1. ok so as for the maye-up....definitly keep it natural. Use a brown eye-liner on the top lid. dont put any on the bottom. Use a light pink blush and lightly sweep it across your checkbone. don't use lipstick maybe just a light gloss. Don't die your hair your naturaly hair sounds great. If you want it alittle lighter just use some sun-in when you go outside. GOOD LUCK!
2. get a hair product from your local sallys its called GOLD it makes your hair lighter also for makeup use mascara only on the top lash and eyeshadow use gold on the whole lid then green on the bottom part of the lid and then use a very lite bit of eye liner only on the bottom and youl look great
3. i like purple on brown eyes... or try a shimmery gold color to bring out the gold in your eyes!
4. I think keeping your make up natural is the best idea...about your hair color since you do not want to put any chemicals in it, i know of this shampoo that they usually sell at hispanic stores its called "shampoo de manzanilla" its kind of yellowish and it makes your hair color get lighter and once you dont wnat it to get any lighter, you can just use any other shampoo...
5. eyeliner it works on evrybdy xx
6. wow, you sound beautiful! but, i too get bored of natural me. It really depends on what you want your main focus to be: Your eyes, your lips, or your cheeks. To Play Up Your Eyes: Eyeliner. For and everyday look, you should stay away from liquid liner, as it tends to smudge and look messier in broad daylight than it does at night. Go for pencil and/or kohl (soft pencil) liner, which is more natural looking and easier to manipulate. Like with liquid liner, thick, crayon or marker-esque liners are best left for nighttime events. Go for a thin, sleek pencil that is easy to hold in your hand and draws a straight line ONLY (liners that boast the ability to create thin and thick lines end up looking messy). The fairer your skin is, the more natural and understated you should go. If black looks so-so on you, try grey. With darker skin tones, feel free to go for darker, more saturated hues. Black eyeliner will look fine on your skin. Typically, your should try and stay in a range of forest-y colors- ya know, brown, olive, black, etc.- to avoid looking overly done. Mascara. Mascara is easy to use, once you get the hang of it. If you've been wearing mascara for a bit already, go for a waterproof formula so that you don't have to worry about smudges during the day. Go for black-brown. Eyepencil Sharpener. Look for one that is good quality and has two holes- one for your everyday pencil, and the other for you thick nighttime liner. If possible, test it on your new liner before purchase to ensure quality, as a sharp pencil is the key to fresh, natural, radiant eyes. Eyeshadow. Some people tend to forgoe eyeshadow, since it tends to smudge or fade quickly. But it can really amke a difference. Eyeliners today come in several pre-packaged shades specially made for each eye color, and are easy to use. Cotton Balls and Q-tips. Make sure they're 100 % cotton and BUY THEM IN BULK! You'll definitely need them, so grab a few 100 count packs. Hey, they're cheap! Eye Make-Up Remover. An utter must, especially where waterproof make-up is concerned. Look for one that is oil-free, will not leave a residue, and removes even waterproof make-up. Test a bit on the inside of your wrist, following basic application instructions, and leave for 48 hours before using on your eyes. Throw it out if you feel or see and redness, inflamation, tingling, itching, bumps, or rashes. Well, your lips probably dont need any "playing up" so just a nude peach gloss would probably do. An cheeks, just smile and dab the blush on the apples of your cheeks. Oh and to make your hair go lighter.. there is this stuff you can put in your hair from walmart, its in a spay bottle and it is near the hair dye. but, its not hair dye. You just spray it on your hair go out in the sun for about 10-20 minutes, and VOILA! your hair is lighter. Another way to lighten your hair is lemon juice. just put it on your damp hair, it is a natural hair lightener. Hope this helps; Chantelle, xo
7. I know how u feel i was also in the same situation a month ago until i got some help. Lets start with hair. The only way to get a lighter color is to dye it. There is a dye can textures and tones and it has no ammonia or peroxide, this is the best dye on the market right now. If u stillnot comfortable than get a good rinse and let it process for 25 mins so it can acheive better results. for makeup the only colors u can get r earth tones if u want a everyday look. Go to MAC in the mall so they can test different shades for ur liking. Good luck girl.
8. Thick big lips and brown eyes...girl, you've got the goods! The best makeup combinations are dark eyes/nude lips or daring lips/naked eyes. With brown eyes, the colors pink and purple really open them up. Try using a dark brown eyes shadow for your upper eyelids, then use a pink or purple shadow for your brow bone. Make sure you blend the pink or purple well when it meets the brown. Use a dark brown (not black! Brown is best to accentuate your eyes) pencil eyeliner and trace along your lash lines or just below them. Then, choose a nude, light pink, or coffee colored lip gloss. Coffee looks best with brown eyes. Or, you could do your eyes in a light brown/nude/pink color with a light brown pencil eyeliner. Then use a darker brown/darker coffee color on your lips. Never go for crazy pink with dark hair. Crazy red could spice it up, as long as you apply it right. Don't apply it with any lip liner, or you'll start to look hooker-like. Good luck! As far as the hair, I have dark brown too. The best way to keep it light is to avoid grease. If your roots are a little greasy, take some baby powder to them. This lightens your hair up a bit. Less hair spray and less gel keeps the hair less dark. :)
