Make Up Advice Please?

Hi everyone. I have dark hair, dark brown eyes (quite big and almond shaped) and tanned skin. Quite small but full lips. I am awful at applying makeup and usually just wear mascara, eyeliner and some gloss. Could someone please give me some tips and advice on a good daytime and nighttime make up regime for please? Would really appreciate it, thanks!Make Up Advice Please?
With the features you described my advice would not to wear a lot of tan and brown eye make up! Doing something fun for evening with a two tone! The best way to get a bright colors is to use a Liquid or cream of some sort and THEN a powder on top! One color on your inner eye and a different one on the outer lid! I love eye make up but its hard to explain with out being able to show! Hope it helps some!!Make Up Advice Please?
Okay, so i have brown hair and brown eyes too.


Here is the procedures i go through, (not everyday, i don't wear makeup everyday).


1.) Apply concealer on pimples/moles. I don't find it natural to place it everywhere.


2.) Add blush to the apples of cheeks


3.) Add some light brown or tan eyeshadow to my crease.


4.) Apply liquid eyeliner on top lid ONLY, and very close to lashes.


5.) Curl eyelashes and then apply brown mascara.
I don't have specific advice on what you should do as far as make up goes, but when ever I have a make up question, I go to my favorite counter at the department store and ask one of their specialist for advice. It usually includes purchasing something but it would seem to me that you are in the market for a few products. They will work with your coloring and teach you how to apply the make up. The consultation is free.
I pretty much have the same features you described yourself with. I'll tell you my steps as well, and its the same thing I would suggest to customers of mine as well.


1. Apply foundation all over your face, make sure you don't miss any creases like between your eyelid and eyelashes, as well as don't be afraid to get it on your lips as it will give all over coverage.


2. Apply blush (lighter for daytime wear and a little heavier then you probably feel comfortable with for night)


3. Apply a light colored shimmer all over your eyelid from one end of your eyelashes to the other.


4. For more natural day time looks I normally stick with a coppery shimmer to add to the crease, bring your chin up so your looking almost down at the mirror and use a brush to blend the color starting directly in your crease working your way out. It'll take a while to blend probably 30 strokes for each eye. For a more dramatic night time look i usually use more of a burgundy color and do the same thing


5. Next you'll take a smaller brush (I like to use the eyeliner brush) and take a darker color start from the outside corner of you eye in the crease and blend in keeping it as much in the crease as possible. Then depending on how natural or dramatic blend the color from the outside corner of your eye in about a third of the way making it fade into the shimmer. Natural I'd use a very dark brown. If your feeling bold go with green, blue, or black


6. Next apply eyeliner both on top and bottom. I do the inner parts of my eyelids and at the lashes at well to make it last longer but if your keeping it natural id do whatever you normally do.


7. Mascara add at least 3 coats, 5 for night time


8. Lips I always use a very light mauve color lip liner, but i hate lining my lips so I do a general outline and then color the inside in and then blend with lip gloss.


9. Contouring is definitely advanced but it adds to the look I use 2 shades darker of a foundation and i take a contour brush and lightly apply a line (if you make a fish face) at the line underneath the cheekbone and since im a little plus sized i follow underneath my chin from ear to ear. If you make it a little to dark qtips are great for blending and you can always use a little more of your foundation color to blend.





Just remember its easier to add more then it is too take away, so start light and add as you feel comfortable
try something like this:

i've tried and and am kinda on the same page as you, and this look is really easy to recreate and she tells you everything you need.





if you need help with what any of the products or brushes are, let me know!

for day try a natural shadow like a pink and use clear mascara with a thin clear gloss. even my lil sis can manage that. for night try a royal purple shadow, some black liner and brown mascara. wear natural lips. i dont hav tips for how to apply makeup but that should be easy enough.
