I have green [they change color to blue sometimes] eyes & beige skin.
A lot of girls at school overdo their makeup, but I just wanna do something that looks pretty yet not too heavy.
What makeup [from eyeliner to eyeshadow] can I use that compliments me?
Also I have dark brown/blackish hair.

    if you dont want anything heavy at all, I would suggest no eyeliner or eye shadow. And just curl the lashes and use alot of mascara. Lancome hypnose is a good one. And use some brow pencil and a natural lip gloss

    Foundation: Find a foundation that EXACTLY matches your skin. Sometimes, if it’s too dark, it makes your face look orangey. Ask a salesperson or someone to help you match.
    Mascara: Black-brown mascara, just on your top lashes, looks pretty.
    Eyeshadow: You could do a light beigey-greeny color, with a slight shimmer [look in the Wet N' Wild selection, and on the back it says 'Looks great on green, hazel, and brown eyes'. It has a light green, a dark green, and that light shimmer brown I was talking about].
    Eyeliner: A darker brown would look good. Don’t put it all around your eyes, just on the bottom where your lashes are [on your waterline], and on the top where your lashes are.
    Lipgloss: A nude looking one, any random Lip Smackers flavor. I usually use a vanilla one, the kind with a stick that you dip into it it [and the stick is attatched to the top, and you unscrew the top and out comes the stick...I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, sorry].
    Good luck, and have fun! :]

    I have green eyes that turn bluish as well, so I got some answers for ya girl. (-:

    So glad I can help here, I always wondered the same thing. I kind of stumbled acrossed this combo and have recieved soooo many compliments that I can’t wait to share it with you.

    I am a no muss no fuss girl, I love make-up when it enhances beauty but like you I hate the over done look. It ages the wearer and can look clownish.

    I just use light base makeup to smooth out differences in my skin tone, then I apply a shimmery light purple eyeshadow to my lower lid, on the top I apply a very light almost transparent white shimmer. For eyeliner I apply a smokey charcoal gray color to only the edges of the eye on top to elongate them and enhance them slightly, (our green eyes are a gift, less people have green eyes in the world then any other color, we definately don’t want to take too much focus away from them). Then I line the inside of the lower lid, and lightly add some dark brown water proof mascara (incase I get stuck in the rain, I don’t want to miss out on a kiss in the rain froma handsome boy just because my makeup smeared,…lol). Then I finish with setting powder and gloss. It’s simple, takes less then 5 minutes, looks really lighty airy and unmade up, and like I said I get so many compliments. I have even had girls tell me I am so lucky to be naturally beautiful, if only they knew.

    You sound like a gorgeous girl, work it! hehe

    I hope this helps.

    My favorite look for anyone is a light gold eyeshadow (Too Faced), shimmery bronzer (Too Faced), and rose tinted lip gloss (CoverGirl).
