Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
I'd like to thank you, first of all.. for making this question somewhat 'enjoyable', if that's the right word? I just liked your style of writing; it was clear, flowed smoothly, and was written with plenty of detail.
But wow, what a heart wrenching situation. =/ I'm really sorrie to hear that you feel this way about yourself. Nobody deserves to ever have this type of notion about themselves - it's just awful! :[ And if it's any consolation, I'm sure you're being much too hard on yourself. I bet you're a gorgeous girl! :D
Also, I realize you submitted this question quite some time ago now. I apologize for my delayed response, but I figure it's better late than never. Hopefully you can still find some use in what I have to say.
And as far as your hair goes, I'm not the greatest in that department! I say experimenting until you find something you like, would be your best bet. Also, each time you get your hair cut/done/styled, I suggest asking the stylist for their opinion of products that would be most suitable for you.
And now onto make up. I see that was a big portion of your question. And boy oh boy, do I have a whole lot to say about that. Before I begin, let me start off by saying that I haven't a clue what "that side hair cut" is, but I assure you that my make up routine looks good on many and all hair styles! Not to worrie - make up is my passion; I take it very seriously!!! Now, I have fairly tan skin, huge brown eyes and dark brown hair..(just so ya know, but judging from your description, I still say you'll look just fine with my recommendations).
****FOR FOUNDATION:
I use Covergirl, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it!! It's great, at a good price, and comes in 3958625869 shades, so you're BOUND to find one to fit your skin tone!!!
Here's a link of my exact product:

Now, that's kind of a bad example as far as the shades go. I use the "Natural Biege", but it's NOWHERE NEAR as dark as it is in the photo.
Here is a better link of the shades it offers:

****EYE SHADOWS:
I always pick my eye shadow according to my outfit. I tend to go with a lot of light purples, mellow yellows, suttle pinks, and *TONS* of white; then I like to apply lots and lots 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 eye shadow you wish to wear, then using a bristle brush, dab a bit of gray eye shadow over it!! It's gorgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as for what BRAND of eye shadow, I've noticed any is fine, but Maybelline is best! ;D
****FOR MASCARA:
I recommend Maybelline's '3XL' - most amazing mascara I've ever come upon!! It adds GREAT volume, and REALLY lifts to curl! Another good one I use, is Maybelline's 'Sky High Curves'!
****FOR EYELINER:
When it comes to liquid eye liner or pencil eye liner, it's just a personal preference as to which we use. Certain things suit certain people. However, if you ask... chances are that most people will tell you that pencil is a better choice for them. 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 is. Also, if you plan on carrying it around in a purse or pocket.. you risk the chance that the liquid may ruin [though I don't suggest carrying eye liner in your pocket]. If you DO mess it up, just take a tissue and slowly run it along the rim of your eye lid.. it'll come right up.
Now, the desired effect of eye liner is to create the illusion of darkness just above the lashline to enhance the look of the lashes. To apply it, gently hold your eye lid down, and start at the inner part of the lid [closest to your nose]. Then just simply draw a thin line smoothly and evenly along the top and bottom lid, getting as close to the lashes as possible. If it looks like there is a space between the liner and your lashes, then I guess you just have to thicken the line a bit. Or, if you'd rather have a very thin line, I guess you just have to try again. One last thing, make shore you draw the line all the way to the outside corner.
If you're still experiencing difficulties, don't get discourage. It will probably take some practice -- it took me a while at first too. Now, I have it down incredibly well!!
And as for products, I think the two best brands of eye liner 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". Good news though, it's 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 eye liner on the market!! 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!! [:
Anyhow, I'm sorrie for the long reply. I get too into these make up questions, but if you'd like further assistance, don't ever hesitate to me directly! :D

You sound really pretty, I bet you are! If you aren't conviced, just expieriemnt with different kinds of makeup until you find what looks good on you. Work with a bunch of different colors and you'll figure out what makes you look best. But remember not to worry about looks so much. If you're nice and friendly then people will like you no matter what you look like.

You're being too hard on yourself! You already said you think you have a great complexion and pretty eyes... so focus on that and try to play it up. Afterall... nobody likes EVERYTHING about their bodies/faces... and you're off to a good start if you can recognize your best features.

awww you sound pretty! i would go with just some black eyliner on the bottom to make your eyes pop, but if you put it on the inside its makes your eyes look smaller. uhm maybe some silver eyeshadow? (maybelline) i think silver looks good on anyone. with your hair do a cute zig-zag part, or just wear it a little off center.

hey hun i prolly can*t help much but i*ll do my best. Unfortionately makeup prolly won*t raise your self esteem but sometimes it can boost your confidence a little. For eye liner I think you should use black or a brown. Don*t use strange colors that looks weird sometimes. Since your eyes are blue please don*t wear blue eyeshadow it really doesn*t look too apealing. Try like a natural color or a pinkish. I reccomend more expensive brands of makeup although they cost more they really do have good stuff. You should check out Nordstrom, Sephora, Jones store, Macys, or any other stores like that! The eye liner i happen to use is Chanel eye definer i think in black but it*s about $30 altho i LOVE it! For lip gloss try a light color that*s either nude or a light pinkish that always looks good! hope i helped and i*m sure you*ll look BEAUTIFUL! xoxo, chelsea

awww sweety you really shouldnt make your self feel so low

use black eyeliner for your eyes to bring them out
the eyeshadow depends on your skintone
you should play around with the different colors and see what looks good same with the lip glosses
hope that helps if you need anything else drop one in my inbox ♥
