I have dark brown hair, blue/green eyes, tan skin, I'm 5'5, and I'm skinny. What kinds of makeup will bring out my eyes like eyeshadow? I'm a prep so I wear preppy clothes from American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale, Weathervane, Hollister, and other stores. Please help me with my makeup lol. Thanks

I went to MAC this time last year before school started and got 4 eye shadows and just ran out and I used them every day of the year. The price is so reasonable for the quality and how long they last. It's such a good investment. Plus, they match you with colors that go good with your eye/skin/hair colors. They gave me a really pretty gold color for my lids and for my creese I had a brown that goes with it. It looks awesome. [ AngelofMusic's advice column | Ask AngelofMusic A Question ]

I'd choose a silvery eyeshadow.. or a darker green to bring out your eyes. for a sultry look, go darker for you makeup (Clothes too!) for a happy, peppy look, brighter colors.. it never hurts to mix and match, either. Black eye liner works for everyone.. dark brown eyeliner would look great too! I love eyeliner, so get some varying eyeliner for the top lid.. go on some local department stores' websites... and browse the makeup department! Try different brands and find the brand that works best for you! Have fun! -Ce [ oxDaYxDreaMxo's advice column | Ask oxDaYxDreaMxo A Question ]

It glides on smoothly, and comes in *many* diffeRent shades, so you'Re bound to find a coloR that's peRfect foR you. With eyeshadow, I think a nice light gReen, soft pink, oR white would be a gReat choice foR you!! And heRe's a tip: to get youR eyeshadow to last alllllllllll day, put some body lotion, oR PetRoleum Jelly on fiRst, THEN apply the shadow. Also, theRe's this technique I do, called "Shadowing". It cReates this AWESOME smokey affect!! You simply put on the coloR eyeshadow you wish to weaR, then using a bRistle bRush, dab a bit of gRay eyeshadoW oveR it!! It's goRgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as foR eyelineR... when it comes to liquid oR pencil, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence. HoweveR, if you ask... MOST people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. theRe's a chance that the liquid may Ruin. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $15.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd PREFER "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! Goodluck!! I hope I helped!! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
