HoweveR, I go with a lot of light puRples, suttle pinks, and *TONS* of white and A LOT of black eyelineR -- I find that Really appReciates bRown eyes. 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!! Feel fRee to come back to me if you eveR need moRe suggestions. Hope I helped!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

Hope I helped ya!
