What color of foundation and eyecolor?

i dont think i am very pretty but what color of foundation and eyeshadow should i use and how plz helpWhat color of foundation and eyecolor?
I like the trublend by cover girl make up.


Its very forgiving if you dont pick out exactly the right color (because lets face it, its plain impossible to tell what shade it is in the bottle) - and often you can find sampler packs with several shades of the stuff at Walmart (sigh, the evil empire) or CVS.


Brown is an eyeliner shade that works on most folks. The problem is that most people use a line that is too wide and it screams ';MAKE UP'; instead of just accentuating your lashline. Use a powder shadow and a very fine brush.


If you have them near you, the make up line they have at KOHLS is nice. And they have testers of all the colors (make sure that you walk out of the store and look at your face before you buy, because the lighting is horrible in the store) - plus its not TOooooo expensive.


Good LuckWhat color of foundation and eyecolor?
Almay has eye shadow that is made to match the color of your eyes. They have the perfect colors of shadow and liner. It also gives instructions on the back for the perfect application. I use the color for brown eyes and it looks great. If you dont feel comfortable using mascara, just curl your lashes and apply a clear coat, (like the conditioner some companies make). As for foundation, get a color that is very close to the color of your face. Sometimes, you cant find a perfect color and have to blend two together. That is what I do and it is a perfect shade. When applying foundation, the trick is to blend. Make sure you dont have a line on your chin. Blend, Blend, Blend.





Putting on makeup takes practice, so if it doesnt turn out right, dont give up.
Go to the department store like Macy's Dillard's, Filene's or what have you and schedule a free consultation with one of the cosmetics ladies. I suggest Clinique because it's not mad expensive like Lancome or Prescriptives or Dior and it's really good quality. They can help you select eyeshadow colors that make the most of your beautiful peepers and can help you find a good foundation with the right color and the right amount of coverage. They'll teach you a lot of other things besides, and it's fun to do.





If you are just starting out, try some of the light and easy lines of cosmetics, like Jane, Bonne Bell or Maybelline, which you can get at Target and don't cost much. Have fun with this!





I think it's L'Oreal that has a chart made of clear plastic with swatches of color to show their shades of makeup. You hold it up to your wrist and whichever square disappears is the shade that is closest to your own.





If you are very young (I am guessing that you are) you probably have great skin and do NOT need to wear heavy makeup, so use a light-wear water-based foundation to keep your complexion looking nice.





Use a sponge and not your fingers to apply foundation, because your fingers can carry bacteria back into the bottle and that can cause breakouts and other problems. Also, change your makeup every six months or so to avoid bacteria buildup.





For eyeshadow, use a light layer of light colors in the daytime to brighten your eyes, and use smokier, more dramatic tones of eyeshadow at night. I know the packages of eyeshadow have a little chart on the back that tell you how to use three or four colors at once on the different parts of your eyelid, but you can't believe everything you read. Try different things to see what works for you.





Rather than powder eyeshadow try cream-based or liquid eyeshadow. The powder can dry your eyelids out and make them crepey by the time you are 25. Clinique Touch Base is wonderful stuff and comes in really lovely shades.





Use something gentle to clean your face and wash your face every night to get the makeup off so you don't break out. Try PhisoDerm or a gentle face wash. Don't use anything too harsh or abrasive - it can cause skin problems later on.





Listen -- we are all beautiful, for real. Learn to find the beauty in yourself. Concentrate on those features you know you are proud of and play those things up. I have always been happy with my long neck, high forehead, and nice shoulders so I emphasize those things, even though some people might not think a long neck is a sign of beauty, to me it is! So what else really matters?





Have fun and celebrate your pretty self! Enjoy your makeup shopping ---
foundation should be the about same color as yur skin(put a blotch by the bottom of yur eye and if it blends in good its the rite color) eye shadow should be neutral unless yur like me and you wear black eyeliner and dark blue around my eyes
do a contrasting color eye shadow to make your eyes pop out. from day to day, do a lighter shade and at night, do it slightly darker for effect. pick a foundation that matches your skin tone. it's meant to enhance your skin tone, not change the color, plus it will look fake
