Ok so i have green eyes,pale skin,light brown hair! small lips,well quite small,small eyes! i just want a natural look for day time! any ideas? colours! thanks!Natural makeup?
If you want a natrual look, stick to a fairly nuetral palate. Soft browns on the eyes are good, focusing on a medium tnoe on the lid and light color towards the brow. A shade only slightly darker than the lid can be used in the crease for a more dramatic effect.
Soft brown eyeliner can help with your eyes as well. A line on the upper lid makes the lid look more sultry, on the lower line it will open your eye. Place a line of soft eyeliner beneath the lashes and smudge it softly so there isn't a harsh line. don't line the upper lid. Another method is to use an angled brish or a lip liner brush in a soft brown to line under the eye. Don't take it to the inner lid, or too far out. The main center in best to open your eye. Experiment by bringing it out closer to the outter corner a bit at a time to see what looks best with your eye shape. Once you get to the inner corner, you are making the eye smaller again. Stop about the width of your pinky tip from the corner. Another popular trick is to use white under the eye... but experiment with this at home and be sure to look at it in natural lighting to be sure you don't overdo it. A color like that is easy to overdo, just like a red or pink... start small.
For your lips use a neutral brown/pink. Not too bright. to test a lipstick, dab it on the tip of your pinky. this area is closest to your lip color. The back of your hand is not. Hold you hand next to your mouth and look in the mirror, you'll see what I mean. Colors that look good on your hand will look completely different with your darker lip color behind them.
Max Factor has a color called Rosewood (color 1920) that is a great pinkish nuetral that I've seen look good on almost everyone. Try this first, or see what you can find at Sephora, they let you try on just about everything. Don't always listen to sales staff, if they don't have your complextion then they don't know what it's like out in natural light. I had a girl of latino descent try to tell me we were the same... I am of germanic descent and about as white as white can get.... I looked at her like she'd lost her marbles. And this was a high end store. A trick I like when clothes shopping or makeup shopping is to look for someone with a similar body shape or complextion. That's the best.
Avoid blush during the day, and use only a sheer base if you must. A good base trick to keep it sheer is to mix it 50/50 with your best moisturizer in your palm just before you put it on. this makes it go on sheer and fabulously smooth. Try this first. If you feel you MUST wear blush, keep it a soft pink close to your skin tone and brush it softly on the apples of your cheeks (make a goofy big smile and dab it on the roundest part). Use a BIG poofy brush to blend it thoroughly.
So, sheer base, nuetral eyes (a dab of color in the inner corner is fine - I'd try plum with green eyes... just a dab and blend it thoroughly with a nuetral lid) and only a soft brown liner on the center of your lower lid, smudged and blended softly at the ends so there is no hard break point where it starts and stops. Use soft brown mascara on your upper and lower lashes if brown is your natural color. Especially on your lower lashes to further open your eyes. Pinkish brown on the lips is a good natural look.
it may sound boring, but the overall effect can be lovely and mature but still pass for a natural beauty, just enhancing what you already have to share.
Oh, if you have great skin, skip the base completely and just put on a good moisturizer and when your skin is a bit dry, brush on soft powder to avoid shine.Natural makeup?
grey eyeshadow looks nice with green eyes... if in doubt just use neutral shades and you can't go wrong. the whole idea of natural makeup is makeup you can't see, so just test them on your skin for an almost skin colour match and it will accentuate your features.
i personally wreckon grey (light) eye shadow with a nice glossy lip gloss to make your lips more fuller with loads of mascara... maybe some eyeliner to open your eyes and make them look more prominent.
Go to ULTA and you can test all of their colors before you buy them! I have green eyes %26amp; for a natural look I use a color a little darker than my skin tone. But when I want to use a bolder color, purple makes the green more noticable!
If you just want a natural look for everyday, use light browns and tans. You will look good, but like you don't have a faceful of makeup on. If you want some color, I have always heard purples bring green eyes out.
For your eyes:
1. Put on a matte, neutral eyeshadow on your top lid and over your dark circles, if you have them.
2. Put a very thin line of black eyeliner on your top lid. It will make your eyes seem more open and your lashes appear fuller.
3. Put a bit of white eyeliner on your inner bottom lid. It will make your eyes seem bigger and stand out.
4. Apply a coat of black mascara.
For your face:
1. Bronzer is optional. if you want a more sunkissed look, i would def suggest usuing it.
2. Apply a tinted mosturizer over your face. Its not as heavy and foundation, but still gets the job done. Its better for your skin, too.
3. Set it with a pressed powder.
For your lips:
Just a coat of lipgloss (any shade) will do :)
There you go!
It may seem like a lot, but once you do it youll releize it isnt and gives you a very natural, beautiful, glowing look.

It shows you exactly how to get a natural look. xo
i've heard that if you use purple eye shadow it brings out the green in green eyes.Also for a natural look i would say a little bit on eyeliner on the bottom or top and some mascara.
BROWN EYELINER!! :) thinnly line the top so that your eyelashes look thick.. and verry lightly line the bottom just along the lashes so that the line is more subtle..make sure you put mascara on both top and bottom.. and as for eyeshadow a shimmery nude or pearl color.. and for lips probably just a good smelling chapstick so that they look moist but not over done...
use should use tinted moisturiser from the body shop i use it and like u i have green eyes. good luck
A nice pale pink will really bring out that green in your eyes
