Q: Hello. im 13 I cant seem to find the right color eyeliner or right color eyeshadow for me. im Brunette. i have medium brown hair past my shoulders. i need help on what color to wear and some people tell me all these different styles of how to put it on and it always looks weird on me. like alittle past my age kind of makeup. so if you could tell me what color i should wear and post some links to pictures of what styles of how i should put it on that looks like a 13 year old girl would wear her makeup. That would be great! Plzzz&&Thnxxx
It would have been helpful to know your eyecolor when picking a shadow but i tried to give you pretty versatile options. here's what i think you need:

-simple mascara. get a brand that's got a really detailed brush so your lashes are defined as individual eyelashes and not clumps of dark goopy crap. (i use 'lash exact' mascara, and it hardly clumps at all.)i think you should try black and/or the mixture of brown and black, both would compliment your dark hair well.

-black/dark blue/brown/any dark color that's very subtly noticeable eyeliner.
For starters, just use it on your bottom eyelid. apply it lightly on the place where your eyelashes meet up with the lower lid until you're satisfied with how it looks. if you think having more would look good, try putting some on your upper lid make sure to put it on evenly for both eyes.
once you're wearing this, i don't think you'll need much else. a deep shade of purple eyeshadow put on VERY LIGHTLY helps make anyone's eyes stand out.

lol i didn't know how to explain some things so i tried to draw it for you.

other tips you might find helpful:

-if you don't NEED it, don't use it. the key to looking good with makeup on is to make sure it's noticeable but not too distracting from your natural features.

-When you put on the mascara, start with the middle lashes and brush them upward. then do the sides and brush them slightly outwards.

-if you put a little bit of white eyeshadow on (see picture) it makes you look more awake.

-always have makeup remover and cue-tips handy.

-when you wash off eye makeup you need to get it wet and then wipe it away with something dry, otherwise it just stays there.

it sounds like you fit the description of one of my best friends. the make up i described is similar to what she wears-- and looks fabulous in, i might add.-- she's 15, but i think what i suggested should be age appropriate (:

if you have any more questions let me know

(sorry if i'm pointing out the obvious.)
