i have fair skin, green eyes, red hair, blonde eyelashes, and ya.. any cool ideas. please go into detail on how-tosI want a natural but super stunning new eye makeup look.?
Since your skin is fair and your eyelashes are blonde (I'm assuming your eyebrows are blonde too?), it's better if you don't use any heavy black eyeliner or mascara, as this can make you look unnatural, or like you have too much make-up on.
However, stunning eye make-up does require enough eyeliner to really define your eyes. Instead of using black, try grey or brown. This way your eyes will still be defined, but not in an unnatural or scary way. Applying eyeliner can be tricky, but it isn't all that hard. Just pull the outer corner of your eye down, and start from the outer corner and move inwards. Do the lower lid first. Try to keep as close to your lashline as possible - panda eyes = not pretty!! A fine eyeliner will always work better so it isn't a bad idea to use a retractable eyeliner, or regularly sharpen your pencil so that the tip is fine.
You don't have to do your upper lid if you don't want to, but if you do, you can line it one third, two thirds or all the way across. Don't line it halfway because this will visually cut your eye in half.
As for eyeshadow... depending on what you like, here are some suggestions for green eyes: if you want a softer color, go for browns, soft oranges or purples, or khaki green. Brighter colors such as gold, lime green, light green or bright purple shades will also work. Violet/purple will make your eyes look vividly green. Remember: stunning doesn't necessarily bright, but bright colors will help you stand out from the crowd.
Throw away that crappy little thing that comes with the eyeshadow and invest in a proper brush. The brush will help you shadow more evenly and accurately than that stupid little pad-thing. Try not to shadow any higher than the crease of your eye - if you reach your eyebrow, you've gone much too far! Start out small and add a little more color as you go, because if you put too much, you'll probably just have to clean it all off and start again, which can be a real hindrance. Blend the shadow in with your eyeliner, and if you want to wear two colors (and don't wear any more than that or you might end up looking like a drag queen), wear the darker one closer to your eyelid. Then blend the second color with the first, remembering to start small.
And lastly, mascara. Similarly to eyeliner, I suggest you use either a brown or a grey...you can find shades such as ';brown-black'; (I think Maybelline makes some in that shade) which are probably more suited to your natural color, while still making your eyes stand out. If you want long, defined lashes, start with a lash primer. Many mascaras come with a 2-in-1 thing, with a primer on one end and the mascara on the other. Rimmel's Volume Extend Mascara works a treat. Brush the primer through your lashes before the color. You can put however many coats of mascara you want on, just don't let it dry between coats because the brush won't go through so smoothly over dry mascara (or primer).
Hope that helps (and is not too confusing)!
