AccutaneGrl 0 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hey everyone. i need some make up help. i just bought a few make eyeshadows and some lipstick and now i want more! im just clueless on what colors to get. i have brown eyes, brown hair with blonde highlights, and fair skin but sometimes i tan. what colors look good on brown eyes, and can u recommend any specific mac colors that go well together?my other question is ... should you change your lip/blush color if you change eyeshadow colors or is it always ok to wear the same color on your lips? thank so much.

Treasure 1 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Well, seeing as I dont know ur undertone, I'll just suggest some colours that I think will complement ur eye's & hair colourNeutrals:Brule and Shroom (both make great brow highlighters) shroom has a subtle shimmer, whereas brule doesnt, it has a matte finish)Honesty- a lovely bronze colour with gold sparkles. Only problem with this shadow is that it's a luster, so it might be hard to "make it work" if you know what I meanMulch- this is a BEAUTIFUL colour. This is a stable of mine, it's a dark brown/reddish colour, and has a gorgeous shimmer to it. You can wear it alone or blend it with shroom/brule to create a smokey look definately get this shade!Naked lunch is a nice colour too.Greens-Club- absolutely gorgeous colour, you can use this as a liner or to create a smokey kinda lookHumid- is a nice colour tooSwimming- is also a really nice shadeBlues-Deep truth- darker bluesteamy- a lighter shadePinks would also be nice (but I cant recommend any cos I've not tried them, also I think some violet shades would be great)hope that helps?!

AccutaneGrl 0 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 thanks for your help treasure! sorry i didnt get back to u about the undertone...but i dont even know what mine is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Treasure 1 Share Posted June 23, 2006 No problems To work out ur skin colour undertone, look at the insides of ur arm, if the colour of ur veins are of a blueish colour, then it's more likely that you've got a pink undertone. If ur veins look greenish, then you've got a yellow undertone That's a useful tip to know when ur looking for foundations and stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AccutaneGrl 0 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 ok well i guess i have a pink undertone then! also..since u seem to be pretty knowledgable in make up...is it ok to wear the same lip/blush color with any eyeshadow color or do u have to get ones that coordinate? what color lips would look good with blues/green/pink eyeshadows? thanks for the help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DolceDolce 0 Share Posted June 24, 2006 with brown eyes purple colours look really great!!a rule about lip colour &eyeshadow: if you're eyes are strong (you're wearing quite alot of eyeshadow) pick a more neutral lip.. dont pick a bright colour because your eyes are already the focus & they shouldnt be competing!

*.:*mezZy*:.* 0 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think beige/golden shades look nice with dark eyes and it gives you that 'au naturelle' look like you're not wearing loads of makeup. These particularly compliment yellow undertones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
