> Most of the make-up I buy is cheap, but some things I can't do without! Oh! I think we have exactly the same skin tone. It is hard! Everything is made for pinkish pale.
I know, what's the deal with that?
>I think you would really like that Bare Mineral "warmth" if you can get your hands on it.
I will definitely look for it!
> Here's my everyday (10 minutes max) Neutrogena under eye cream (or whatever you like) Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for eyes. The one I bought is even to pale for my ghostly white skin "light 10", I'd go one darker. This next is GREAT if you're in a hurry: Cover Girl eye enhancers (3-pk eyeshadow) #110 Shimmering sands. Really pretty with blond hair! I rarely use the darkest, but light under brow and medium on rest. Then use the light a little over brow and in corners of eyes!
Sounds pretty!
> I don't know if you like colors, my eyes are blue, but my niece stole this from ME!! Her eyes are brown.(She's breathtaking) Take a blue pencil and line bottom lid, I use maybelline dusky navy or whatever I have laying around. Do you have brushes? A MUST. A small flat brush. Do you have Cosco? I got a cheap Pack of good brushes there. THEN...take your brush and wipe it across Covergirl eyeshadow in violet frappe(or closest you can find) and reline your eyes OVER the blue liner. It will set it forever.
I have green eyes, they're kind of an army green. Here's my routine: after using Revlon Colorstay foundation and powder, I apply an ivory eyeshadow from lash to brow, then I use my blush in the crease - in a very pale coral/tan color. I then use a brush with powder on it to blend it all very well.
Then I add the same blush on the cheekbone, and finish with mascara, eyebrow pencil and lipstick. This makes for a very natural look, which goes well with a dark red lipstick (which I love!).
For night or a special occasion I will add liner, usually dark brown, but sometimes green and occasionally black. I do the same thing you do, I apply the liner then brush eyeshadow over it.
This is fun!
