I'm basically clueless when it comes to makeup, so I'm wondering how I should do my makeup for everyday..
Green eyes. Red hair. Fair skin.
Any ideas?I have really green eyes, bright red hair and fair skin. Makeup tips please?
First, find a foundation that matches your skin tone. Find three foundations that look like they match your skin spot on. Make a thin stripe of all three colors right next to each other on your jawbone. The one that looks as if it has disappeared into your skin is your perfect (closest) match.
Green-eyed girls are lucky because they can wear any shade of eyeshadow they please. Try to find at least a three-pan, but I prefer five-pans because you have a much livelier variety of looks you can accomplish.
Take the lightest shade and sweep it over your entire eyelid, up to the brow line, and out to the outer corner of your eye. Take your middle shade and, starting from the middle of your eye, sweep this shade slightly up over the crease and out to the outer corner of your eye.
Next take your darkest shade. Starting at the halfway point between the middle shade and the outer corner of your eye, apply your darkest shadow here, again slightly over the crease of your eye. Tap off the excess shadow from your brush and blend the three colors together -- not up to your brow line, just at the crease, back and forth from corner to corner. You'll be amazed how awesome this looks.
Go with a brown mascara for daytime as black may be too harsh for your fair features to handle. Black is okay for nighttime when a bolder look is necessary.
The trick is to get people to notice your eyes, not your eye makeup. You can use a liner, if you so choose, that compliments your shadow.
Find a blush that matches your undertones -- if you have pink undertones, go with pinks; peach undertones, go with peaches, and if a gold undertone, go with neutrals. Apply your blush over your cheekbone starting from the temple downward. This will ensure that you don't get a big glob of color right in the middle of your face. You can smooth out the color with a tissue, again sweeping first up into your hairline, and then gently over your cheekbones to help pick up any excess.
Lipstick is like blush and foundation. Go with your natural undertones. Pinks, blue reds and wines for pink, neutrals and orange reds for gold, peaches for peaches. Go lighter during the day; darker, bolder colors at night.
Hope this helps!I have really green eyes, bright red hair and fair skin. Makeup tips please?
Your eyes and hair naturally complement each other, but if you want to make things pop...try a shimmery purple eye shadow with gold undertones...check out mac.
good eyeshadow colors for you are pale pink, light to medium pinkish-brown and medium purple shades. light pink and peachey shades are good for your lips.
My friend has a look thats similar to that...she has naturally red hair and fair and freckled skin, so she usually chooses earth tones or something thats not too bright, and she doesn't overdo it...mascara and eyeliner, a light colored lip gloss is good, and earth tone eye shadow too.
deep browns and light greens for shadow, blend well with a q-tip
black-brown mascara.
brown liner.
light pink blush.
clear lipgloss
that should be nice :]
You're probably eye catching even without makeup, with those assets!
Typically, especially with your coloring, less is more. I have similar skin, eye, and hair color. I go with eyeliner, mascara, a little blush, and lipstick. Foundation if its not melting hot outside.
A spring green eyeshadow and a red lipstick is great.
light color eyeshadow like light pink or green and mascara blush
if I was you I would stay away from make-up because with the green eyes and red hair then adding make up will make you look like a clown I'm not trying to hurt your feeling either

WOW THATS REALLY PRETTY!!!! PEOPLE WIT RED HAIR SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER DYE IT!!!! AND GREEN EYES R LIKE MY FAV. COLOR EYES!!!!!!!! anyways go with some bright colors like pink, purple, blue...pastels...but not where u look like a clown....that would be wayy cute girl!!!! hope that helps!!!
you sound exactly like me! fortunately being a redhead with green eyes means endless possibilities. i use bare minerals every day, and i will not ever go back to normal makeup again. With BM i can use almost any color.... and get away with it. I use to colors most of the time. My main eye shadow is summer. it is a light brown that is really shimmery. the blending color i use for the top part of my eye is sunshine. My eyeliner I alternate between black, dark brown, and purple. Alll of my eye pencils are Mary Kay. my mascara is cover girl. i know that it is kind of expensive but you really cant go wrong with any color in BM. Plus it helps if your mom worked for Estee Lauder for years! My mom knows a bajillion and one makeup tricks. The trick to the eyes is to cover it all the way to the eyebrow and the way to do that is to blend your colors. use something that is a little darker and looks good with your eye on just the lid. then take a lighter shimmer color and start where you left off wth the first color. take that all the way to the end of the eye then keep going above that line and above that line until you have reached the eyebrow. flip your eye brush over and blend over the entire eye with it. it will lighten the lid color as well as blend the two easily. I can pull off an emerald green or a grape or a bright blue with that trick. the eye liner. start on your bottom lid and follow from jsut past your tear duct to the end of the eye. make a little tick mark in the corner of the eye, it will help hide the crows feet a little better as well as make your eye look bigger. then do the same to your top lid. with mascara, an easy way to make your eye lashes look lots bigger is to put on a white primer coat of mascara, then immediately follow with your black or brown mascara. if you use black mascara use brown eye pencil because it makes the black look less harsh. hope this helps

for your fair skin and red hair a shimmery brown should do it. but before u wear it out check the color of brown with your eyes to make sure the shade of brown and your shade of green eyes dont clash.
