it can be really confusing but it depends on the look you are going for.





if you want a natural look but really gorgeous eyes buy a white eye pencil and put a small v on the v of your eyes nearest your nose with some brown mascara this should make your eyes look much larger





everything else takes practise and knowing what sort of look you want marieclare has some good tips though so have a look on the website





hope this helps





ps. with your colouring you should be able to wear almost any colours but i would leave alone pinks and blues xxx
never use anything that is close to your eye color it will make your eye ';dissapear'; into the makeup


instead use the opposite color to your eye.. for example ppl with blue eyes look great in earth tones like brown, and ppl with brown eyes look great in pastel colors like purple and pink..this will make your eye really ';pop';


depending on your eyeshape depends on where to put the eyeliner usually stariting from the outter corner to 1/2 to


3/4 of the way in never going all the way to the inner corner b/c that will make your eye appear smaller.


always remember less during the day and if your going out you can put it on a little heavier.


always apply a light color all over the lid up to the brow 1st then the middle color on the lid and the darkest color to the crease--- thats the basic but again it depends on your eye shape you can go to your local salon or spa for a makeup lesson that will show you what is best for you... never use colored eyeliner of mascara for that stick with browns and blacks... oh and if you apply a lid primer 1st it will help the eyeshadow stay on longer... hope this helps :) i almost forgot, when your finished applying your eyeshadow apply just a little bit of the lightest color on the inner corner of you lid this will also give your eye a more open look
you can make your eyes stand out by..


shaping and defining your eyebrows


hi-lighting the browline


using eyeliner on the outer upper edge of your eye from the middle to the outside end of your eye (and the bottom just a little if you wish)


use mascara on the top and bottom eyeslashes


use a little colour on the lid to give your look a little oomph





hope ths helped :)
i have been told i have beautiful eyes, and to be quite honest. i have smack dead lovely eyes, if i might say so myself. but it all depends on what you want. if you want eyes that stand out, put your eyeliner on top of your eyes,and on the top liner of your eyes, but only half way to the middle of the top liner of your eye....put it on the bottom liner of your eyes, and smear it just barley under your eyes. i put on a very pretty shade of beige (almost) and make sure it sparkles(a little not to much) it'll change the color of your eyeshadow where it touches your eyeliner. put the light beige on the top lid over the liner , and then get th next step up shade beige and put it in the middle of your lid, then put a white-ish/beige right under your eyebrow.

Have fun and experiment
ok, if u want to make your eyes really stand out, use the exact opposite color of your actual eye color. so if you have green eyes use gold, if you have blue eyes use a deep purple, if you have brown eyes use a greener color. u want to get the corner of ur eye, the cheek bone on the side and right below the brow. u should mix colors to get the best shimmery effect. make sure that the spots i listed are not caked on, u only need a couple strokes. your darkest spot should be the crease of your eye. now eyeliner is harder because you really need to look at your skin tone. if you have paler skin, use a brown color. if you have tan skin use eggplant and dark skin black. on the top lid put it right on the lash line. on the bottom lid put it above the lash line so it will not give a dark effect. then use a mascara that lengthens ur lashes and then use black to darken them for a day out sexy look!
Really you need to just try out lots of different things and decide what suits you. You can't always just go by colouring - there are subtle differences. Try going to the body shop and getting a makeover - they're great! (and they dont test on animals)
I've found that using eyeliner all along the top lid and then only from the outter corner to the middle of your eye on the bottom (getting thinner as it goes out from the corner) makes your eyes look bigger- which is a good thing! Anthing you can do to make your eyes look bigger is excellent because it's been scientifically shone that humans are attracted to bigger eyes because they mean health and innocence, like a child. Eyeliner all the way around the eye is very artificial-looking and it actually creates the illusion of smaller eyes. Big no no!


Also, taking a light-catching eyeshaddow that's a shade or two lighter than your skin and has just the TINIEST hint of a glitter base, and putting it right at the inner corners of your eyes- beside the nose- also makes the eyes look bigger. You have to smooth it over so that it doesn't look like there's makeup there, and blend it in with the shadow over your top lids and smooth it a little bit under your bottom lids, not reaching where the eyeliner stops. (And remember- the eyeliner must stop at the middle of your eye, where your eye is the fullest!)


I also drag my eyeliner out and up just a TINY bit at the outer ends to create the illusion of longer lashes. When done propperly, it looks very natural. You'll have to experiment with that because it's different for different eye shapes and it took me a long time to figure it out.


Black eyeliner is good if you have dark features (still, use sparingly), but if you have pale features I would use a dark brown or blue eyeliner. Blue eyeliner can make blue eyes pop!


Mascara should be thicker on the outter corners of the eyes, thinner as you get to the inner corner. The outside should always be darker and the inside should always be lighter. It makes you look healthy and exotic.


Hope that helped a little!
When I'm doing my make-up I always tend to use pale colours. My eyes are big and very dark so I tend to be able to get away with lots of eye liner. I put my eyeliner on the bottom and the tom on the insides (not underneath my lashes, but above) I use Miss Sporty eyeliner pencil in black, it's the best i've come across and you can pick it up for a couple of quid from Superdrug. Rimmel, Maxfactor, Maybeline all seem rather crap. If you've got very light eyes, like yours.... then stick to the ';less is more'; look. If you use lots of black, then you'll drown out your lovely bluey eyes. Try with your eyeline, only going halfway along your eyes (above your bottom lashes) this will make them look defined and make your eyes look more longer :) I use L'oreal Architect Mascara, and I think it's the best, it's rather pricey at about 8 or 9 quid, and sometimes you can get rather good bargains at Superdrug if you keep your eyes out (pardon the pun) But it makes your lashes look fantastic, long, thick and it lasts!! (they do it in waterproof, which is even better!), which means you can get away with the 'less is more'. Contrast your eyeshadows (keeping the darker shade on the outside of your lids, and blend it into a ligher shade) this will make your eyes look more 'catty'....!





Just experiment with your makeup and you'll come across a style that you like and you know suits you :) Hope this helps hun,! :D xx

For day you want to go light. I use alot of neutrals: browns, taupes, goldtones and throw in some eggplants or teals depending on what I'm wearing. I almost always use 3 shades or colors: lightest on brow bone, mid color on lid and dark in the crease. Or lighest on the brow bone dark in the outer half or the crease and a contrasting lighter color in the inner half of the crease (ie teal on the inner part, golden brown on the outer. It sounds weird but looks phenomenal) Brown or black eyeliner only on the upper lids looks best for day but alot of girls rim their whole eye in liner. That makes your eyes look smaller!!





For night I like to use power or liquid liner (powder will be in cake form just like eyeshadow). after your other eye makeup is on use a liner brush to put black or super dark purple liner on the top lids, thickening the line at the the outer corner and line the bottom lashes to the middle of your eye, then smudge lightly to soften. Use greys and blues for a really modern smoky eye--I like to use eggplants and purples which really makes your eyes pop. Then two coats of mascara. Allure.com has great smoky eye tips.





To make eyes really pop use a highlighting powder on the inside corners of eyes. Use a brush to sweep over brow bone and down into the corners very lightly. This looks especially great with heavier eyeliner since it really brightens the eye and with heavy eyeliner you don't want to go overboard on color shadow. Just don't really want to see the highlighter, just want some shimmer when the light catches it.
