My eyes are really dark and i want to make them look lighter, how should i do my eye makeup?

i have almost black eyes on some some days. it makes my face look so boring how do i make them look lighter?My eyes are really dark and i want to make them look lighter, how should i do my eye makeup?
first of all, choose green or mustard color shirts, it will bring out the different color flecks in your eyes you dont normally see. also, try lining the inside of your eyes with a white eyeliner, it will brighten up your eyes.....My eyes are really dark and i want to make them look lighter, how should i do my eye makeup?
If its under the eyes that is dark get a Green cover stick you can get them from Boots chemist or Body shop, this counteracts the red/brown that is under the eyes and makes them look much fresher, I use it alot .and you cant tell its green once its on.


Green eyeshadow makes brown eyes look browner, so if you dont like brown eyes avoid this.


Coloured contacts ?


Or use a thin line of eyeliner on the upper lid with a creamy shadow to open up the eye area, apply lots of mascara on the top lashes and a little on the bottom to lift the eyes,


Smile .....this makes all the difference as it lights up your eyes naturally.
well experiment with clothes, some clothe colors will make your eyes a different color, and use a while liner to make it lighter (on bottom lash line) and use a light and springy green (a mix between green and yellow) on top. thats for a day look. for a night look keep your eyes dark (for mystery) and use color to make them pop. or use light colors like yellows, greens, purples and sometimes just a pop of color will add some OOMPH to the day like a teal





hope this works out :)
You some make up 2 make it look lighter or try you using eyeshadow to make you eyes come out instead of looking dark
DON'T use black eye liner use either white or neutral eyeliner.

    I used to have dark brown eyes and now i have green eyes too. My skin is light tan right now too. I tan pretty easily too. My hair is light brown right now and it changes too. Brown makes my eyes really pop. but since you have dark green eyes I recomend purple. That will really make them pop.
    Brown eye shadow, CVS has this color scheme that has tan, brown, and a light gold called ';bring out the green'; and ';play up the green'; has the colors, light green, dark green, and purple!
    PURPLE...

    I'm looking for eye makeup glitter..any suggestions?

    I'm going to Vegas this weekend and I want something that will stay on for a long time.I'm looking for eye makeup glitter..any suggestions?

    works amazing.

    URBAN DECAY.





    :)I'm looking for eye makeup glitter..any suggestions?
    I've seen alot of glittery makeup, go check out the makeup stores in the mall.They even have blue pink and red glittery eyeliners
    MAC has the longest lasting, shimmery or glittery eyeshadow and they may actually have a liner with glitter. Also they may have an eye primer for shadows that help the make-up stay on. I use one from MAry Kay but I believe clinque has a good one too.
    M.A.C works great! Apply it with a little water and it will stay forever!
    The body shop has some great makeup. I worked there for a while and it seemed to stay on for quite a long time!
    Rimmel Metallic Eye Gloss in Kensington. :) pretty and silver and stays on for a while.
    I use an eye glitter make-up called Aqua-proof. It comes in lots of colors and looks fantastic! I'm sure you'll love it! You can get it pretty much anywhere, but it's not just some cheap generic stuff, it's really good!

    Guys, do you like the ';smoky eye'; makeup look on women?

    I read somewhere recently that men love the ';smoky'; eye makeup (like what Avril Lavigne and Kiera Knightly wear)...





    I was just wondering if it's true?





    Because every guy I've asked says he prefers little to no eye-makeup on women.





    Thoughts?Guys, do you like the ';smoky eye'; makeup look on women?
    I wear really dark eye make up usually, and guys tell me it looks good. I guess it depends on what the girl looks like, %26amp; what the guy likes.

    Does anyone know how i can make my eye makeup look like this....?

    I HAVE A CARMEL COMPLECTION BUT VERY PALE LOOKING IN THE FACIAL AREA... ALSO IM GOING TO BE GOING FROM BLONDISH TO THE COLOR SHE HAS. I LOVE HER LOOK IT SEEMS MYSTERIOUS SO CAN ANYONE HELP IVE TRIED BEFORE AND TURN OUT LOOKING LIKE A SCARE CROW ...THNX FOR ANY TIPS!!!Does anyone know how i can make my eye makeup look like this....?
    First make sure to apply a good layer of foundation and powder to make sure that the lower eyelid makeup does not start to spread to give you that ';under eye';circle of black. make sure to use a little concealer right below the eye as well.





    I listed my website below. Im going to show you some products, you can go to the page click on shop then ';search'; the products I am talking about. this will show you the colors. you can choose to shop online through avon and have it mailed directly to you, or take the advice and purchase your own products (the ones Im going to show you are all products that I do andhave used)





    For the liner use black. For this type of makeup though, believe it or not, the line is very thin with the liner. (glimmersticks is my favorite all day lasting liner look at ';blackest black'; 400-242)


    Take a base coat of shadow (like rich creme 509-157 or nude 332-731) and apply it over the crease of your eye (higher on the outside to lighten and smooth the color)


    Then use an eyeshadow brush (like all over brush 399-228)


    And apply a black shadow on the top of the lid , unlike most of the looks right now instead of going higher on the outside, she has gone higher on the inside. The tip to making this look good, is dont pass the line of your outer nostril (put a pen (or straight long object) and hold it vertically againt your nostril up towards your eyebrow, do not go passed the pen when apply makeup) Also, dont go all the way into your brow, go right up to it, but leave a little of the skin color. Make sure the color is concentrated more towards the eye, and have it lighter the higher on the eye you go


    Then for the lower liduse a thin liner brush (like Marks 412-257 eyeliner brush) and do a very smooth line of the same color shadow you choose to use on your upper lid.


    For these colors, if you want to use 2 shades to blend in and create a better ';blended color'; look, use a color like night sky 509-123 closer to the eye, and blend in with a brush on the higher colors something like steel 473-443 or marks retro peacock 058-118





    After you are done, make sure to take a tissue and wipe off any makeup that has spread, touch up your foundation or powder around the eye, and use a really good mascara to pop the lashes.





    If you have questions let me know~!!!Does anyone know how i can make my eye makeup look like this....?
    if you print that picture and take it to a make up shop..or in macy's and places like that in the make up section, someone there can help you out and actually be there with you to show you how to do it rather then reading on how to do it yourself...good luck!
    make up company e.l.f (eyes lips face) have a good ';get this look'; section which tells you how to get looks like this to match your own colouring...

    What makeup looks best with really blue eyes?

    I love eyeliner but its the only thing i use, also what kind of eyeliner goes on really black and doesnt wash off?What makeup looks best with really blue eyes?
    As far as the eyeliner part, I use estee lauder liquid eyeliner, it's waterproof so it never budges throughout the day. It's a little bit pricey but worth it. If you want to buy something for the drugstore, just buy something that is liquid and waterproof.


    As for other makeup for blue eyes, it kind of depends on whether you are fair or tanned. If your are tan, white eyeshadow really brings out blue eyes. If you're fair, it will just wash you out. I have blue eyes and am pretty fair and I use eyeshadow from clinique. It's the high impact eyeshadow quad in spicy. It has a dark pink color, a gold color and also a couple darker shades.


    If you go to like the mac cosmetics website, you can fill out this form where you tell them about yourself and then they email you back with recommendations. You're under no obligation to buy but it will let you know what colors will suit you best and then you can go anywhere and get those colors!!What makeup looks best with really blue eyes?
    you MUST listen to me. Go to a MAC counter and buy these eyeshadows: Mulch and Bronze. You will look like a queen with these two shadows. Any colors with brown or bronze tones in them are going to compliment and spice up the blue of your eyes. Seriously.. you must have those two shadows. They will be staples in your makeup bag. As for eyeliner, MAC's fluidline in blacktrack is an amazing eyeliner and goes on so smooth. You will need a brush to apply. For liner that lasts for days if you never washed it off, buy the black shade of MAC's liquidlast liner. I wore this to my grandfather's funeral and it did not BUDGE through all the crying. Any more questions, feel free to e-mail me :)
    Any kind of liquid eye liner would be good for a dark black and would stay on if it were water proof... for blue eyes wear neutral colors, such as browns, cremes, greys, etc. I find that it is hard to make bright colors look un-tacky, especially on blue eyes... I just wear black mascara, and have like 20 different browns I wear.
    Depending on what colour hair you have aswell.


    I personally prefer a lighter black for blonde hair, and a dark brown for brunettes.


    Any MAC product generally work the best :)
    black, or white only in the inner


    corners will make your eyes look


    bigger and stand out





    get an eyeliner that is definetly black


    and not called charcoal or dark, and


    called waterproof or 24 / 7.





    like urban decay
    blacks, violet, steel gray, silver, dark shimmery browns, just play with colors and find what you like!





    hope i helped =]]
    I like MAC's makeup line, but with your coloring, there is nothing nicer than plum(y) colors. They are going to make your eyes stand out very intensly rather than black which may look tood harsh.
    I use MAC makeup's waterproof eyeliner pencil in black, it works wonders!!
    get water proff black eye liner, they sell it anywhere. also try some black mascara. it will bring out your eyes more.
    black looks amazing on blue eyes! I kinda wear blue contacts (shhhhh...) so i tend to use black eyeliner too!
    rdark dark black and water proof!

  • How come the makeup I wear on my eyes looks lighter close up?

    I wear brown liner and when applying, it's a nice, light color, but when I stand back, the liner looks brown/ black? It's not any heavier, just darker. And is there a way to make the liner look just as light as it is close-up?





    Thanks! :)How come the makeup I wear on my eyes looks lighter close up?
    If you're doing it in front of a mirror, sometimes the light reflects especially bright closer up. I've noticed that when I step back from a framed mirror, the light's reflection is sometimes shadowed by the frame, which makes my reflection look darker. Plus, when you're looking close up, you may be able to see more of the light-reflecting flecks in the liner. Perhaps try switching to a lighter shade.How come the makeup I wear on my eyes looks lighter close up?
    It depends on the light. Have you notice your hair looks lighter in the sun light than when you are inside your house. It could also depend if you wore an eye shadow under the eye liner. Try to use an eye prime, go to ELF to find one.

    if you put on alot, then it comes off like that. next time, make a line with it on your hand before buying it.


    how bout, after putting it on, take a Q-tip with some lotion on it, and rub it lightly over it, that will make it appear softer. but not too much cause it will wipe away all your makeup goodluck =)
    Try brown eyeliners from other brands, that look lighter in the tube.


    OR


    Pat some foundation powder on your eyeliner after it has dried.
    It's because you're close up so you can actually see the colors.
    blend, use darker colors.





    but generally, thats how all make up is


    you have to smudge liner in to the eye lashes.
    maybe if you use a lighter shade of brown, it'll look normal from far. :)
    do some blending
