I have daRk bRown eyes, and daRk bRown haiR with tan skin. A lot of the time I pick my make up accoRding to my outfit, but not always. 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 ALWAYS 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 - $17.00], 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!! =D

Well, you're thirteen, so I would advise that you take it easy on the makeup. I know, everyone wears all these bright, wild colors... But understated makeup is where it's at. If you can tell you're wearing makeup, you're wearing too much... you don't want to look like a clown, do you?

Anyway, I recommend you start with a concealer, to take care of undereye circles and zits. Just dab it on and pat to blend. You want to use a shade that's lighter than your skintone on your undereyes, but not too much--just a tich.

If you have very blotchy skin, go with a very light, thin, oil-free foundation. If you have more even skin, use a light, oil-free tinted moisturizer. This is an important step; it provides a base for the rest of your makeup and covers up blotchiness. Just make sure to blend well and make sure your foundation is a PERFECT match to your skintone.

For your eyes, it all depends on your lashes. Do you have thick, dark, dramatic lashes? If so, then use a coat of brown or black mascara, and don't bother with eyeliner. If your eyelashes aren't dramatic, you'll want to use black mascara and a dark brown or black eyeliner--applied in a THIN line. It's all about making your eyes pop, not about getting black stuff in your eye.

For shadow, I suggest going muted, but sultry. Shades of brown work for everyone, but the best way to go is to colormatch your eyelid. Get up in a mirror and look at the apparent "color" of your eyelid. Does it seem purplish? Greenish? Bluish? Whatever you pick, you need to pick a darker, but muted, version of the same, and a few lighter shades in the same color family.

For example, my eyelids seem to be a very light purplish color, so I take a few shades of purple. I coat my whole eyelid, up to the brow, with a light one, and, using a technique I learned from a Mary Kay consultant, I put a small, well-blended stroke of dark purple in the crease of my eye, and swing it down to where my eyeliner would be. You want to pick a muted version of your own little "skintone" and do the same. Greenish? use a muted, warm green and a light green. Bluish? Use a dark cadet blue-gray and maybe a light blue.

For lips, I suggest a muted gloss. Too glossy and you look like a little kid trying to be cool. Too muted and you miss the point. I have good luck with Smackers, but I tend to go more subdued than you seem to want to.

For blush, pick a shade that's a little darker than your skin color, but not much, and lightly brush across your cheekbone, and dab once on your forehead. Blend well, and make sure you don't get too much. You look REALLY trashy if you overdo blush... you shouldn't be able to tell you're wearing any.

Lastly, get some translucent powder, or powder that's your skin color, and brush it over everythin to set it. Just lightly. This'll help control shine; and believe me, all of us teenagers need shine control.

If you wear too much makeup, or makeup that's too dark, you will look like a total clown... or worse yet, you'll blend in. If you want to stand out, muted and natural is the way to go. You can be sexy without being sexed up... It's all about being confident in your own skin, and what better way to do that than to play up your own natural coloration? Best of luck.

oneandonly345 answered Thursday April 21 2005, 4:17 pm:
i would use eyelinerrr
it always makes sexy eyes look sexy-er. just either to the rim of your eyelid (buy your eyelashes) and then the bottom inside lip. or do the bottom and top lip. (do that by putting the point on the bottom lip of your eyelid and then closing your eyes and moving across your eye) it looks really cute.
i would also try some colored eye shadow.. like pink blue gree .. orange.. stuff to match what you are wearing sence you a dark skin.
sence you have black hair you can also do some shimmer.. shimmer stuff looks best with black hair.
hope i helped

If you don't want to go with heavy makeup than try some black or blue eyeliner and black mascara. Then use some slightly bright lip gloss. :)

o0 yes! l0l Okay do not use dark makeup! Use a dark brown eyeliner. For eyeshadow do light colors like goldish,tans, and light browns. Use a cute light lipgloss and a little bit of mascara. You dont need any foundation or anything so you're fine. x0
