thanks your suggestions are greatly appreciated : )What colours makeup would you put on a person with black hair, pale skin, and green eyes?
First of all, I don't think you looked pissed- you're very pretty!





If you're going to wear foundation, and you've got bad skin,you should invest in a good one. It will last for a long time, and the cheap stuff is only going to make you break out. I'd recommend a mineral foundation, preferably an all-natural one (try Origins or Bare Minerals--if you go to either of these counters in a department store they will help you pick the right shade!) That being said, I don't wear foundation every day, only when my skin is particularly bad. I just use a little concealer stick most of the time. My favorite concealer is Origins Quick, Hide! You can't even feel it. And it doesn't sweat off--good for summer.





I also suggest one of these concealers if you want a cheaper one that still works well...

For a natural look, I'd go with a gel blush. My personal favorite is from Revlon and it's called Pinch Me. Just squeeze out a tiny bit--smaller than a pea--and put it on the apple of your cheek (smile--the roundest part of your cheek is the apple!). Rub it outward in circular motions. Don't panic, it does look very bright when it first comes out of the bottle, but you can barely see it after you rub it in. This gives a really natural glow; it looks like it's coming from under your skin.





It looks like you're wearing black eyeliner in that picture, and it llooks fine, but if you want to go for a more natural look, brown eyeliner works well. If you get a deep brown it shows up as well as black, it just looks way less harsh. If you鈥檙e going to wear brown eyeliner, I suggest charcoal/gray or brown/black mix mascara so it doesn鈥檛 look funny. I like Rimmel or Physician's Formula, the kind that click up instead of a pencil.





Next...eyeshadow! My favorite part. Just basic, neutral tones will do. I'm a bit more adventurous with eyeshadow--I love funky colors--but for natural, a simple two-tone brown set will do great. Also, if you do use green eyeshadow, make sure that it doesn't match your eyes exactly, or it takes the attention away from you eyes. Try Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Duos in Browntones. Very natural but just emphasize a little, and they will stay put while you're in school all day. The darker shade goes on your eyelid, fading out toward the crease. Then take the lighter shade and put it on from just below your crease (overlapping with the dark shade) up to your browbone. Fade it out before you get to your eyebrow. It's so light, it's easy.

Put on mascara after eyeshadow. I use Clinique or Revlon, but a TON of people swear by Maybelline Great Lash. I'd go with a waterproof dark brown--black doesn't look as natural, although it works too. :) A tip--use the pointy end of the wand to do the lashes at the outside corners of your eyes individually. It'll make them look extra-long.





This is optional, but a translucent powder swept over your face and t-zone always ties my face together and gives it a nice glow. :) (In case you don鈥檛 know, the t-zone is your forehead, nose and chin





Finally, lips. I'd stay away from lipliner, as it almost never looks natural. For you, a light gloss is probably best during the day. My favorite is Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in East End Snob--it's pretty translucent, just adds a nice, light pink shine, and it isn't too sticky. And it smells great! I've also heard good things about Covergirl Wetslicks--if you go to their website they'll pick out shades based on your coloring.





Play around with it, you don鈥檛 necessarily need to use the same makeup every day, change it up.





Have fun! I'm sure you'll look great ;)





PS-Makeup is very cheap in Wal-Mart, Walgreens or Target.What colours makeup would you put on a person with black hair, pale skin, and green eyes?
When i think of green eyes, i think of lilac, and violet eye shadows or liner. I've read many times that purple tones enhance green eyes nicely. Golden shadows would probably be nice as well. top it off with some black eyeliner and liquid liner on top also mascara.





after you use concerler or what even you use. add some bronzer lightly to your cheeks because there already pretty rosy so it will make them pop.





lipstick may be to much. try taking some liquid foundation and rub it on you lips to make them appear lighter then add lip gloss clear coat.





go luck.
if you go to wal-greens, walmart or any place that sells maybelline, they actually have a compact pallette of colors created for specific eyecolors.





Taupe would look nice or a shimmery brown as an eyeshadow. Black/Grey eyeliner would look nice too. I nice gloss lipstick- in a nude pink or tan.
