make-up is good but you should have used a darker blue eyeliner instead of matching it with your dress.  Try Revlon Luxurious Eyeliner in Blacked Sapphire & Sueded Brown.

Answer 13

You applied it well, but I think you should go with a different colour of eyeshadow. The blue looks cheesy, maybe go with light brown or whitish/silvery.

Answer 14

Take the blue out of the inside corner of your eye lid. Use a white or green concealer to even out the red. contour around your nose with a darker color make up / minerals, not on tv - & your braces - to smile without opening the mouth might look better. Tan or peal lip color, since there is a reddish look on your face lip color would do good. Neutral or a contouring color blush under the cheek bone only - would help too.

Your eyes are ok beside that.  

Answer 15

it's okay....im not feelin the blue eyeshadow though, sorry.

Answer 16

Hi,

You might be a natural at this.....

:)

I don't love the blue eyeshadow but, you have AMAZING eyebrows.

I think you should use a more natural eyeshadow like a pearly beige or taupe.

go heavy on the upper mascara and a little more pink on the lips.

But, you do look good...  I just think you have what it takes to look great.

Best of luck,

Answer 17

I think it is a bit too much.  The point of makeup is to enhance your natural features.  Have you ever looked at girls and wondered how they looked so naturally beautiful?  It's because they've mastered the art of invisible makeup.  Stick to natural tones.  Nude glosses, deep shades of brown or green shadows, and if you really do love the blue, then perhaps try a deep navy or just do a thin dark navy line, instead.  Remember that you don't want your makeup to be terribly obvious.  Excellent choice for your lips though!  Good luck, makeup can be tricky. :D

Answer 18

Answer 19
