Makeup tips?
I found some info hope it helps


Brown-eyed girls make violets and blues even more electric


What You Need





Eye primer (you don%26#039;t need it, but it%26#039;s great for keeping shadow in place)


2 Shadows: One light, one darker


Eyeliner


Makeup brushes


Mascara








The key to the perfect smoky eye is proper blending. You want to make sure colors are blended together flawlessly. Also, it%26#039;s important to pair light base colors with rich dark colors. Nice mixes include: Soft gold base with deep purple on top, champagne base with bright blue and peach base with green hue.





Prep the lid. The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called %26quot;primer%26quot;). I prefer to dab at bit of MAC%26#039;s %26#039;paint%26#039; on lids before shadow application. Or try Fresh Freshface Perfecting Eye Primer.








Apply eyeliner. If you%26#039;re going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.








Blend in color on bottom lashes For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you%26#039;ll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to %26quot;smudge it.%26quot; You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.








Apply light base color Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. I love Stila%26#039;s whipped eye shadows $20. The moist %26quot;mousse%26quot; consistency seems to stay on forever. My favorite colors are taupe and pearl.





Blend in darker color, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it%26#039;s time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease.





Doublecheck your work Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.





Tips:





Remember to keep lips nude. When applying strong makeup (like smoky eyes or red lips) put the focus on either eyes or lips, never both. (Think Angelina Jolie: She either plays up her huge eyes or her huge lips, never both. If she did, she%26#039;d look like a clown).





For a bit of fun, try a blue or purple mascara. It will make blue eyes %26quot;pop.%26quot;





Liner doesn%26#039;t have to come in pencil form. Makeup experts know eyeshadows make some of the best eyeliners. To do this take an eyeliner brush (available at Sephora, MAC or any dept store), wet it, then dab wet brush into the dark shadow. This allows for a deep, precise line. You can also use the dark shadows without wetting brush first. Either way, eyeliner is necessary for smoky eye.





This season go jewel-toned. Like a deep purple, a gold-brown or any of the many vibrant colors in this year.





I have brown eyes too. I love them
Makeup tips?
I would suggest using a highlighter shimmer powder in the inner corners of your eyes and also in between the lower %26amp; upper eyelashes at the outer corners to open them up a bit %26amp; look a little larger. Also, longer lashes can make your eyes look a bit bigger, so maybe try some individual fake lashes at the outer edges to add some volume %26amp; length. A friend used to rim her eyes with a white eyeliner for a wide eyed look - don%26#039;t know if I%26#039;d really go so far as to recommend it, but you could try!
Reply:I have similar coloring and deep-set eyes. I look good in brown, copper, navy or khaki green eyeliner. People try to get me to wear purple, but it makes me look like I got punched in the face, so I ignore any saleslady who tries to push that on me. I wear eyeliner on the top or the bottom lids, but never on both at the same time. Black mascara makes your eyes stand out. Peach, white, gold, pink or lavender eyeshadow. Dark shadows will make your eyes look smaller, so don%26#039;t bother with them.





For blush I can wear just about any color I want, and so can you. Same thing with lips. I don%26#039;t wear drugstore blushes, but here are some of my favorites. Lancome Rose Fresche, Shimmer Pink Pool, Bronze Glow (a bronzer) and Shimmer Coral Sunset. Origins Blush in Autumn Fields.





The best red lipstick in the world for olive skin is Lancome Color Design Ooh La La.





If you want a tutorial, go to the makeup counter at Macy%26#039;s or Nordstrom and ask for one. You will have a lot of fun, and you%26#039;ll learn a lot too. They are free, but you%26#039;ll probably end up buying a couple products anyway.

Reply:Ive heard that people with small eyes look better with a lighter colored eyeliner..its suppose to bring out your eyes. Also heating the eyeliner pencil with a cigarette lighter before use makes it go on smoother.
Reply:Dont use liquid eyeliner if you have small eyes because it%26#039;ll make them look tiny. Definitley go for paler make up , it%26#039;ll make you look gorg
