advice

I'm really into fashion.. but I cannot put a cute outfit together myself for well, me! I'm not into abercrombie and fitch pricey clothes or brand names across shirts. I have no idea what colors look good on me. I've been told red but I cannot wear red at school.. since I'm usually there.. I don't bother buying it. Help? I'm going to be a junior next year and I want a makeover. Makeup tips, fashion tips, hair cut [?] style?

I can do a makeover for someone else but not myself. I've changed my look so much by myself and it comes out bad. I just want opinions!

Here's me

I'm kinda small. 5'0-5'1 85 pounds. I'm 16. I have dark brown eyes that I would love to brighten up. Makeup tips/brands? I dyed my hair black to cover up previous dyes, some dark brown [natural color] is peeking through eh. It's also naturally wavy. Any way to wear it pretty and have it out of my face?

I really like the style of Forever 21 and Wet Seal.. I just usually wore black for many years because I thought color looked bad on me. So I'm kinda lost with fashion. It's all cute things that I think won't look good on me. Help please :]
Pictures would be nice and lots of responses too. Any tip would be helpful.

You'd look really good in white(not off white but like, snow white) and bright colors. Try a vibrant blue or aqua blue. I might stay away from yellow and pale pink if i was you. Also maybe oranges, although I can't really tell. Ask a friend how it looks on you. Grey could bring out the pinks in your skin, which is good. But not dark slate-grey. Just medium grays and lighter.
Since your petite, you'd look really cute in a lot of things. Skinny jeans might make your legs look weird, so I might stay away from those(but skinny jeans should have been out in December and I don't know why anyone still wears them). Also, capris could make you look shorter. Bermuda shorts could be good though, especially if they're kinda tight. Jeans-wise, you should go for ones that are relatively tight. Not like slutty, squeezing-you-to-death tight, but not bagggy at all. Also, A medium wash would work best for you. Dark might make you look even smaller, and light could draw extra attention to your size(I'm not saying that you don't want people to notice your size or anything- It's pretty noticeable. But light washes tend to attract attention, and you don't want people thinking, "Wow, she's really really short." If they can notice your entire body, then they'll think, "Wow, she's petite," or something along those lines anyway. And that's kind of better). Denim bermudas are especially cute. As for skirts, you'd probably look cutest in a mini-skirt.

Makeup:
For eye makeup, you should probably not wear black eyeliner, because it would look too heavy on your face. Wear brown instead. You can barely tell that there's a difference, but it looks a lot lighter. For eyeshadow, lavendars, greens, and browns(bronze, beige, etc.) would look best. Browns would complement your eye color, but might not look best with your skin, so you should be minimal if you use it. You should probably not use pink because it could make you look slightly sickly. If you want to brighten your eyes, line your eyes(inside rim and on the bottom) with white eye liner. Also, put just the tiniest tiniest bit of a light, shimmery eyeshadow on the inner part of your eye that kind of touches your nose. Mascara-wise, you don't really need it. Your eyelashes are good enough. But if you want to, you could pretty much use anything. For your lips, you could use any pinks, really. One that's close to your natural color looks best. Don't use berry purples or anything because it could look wierd. If you want to look like, stunning, a firetruck red would work on you. But don't wear that too often. Use it on an occassion, like a time when you have to dress up or something. For blush, you should go to a nice makeup store like Sephora and ask someone there to help you find a color. Do this even if money is an issue and you want to get cheap makeup. You can remember the color she chooses for you and then get a similar one at, say, a drug store.
