What makeup would look good on me? I have black hair, green eyes, and I'm pretty pale.?

I like dark makeup but I don't think it really looks that good on me.What makeup would look good on me? I have black hair, green eyes, and I'm pretty pale.?
You sound like you have pretty coloring. Accentuate your expressive eyes with a complementary color. Purple is complementary to green--purple eyeshadow will make the green color of your eyes pop. You like dark makeup, right? Purple eyeshadow will look stunning paired with a thin line of black eyeliner and a swipe of black mascara on your lashes. Another option is to line your eyes with purple eyeshadow. Choose a slightly shimmery royal purple eyeshadow to really bring out your eyes.


You can also use brown or bronze eyeshadow, if you want to stick to neutral or more subtle tones.





With such dark eyemakeup, you're going to want to stick to subtle cheeks so you don't go overboard on your makeup. Stay in the same color family as your eye makeup--try a cool pink blush. For your lips, anything goes, but make sure the color is in the same color family as your blush and your eyeshadow (read: mauve, berry, or pink lipgloss, but see if you can find one of these lipglosses with gold shimmer. These will subtly plump your lips without drawing attention away from your eyes).

if you use green or brown shades on ur eyes it will mostly likely look nice.


light pink blush.


light lip gloss.

Since you have really nice features, but you're pale. Try some glowing moisturizer or bronzer. Like Jergens Glow [in Fair] for your face and Physician Formula 'Shimmer Strips' bronzers in ';Miami Strip'; or ';Vegas Strip'; to highlight your face alittle. %26amp; Keep the rest of your face as neutral as possible. Sometimes I like to use ';Benetint'; by Benefit. It's a lip tint/cheek stain. It'll give you a natural ';just kissed'; or ';I just sucked on a red lollipop all day'; look. Depending how much you use. I use very little to enhance, but maintain my natural pout. Try it, and let me know if you like it. =)
Have you tried anything dark violet like? like a violet/black smoky?
Purple eyeshadow looks great with green eyes.
Different shades of brown will look good with your green eyes.


Try lighter more neutral tones for day and darker smokier tones for night.


Pick one thing to focus on, if you're doing a neutral eye, have fun with a brighter lip colour, if you're doing a bright or smoky eye, use a pale tone.


A light blush will add colour to your pale skin as well.
for your green eyes I'd do a brown or gold tone and it will also give your skin more color.
I'm pale and have green eyes too and I've found 2 eyeshadows that look good. One is brown and the other is purple. They are both maybelline and the purple is called lux lilac and the brown is silken taupe.


I put eyeliner on then the shadow and some mascara.





And sometimes, with the purple, I put black eyeliner on the bottom and then a line of white eyeliner on the top lid and then the purple shadow. It kind of makes my eyes look brighter.
i also have black hair and green eyes...i usually line my upper lid with black liquid liner and my lower with a black pencil liner, with lots of mascara and for eyeshadow choose a charcoal it really looks nice with green eyes and i wear pinkish gloss
you'll learn how to work foundation %26amp; blush- i still have trouble with that, but i suggest brown, sparkly gold, %26amp; purple for eyeshadow. %26amp; be careful with eyeliner cause it'll be easy to look faux-goth with the black hair
Haha, wow i'm so envious =) i love green eyes





Anyway, green eyes are amazing to work with. For eyeshadow the idea is to wear a complimentary shade -browns (e.g. chocolate tones) really help to bring out the color of your eyes (and you like dark makeup!). If you have dark green eyes, copper and gold highlights are amazing. Apricots make really good highlighters too. Purples also have the same effect - they can make your eyes that much more intense - however since you have a paler complexion, try to avoid shades that are too dark - u'd be better off with none if its too dark for you.





You can also wear crimson (or darker) shades of red for an intense look, as dark red compliments green surprizingly well.





Don't wear any blues - they don't bring out anything in green eyes, unfortunatly - try to avoid getting purples and pinks with blue undertones. Silver isn't as amazing as gold, so i wouldn't use it. Focus on warm colors, and avoid the cooler ones





1. First use your highlighter (it can be the apricot colored one, or if you prefer, something like crystalline before u put the apricot/copper/gold highlighters) - apply to the whole eye and blend it just above the crease





2. Then use the actual eye shadow (eg. the purples, browns, reds) by applying it on the middle of the eyeline and then blending up and out towards the crease. you can also blend some under your lower lashes


or


Apply from the inner side of ur eyelid and brush out, making it thicker as u go along.


+ eyeliner and mascara (always black - it defines your eyes much much more than brown - and you have black hair! =) )





for blush, choose whatever pink that matches ur natural blush the most





for your lips choose a sheer gloss with a pink tinge - like one with a rosy tint. Color for your lips only need to be about a shade darker than your natural color.





=) good luck!
