Re: makeup advice - March 9th 2011, 05:01 AM

As a girl, I understand the need for looking better I don't wear makeup, but on some days I do wear a light, feminine called Amazing Grace by Philosophy, Lip balm or lip gloss from Bath & Body Works (They have amazing ones!!), Forever Sunshine body lotion (Also from Bath & Body Works) , and I try to use natural acne solutions for my face. I highly reccomend Bath & Body Works!! Just don't wear heavy makeup everyday. But anyway, I'm, pretty you want to look better in order feel better about yourself or empower your self-esteem. The foundation is really about accepting yourself and loving yourself for who you are. Every girl is beautiful inside and out, whether she denies it or believes it with her heart I know it's hard to always have a high self esteem at all times, but it can be improved Good luck!!!!! I hope I didn't make this toooo long......

You're really lucky in that you have finely shaped features. A bit of makeup would totally enhance your face. I would suggest experimenting with maybe some light pink lipstick (I can't tell what undertones you have in your skin from your picture, but light pink is usually a good place to start). Or you could try a lipstain (which is what I swear by). They stay on for a long time and they aren't sticky.


"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it.
I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote,
“Dear Jim: I loved your card.”
Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.”
That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything.
He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

You have gorgeous eyes and lips and great cheekbones, so those are what you should play up. I used to wear a ton of makeup, but I've found that I look the best with simple make up and I spend the heavy-duty stuff for nights out.

My general rule is that mascara and lip gloss or chap stick are a must, for myself. I use some stuff by Studio Gear that I really like for every day, and Napoleon Perdis has some great stuff if you want a dramatic look. Studio Gear also has some really nice lip glosses, or you can just use some normal chap stick. I also almost always fill in my eyebrows because they get sparse near the outside, but I don't know if you have that problem or not. I usually use Brow Zings by BeneFit. I also think that this blush would look really nice on you. It's pretty pigmented, so use it sparingly. These are all really simple to use products to use. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.


"Love me for me, accept the fact I'm true, live like I want, fufill my dreams,
Dream of me, run out free, capture your words and never let them go."

I'll see you on the other side.

You're super pretty, first off. It's totally not a bad thing to not know how to "glam" yourself up.
It took me years to figure out how to properly apply make-up. Recently I've become more girly and find myself wanting to take care of my looks far more often.
I only really use alight foundation, eyeliner, mascara, and a type of lip balm. I really lip balms by Nivea. Their lip gloss A kiss of Shine is my favorite, and lip balm A kiss of Smoothness, These go everywhere with me.

I use a gel eyeliner that I apply with a very small brush, and use Great Lash mascara. Foundation is really something you have to experiment with on your own because your skin type is unique.
If you go to a near by Target, they have a huge make-up section with a wide variety of different brands of make-up you can choose from.

Just remember, simplicity is key with natural make-up. You just want to enhance your features, not hide them

There is a girl on YouTube who is extremely popular for her make-up tutorials. There are others you can find as well, but her video's are pretty helpful, I've found.

Hope that helps!

Re: makeup advice - March 23rd 2011, 06:22 PM

your really pretty and your skin is flawlus. i dont wear loads of makeup but i have a friend whos really good at it. Its all about experimenting really and finding a style that you like that suits you. too start i would keep it simple, you have a amazing features and skin. So you could use a light coloured foundation (i'd recomend a matte because its light on the skin and moist) some pale peachy blusher and if youd like some slightly darker blusher along the edges of your cheekbones will really highlight them and make them pop (in a good way lol) . you haev great eyes, really big and cute. to enhance that some mascara ( i use any brand i like nyc mascara because its cheap x) the mascara will open your eyes even more and a brown eye liner will make them stand out. for night you could swop to black and use grey eye shadows for a smoky, sexy look that will look great. I would recomend lipgloss for day but if you want to wear day lipstcik then a early peachy colour would look good. for night id recommend either a bold red or some browns. Remember natural works best, good luck and hope i helped xxx <3 pixie xxx <3

You have beautiful eyes A little bit of brown eyeliner on top would really make them pop.

Experiment and see what kinds you like! I use lip shimmer for a natural looking shine, because I hate gloss- but hey, tons of girls love lip gloss. I also recommend buying a little set of essentials - concealer, foundation, neutral colors for everyday wear. Some days I don't wear makeup, but I usually just do some neutral eye shadow and mascara.

Good luck! :3

I'd say some shimmery pink eye shadow, some masscara, some light brown eye liner. Maybe some white shimmery eyeshadow to shade up under your eyebrows for a more dramatic effect. Just some cute pink blush and some shinny lip gloss and you'd be good to go!

Also try just youtubing some make up tutorials to help give you an idea =D
