More begging (for advice)

I know there are at least two of you on my flist who are very competant with make-up. I'm going for more of an evening thing. Have I frakked this up?

I don't know much about make-up... but I think it looks hot. You look good in lipstick- you have pretty lips for it. I always look like a clown.

You have very deep set eyes like me. I've learned to keep the darker color out towards the outer edges of my eyes. I start about half way and go out and up a bit. I find also that if I layer a lighter second color in the crease and pull that all the way out it helps too and then to top it off I usually use something very light, like white to highlight the brow area and to keep my eyes from sinking too far into the back of my head. For the lid part on the inside of my eyes, near my nose I use a lighter color. I tend to gravitate towards frosts too, but that's because I like glittery things. I don't use all frosts for my eyes, but do use both frost and mattes. Overall your makeup looks very nice. And if you are going to someplace rather dark or a place that has lots of theatre type lighting you could even go darker and more dramatic. It might appear harsh to you in regular light but you are putting makeup on for a darkened room which means you need to accent even more.
As for your lipstick. Go wine or deep red because with the color of your skin and those great kissable lips I think that would be a great evening color for you.

I'm personally really not digging that lipstick. I think something either darker and more berry-like OR something a bit pinker would be better.

Personal rule of thumb-when doing going out makeup, either emphasize the lips OR the eyes, not both.

But you're still adorable ^.^

I think with make-up, you should either emphasize the eyes or emphasize the lips.

So if you go with the smoky Kohl eyeliner, go with a pale, neutral-color lipgloss.

If you want to keep the sexy red lipstick, skip the eyeliner and just use mascara on the lashes.

Hope that helps!
