I have lite to medium long blonde hair bluish gray eyes and a round face, I'm 19 yrs old and never wore make up in my life, Please help if you canMake up tips for blonde haired, blue eyed girl who knows NOTHING about make up?
For your skin type and eye/hair color, you can either go light and natural or dark and dramatic. Both will work fine. Since I don't know your clothing style (it DOES makes a difference), I will describe both.
Natural
1. Mascara - dark brown, but no black. Place the brush in the center of your lash line and blink down on the applicator three times. Place the brush on the outside corner of your eye and blink down three times. Any more than this and your lashes will look too clumpy or too unnatural.
2. Liner - peach and medium brown. Use a pencil liner, as they are easier for beginners and look softer. Apply the brown just above the upper lash line on the outside half of your eye. Apply the peach eyeliner to the inside corner of your eye. This will brighten up your face, drawing attention to the center.
3. Blush - go with a very light powder blush, or none at all. A soft rosy color is good. Take a brush and swirl it gently in the blush. Tap it against the side to remove excess - you don't want to look like a clown. Smile so you give yourself ';chipmunk cheeks';, and swirl the brush onto the fattest part. Be very careful with blush, though, as newcomers can often overdo it.
4. Foundation/Powder - since I don't know your skin type, I'd say to play it safe and go with just a powder the color of your skin tone. Dust it evenly over your face and onto your neck with a brush. Even better, go with a simple tinted moisturizer if you have relatively blemish-free skin.
5. Lips - you should probably stick to a clear or light lip gloss, preferably very sheer. It polishes off a look and makes your lips ';kissable';, but is very easy, especially for newbies. Stay away from sticky stuff! Goopy lips are NOT attractive.
6. Shadow - go simple here. Pick a tannish color for your lid, and apply a lighter color above the crease.
These should suit you fine for now, and work well with casual and business outfits.
Dramatic
Blush and foundation/powder remain the same.
1. Mascara - use black, and apply it thicker.
2. Liner - Use black liquid, and line the top lid from the center to the outside, thicker towards the end.
3. Shadow - use turquoises, purples, emeralds, and sapphires. For application, check here:http://beauty.about.com/od/allaboutyoure鈥?/a>
4. Lips - use lipstick. If your eyes are darker, use lighter lipstick. If your eyes are lighter, go with a cool, dramatic red.
This look is for when you want to be bold and dramatic, such as at a dance.
Hope that helps! :)Make up tips for blonde haired, blue eyed girl who knows NOTHING about make up?
i know exactly what you mean!
when i first started wearing it,
i didn't know what to do!
alright, here's some good colors for you:
light blue
purple/magenta
lime green
teal-ish colors
maybe orange...?
to start off, you're gonna need foundation
[i would suggest that matte mousse stuff,
it works really well...find your skin color
and only put a little on your whole face]
bronzer/blush,
[smile when you apply it--
it helps you find the apples of your cheeks.]
eyeliner in blues, browns, greens and blacks,
[and colored if you're really wild]
[line the lower lid, and upper if you want
but don't go all the way to the inside of the eye..
you don't want to get ';eye boogers'; haah]
eyeshadow
[get a package with several colors for some variety.
use the little brush to swipe over your lid...
not too much!]
and mascara
[run over your eyelashes, top and bottom if you want,
and coat them again if you didn't get enough].
and you can't forget lip gloss.
victoria's secret is AWESOME
but loreal will work too.
you can find all of this for pretty cheap at walgreens or cvs.
good luck!
it would depend on the occasion, your best bet it to go the a major store like Macy's or J C Penny's as they have trained personal in their make-up department that can advise you as to what, when and how to apply.
wow. i would not like to be you right now. id be scared.
the ABSOLUTE best thing you can do is go and see a beauty consultant. theyll pick some good things for you to wear and show you how to apply them and then you can just do what they said until you feel more comfortable trying things on your own later.
what you should avoid is going out and buying a stack of stuff you dont even know looks good on you and putting it on badly. start off with simple, basic stuff in natural shades and use it minimally. work up to brighter colours and more dramatic effects as you gain confidence.
If you are able, ';Estee Lauder'; has make-overs.
Because you are 19 it is a good time to learn about taking care of your skin. Make-up should enhance your good features.
This could be a fun day for you and your mom. Speak to her about this if you have a good relationship with her. Sometimes sales women can sell you things you do not need.
The important thing is to wash your face and neck in the morning and at night with an antiseptic soap and believe it or not, yes your ears and behind your ears, moisturize you face and neck with a good moisturizer and if your skin is sensitive to the sun, make sure it has a sun blocker in the moisturizer. Never smoke cigarettes! This will ruin your face as it inhibits oxygen and creates wrinkles, no joke. So will drinking alcoholic beverages. Those two things age women like nothing you have ever seen. Stay away from those to take care of your health.
I might suggest, matching mascara to your eyelashes colour, a little blush, and lipstick. Lipstick is actually to protect lips from too much sun, wind, or cold.
If I had a daughter, we would run right over to the Estee Lauder counter for a make over and then off to lunch.
I wish you well.
you should try black mascara,a light pink blush,shiny pink but not to pink lipcolor,and a light eyeshadow that matches good with your skin tone.
hope i helped!Good Luck!:)
Almay ';Bring Out The Blue'; eye makeup... I am a huge fan:

Don't use black eyeliner. It takes away from your pretty blue peepers. Use brown. Sometimes I use dark if I want a dramatic effect. Most often I will use a light, golden brown.
Usually I will wear my eyeliner on the top inner rim and the bottom inner rim of the eye, but not accross the lid. I think it is a more natural look that way. When putting it on top of the lid, I never go too thick.
For shadows, you want gold tones. Yellow is opposite of blue on the color wheel and so it will make blue stand out the most when the two colors are paired.
You can even try enhancing your blue eyes with a bit of blue eyeshadow or some blue mascara. Just be careful because blue eyeshadow can get real trashy real fast.
Since you are just starting out, try getting Almay's Smart Shade foundation. It only comes in three shades: light, medium, and dark. It goes on white and then blends into the color of your skin! It is so amazing, I looove it. It only about ten dollars too, which is relatively cheap for a quality product. If you decide to go for a different foundation, look for an oil-free foundation that will prevent breakouts. Before buying, rub a little on your hand to see if it matches up. If your foundation is too dark you will look like an orange sponge cake. :]
If you have less-than-perfect skin then try a Covergirl concealer underneath your foundation, and L'Oreal true match powder over the top. This will make for an overall flawless look. I usually buy my powder a shade lighter than my foundation, just because for some reason it makes my skin look great.
I really reccommend seeing a Mary Kay consultant or a beauty rep behind the counter of a decent makeup store (Try Sephora or Dillard's). I got started with makeup by having a visit with my mom's friend who was a Mary Kay consultant. She gave me a makeover and then handed me her big fat book of samples and an book of tips and let me go crazy for a week. After that I realized that I knew what I wanted to do with my life. haha.
And lastly... hair is not really my forte, but try this website to find some hairstyles that look good with round faces:
