I have small like chinese/cat eyes -light brown eyes and light brown skin. My hair color is a light brownish color. Also,what color shimmering lip gloss should I wear- peach- brown-clear? ThanksWhat color eyeshadow should I use to make my eyes pop???
well i would suggest this color called ';lucky penny'; with clinique. Its bronze colored with gold, and then i would get a (not so flashy) golden shimmer powder to apply over that color to make it a little less ';brown';. The golden shimmer on light brown skin looks so cute. Thats how i do mine when i tan. Or if you're feeling extreme try electric aqua eyeshadow to corner of your eyes on the lash line. It looks cute, but you have to be confident to wear it! Lots of luck xoxo.
ps. wear a peach gloss or clear.What color eyeshadow should I use to make my eyes pop???
A metallic or light, shimmery bronze, copper, gold or lilac color would look best to compliment your eyes and complexion. Don't use anything too dark or shimmery or it will make your eyes look smaller. Line just your upper lashline with a dark black/brown pencil and curl and apply mascara to just your upper lashes to really open your eyes. As for lips, peach, copper or gold-based colors look great.
Eyeshadow: Sparkly Gold
Lip Gloss: Light Pink
Hope this helps!!!!! :D
lilacs and pinks look best on brown eyes and with a little black eyeliner on the outside edges of your eyelid it looks great.
for the lips a peach looks good with a neutral eyeshadow and a clear with a bright eyeshadow.

Makeup tips for deep-set eyes
http://geethabeautytips.blogspot.com/200鈥?/a>
okay, purples look best on brown eyes. i'd do a lighter purple perhaps a lavender during the day and a darker purple maybe a plumn color for night. i think pinks and peaches really make lips stand out and look really full and beautiful on darker complected girls.
light to med purple on lids only. line eyes with black at lash line very exact.
i like nude lips because it does look natural. make sure you dont use too much of whatever lipstick or you'll look dead
use depth applying skills to make your eyes look bigger and chinese eyes give you a big canvas to work with
if you want a crease wear false lashes.(a strip)
Start with using a sharp eyeliner pencil and really work it into the roots of your eyelashes. Use a dark brown. Just use your finger and rub off the excess if you need to. Also line the bottom lid making the progressively thicker as you go out [teardrop would have less that the outer part of your eye]
Apply some shimmer below the eyebrow and on your teardrop to create bigger eyes.
Finishin off with some mascara.
Also sivler eyeshadow are brown eyes best friend. Apply some in the middle of the lid to really make eyes pop.
To alternate... try using blue shadow to line your eye instead of always using brown.
good colours are silver, green and blue.
Peach lip gloss and a med brownish- burgundy shadow applied with a brush to the lid of your eye. finish with mascara and there you have it.
Eye Shadow Color:
If you want a stronger eye you should jump into cooler colours. Such as deep plums, black, darker taupe and midnight blue. These all would shine out your eye.
Lip Gloss:
You could wear peach brown clear however, i would suggest a pale bubble gum peach shimmer gloss. This way it would show your lips more and direct the attention off your eyes.
i use purple eyeshadow and it makes my small brown eyes pop out.
hope i helped

A dark green eyeshadow that would make brown eyes pop would be MAC Humid. But if you're looking for something more inexpensive, Milani Wet/Dry Eyeshadow in Shamrock would be best. It's only $6.99.

What eyeshadow should i use to make my eyes pop?
i have light brown eyes, almost yellowish orangy, medium skin, and black hair.

They also have vibrant eyeshadow colors. I use it all the time and I'm very pleased with the product.What eyeshadow should i use to make my eyes pop?
almay has eyeshadows for certain eye colors... i have dark-sometimes lighter brown eyes and i just recently tried it, it's a trio and you can get it at walmart or whatever for about 5 bucks maybe? give it a try =]
Olive Green or Chocolate Brown with a hint of gold would look gorgeous! Stick to darker, more statement colors since you have dark hair and medium skin.
purples and violets
go with purples. and black eyeliner helps eyes pop too.

How do u make really pretty eyeshadow for a dance show?
people tell me like for example put dark in the crease but what does that mean? could someone please tell me a good idea for eye make up and tell me where ur supposed to put it on ur eye.How do u make really pretty eyeshadow for a dance show?
okay... this is the way you put on eyeshadow to acheive the glamor look.
for BEST results get eyeshadow paint (a cream to put on your eyes before you put on anything, it makes the color stand out and stay on sold at MAC), a eyeshadow bush (to apply eyeshadow), and a blending brush (to make the colors mesh together)
so lets say for example your dress is black with purple parts on it. first put on the paint before anything. then on the lid of your eye put purple eyeshadow with the eyeshadow brush. then under your brow put white eyeshadow, its okay if the purple and white touch. then in the middle (the crease)put black eyeshadow in the shape of pac man. like on your right eye the black part should look like this %26lt; and on your right eye it should look like this %26gt; the ends of the black part should shape your eye. then use your bledning brush and sweep over your entire eye to mix the colors. then put on your black eyeliner, and mascara. the art of putting on eyeshadow is all about learnig which colors go together and blending. if you dont blend you'll look like dracula eyes. hope this helps! let me know !How do u make really pretty eyeshadow for a dance show?
http://beauty.about.com/od/eyeshadow/ind鈥?/a>
hope that helps...
:D
start with mascara then a shimmery eyeshadow in a bronze color then make a small line of liquid eyeliner really close to your lashes so that your will look bigger and finally dab a small amount of a silvery eyeshadow
i think that you should do something dark. you need to put the dark eyeshadow in your crease ( your crease is like the middle of your eyelid sorta) and then you probably want to put some shimmer or sparkles like a little under yopu eyebrow. wear mascara and eyeliner if you want to go with something really dark but when you are using the eyeliner make sure that you do it lite if you want to wear it but you dont want ti to be too dark. i hope this helped what you were looking for!!!
\ %26lt;3 HaYlEy*
get baby lotion and mix it with glitter from poundland then rub it into ur eyes all over n round it ull look sexual dawg
This is going to be long but I love doing makeup and it works really well. Start with a neutral light color like a really light tan or cream color. Add a little bit of water to your eye shadow brush and swirl it in the eye shadow first--it gives the eye shadow a little bit of a shimmery effect. Then, get an angled brush and a darker eye shadow color and start from the outside corner of your eye and sweep it inwards just a little bit and upwards in the crease..the crease is where the top of your eye lid meets the skin under your eye brows. Only bring the darker eye shadow to around the middle part of your eye lid and crease. Finish with wetting a very small brush and swirling it in a VERY light white or cream color (lighter than the first color you used) and apply it to the inner corner of your eyes on both the top and bottom of your eye. I always recommend mascara on anyone and for a dance show, I would recommend eye liner to make your eyes stand out more, but that's your own choice. Good luck!
I have a fondness for light green eye shadow (on a woman, of course).
I don't know why, I just do....

Girls, How do you make that cat-eyes effect with your eyeshadow???
Can you tell me how??
Can i use another color other than black eyeliner so my eyes will stand out??
OH, and what shade of green is good fro darkbrown eyes??Girls, How do you make that cat-eyes effect with your eyeshadow???
I dont know what colors would be good on you since i dont know what you look like, but here is a link that has step by step instructions and what you need to do it. Remember that it is not easy the first time you do it and you should need practice to know how to apply the make-up good!
Have Fun!
http://community.livejournal.com/punk_ma鈥?/a>Girls, How do you make that cat-eyes effect with your eyeshadow???
ITS NOT SO MUCH EYE SHADOW THAT GIVES THAT EFFECT BUT RATHER EYE LINER AND ITS KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT I'LL TRY. YOU USE WHATEVER SHADOW YOU WANT...THEN WITH A BROWN EYELINER (I RECOMMEND ALEXIS VOGEL THICK EYE PENCIL) YOU START WITH THE INNER CORNER OF THE UPPER LID AND LIGHTLY DRAW A LINE ALL THE WAY OUT TO ABOUT 1/8'; PAST THE OUTER CORNER MOVING UPWARD SLIGHTLY. AS THIS LINE IS DRAWN IT GETS THICKER AND THICKER AND THEN YOU FILL IT ALL IT....BUT LIGHTLY. THEN TAKE A QTIP AND SMUDGE IT A LITTLE TO SOFTEN. IT MIGHT TAKE SOME PRACTICE BUT ITS WORTH IT. USE THIS TECHNIQUE FOR EVENING ONLY. ITS A LITTLE MUCH FOR DAYTIME. TRY WWW,ALEXISVOGEL.COM FOR MORE HINTS. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT RIGHT BUT HOPEFULLY. GOOD LUCK.
GREENS WITH BROWN EYES.....WONDERFUL.....OLIVE FOR EVENING AND A LIGHT MINT FOR DAYTIME. NEXT SEASON MIGHT BE DIFFERENT AS FAR AS WHATS ';NEW'; BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO PAY A WHOLE LOT OF ATTENTION TO THAT. I WEAR WHAT LOOKS GOOD NOT WHAT'S ';NEW';. DON'T TAKE ME WRONG......I WATCH VERY CLOSELY TO ANY NEW IDEAS BUT I DECIDE!!!
you can use brown eyeliner and an emerald green might be best , for the cat-eyes it is easier to apply it with a liquid eyeliner, but if you don't want to use a thin brush and don't use a dry shadow
You can use almost any colors. Emerald green would be gorgeous with your eyes. I recommend Clinique's Jaded eyeshadow duo. Here's what you do using an eyeshadow duo: take the light shade and apply it to your entire eyelid, up to the brow or at least higher than the crease. Then, take the darker shade and apply it from your lash line up to the crease of your eyelid. Using a q-tip or eyeshadow applicator, line the upper and lower lashline with the darker shade and blend it out and up very slightly. You can also use eyeliner to achieve this part. Top it all off with lots of masara, focusing on the outer lashes and you are set!
Hope this helps!!
Oh, and a dark brown or grey eyeliner works great for this as well as black. Dark green would be pretty too.

thats where i go
Get the felt triangle from Alexis Vogel use black or dark eyeshadow and fill in the outer bottom edge then drag it up into the crease on the top
The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it's important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue %26amp; peach base with green hue.
Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base. I prefer to dab at bit of MAC's 'paint' on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.
Apply eyeliner. If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.
Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smokey eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner %26amp; the key is to 'smudge it'. You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.
Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila's whipped eye shadows $20. The moist 'mousse' consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe %26amp; pearl.
Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base %26amp; eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line %26amp; blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.
Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match %26amp; blend color with a Q-tip if need be.
Finish with several coats of volumnizing mascara. Tried %26amp; true mascaras (featured in 'Elle' magazine's March 2006 issue) include DiorShow Mascara %26amp; L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Mascara. 'Elle's writer says they are the best volumnizers she's tried.
here is a website for smokey cat eyes
Go to
http://www.kevynaucoin.com
and look at Makeup Lessons.
Get his book ';Making Faces'; from the library or Amazon. It is very good
this is the best way to try it and see how much of a cat eye you want:
buy an angled, thin brush for brows, like m.a.c #266. after applying your shadow (or not if you just want the liner winged out) use a gel liner like m.a.c fluidline or bobby brown gel liner. they are easier to control than a liquid and stay better because both brands are waterproof. apply a small amunt to the brush and keep the liner close to your lashline to start, building to your desired thickness. then, once you get to the outer corner of the eye, flip the brush so the longest tip is facing downward and draw in your line. the brush has a built in straight edge for a clean line. try to avoid the outer part of the liner going too far down the eye, it can make your eyes look droopy instead of uplifted.
another way to do it is to use the brush and simply draw on the shape you want, and fill it in. once you get to the outer part where you want the flipped part to be, its okay to get sloppy. here, if you use the straight edge if a make up wedge sponge with a bit of eye make up remover on it (just a little to dampen the sponge, not too much) you can get a clean straight line simply from the sponge. the remover will clean up the mistakes and make the line straight.
for dark brown eyes: a dark blue green (think peacock green) will make your eyes look lighter. to enhance the dark brown, try a smoky green (like m.a.c fiction or greensmoke) so the focus is still on the eye but not taking away from the darkness of the brown in your eye.
hope this all makes sense, and good luck!

another way to do it is to use the brush and simply draw on the shape you want, and fill it in. once you get to the outer part where you want the flipped part to be, its okay to get sloppy. here, if you use the straight edge if a make up wedge sponge with a bit of eye make up remover on it (just a little to dampen the sponge, not too much) you can get a clean straight line simply from the sponge. the remover will clean up the mistakes and make the line straight.
for dark brown eyes: a dark blue green (think peacock green) will make your eyes look lighter. to enhance the dark brown, try a smoky green (like m.a.c fiction or greensmoke) so the focus is still on the eye but not taking away from the darkness of the brown in your eye.
hope this all makes sense, and good luck!
