I'm looking for a new style of makeup for myself. I have pale skin, a lot of freckles, and blueish-grey eyes. I'm starting to think the makeup i wear is too dark... Usually I just wear black eyeliner and black mascara,sometimes eyeshadow. Do you have any suggestions or tips on what kind of makeup would look good on my skin?What kind of makeup would look good on my skin?
I do think black is too dark. a purple/plum type of eyeshadow and eyeliner works great with people youre eyecolor/skin color. ive seen it on serveral people and i know plum seems weird but a dark plum will workWhat kind of makeup would look good on my skin?
OMG I had the same problem except for the frecklees! You should use NYCs smooth skin pressed foundation in701A or Translucent, brown eyeliner and black mascara. For eyes shadow do a dark brown on the lid and a ivory color all the way up to the brow. Or you could use Sandy Fair from Everyday minerals Report Abuse
Foundation/ Bronzer.- Cover girl has great foundation -$12 a case. Sometimes it does give you the Shiny look, but it will be fine with a little bit of Bronzer over the top of it. I recommend www.eyeslipsface.com . The Bronzer this is great, but you have to find it to match your skin tone. Everything is 1 dollar! Best Bronzer I have ever used.
Lip gloss/ Chastick- Lip gloss has an oil in it that promotes cold sores and chaped lips, no matter what kind you buy. My advise is to always apply an even layer of chapsick before you apply the lip gloss, that way the lipgloss won't be touching any skin and will keep your lips shiny without cold sores. (any kind of lip gloss is acceptable, my favorite is anything from eyeslipsface.com.)
Mascara- Maybelline Collassal Volume Express Mascara (The kind in the yellow bottle -$3 at drugstores) is amazing, it doesn't clump your lashes and doesn't leave you with racoon eyes when you go to take it off. You can get this mascara either waterproof or non-water proof.
Eyeliner- I like Revlon eyeliner pencil. It isn't waterproof though, but it does stay on until you take it off, and best of all, it doesn't smudge when you rub your eyes. -$8 at drugstores.
Eyeshadow- Covergirl has great eyeshadow, it is my favorite drugstore brand. -$6 a palette. It comes with every color you will need to pull off the look you are trying to go for.
Target has great brushes.
Hope I helped :D
I agree, black eyeliner and mascara is too dark for your coloring.
I'd try silver eyeshadow--nothing too glittery, just a soft shimmer. I think it would be really pretty with your eyes and skin tone. Use blue or grey eyeliner--black is too harsh.
For blush, decide whether pink or peach looks better--then use a light shade designed for someone with fair skin.
Lipgloss can be clear or with a slight tint in either pink or peach, matching with your blush. Keep the focus on your eyes.
i have pale skin and sometimes the same colored eyes, they change though, haha. I also used to wear thick black eyeliner and I still like it, but I do different things now too. Anyways, What my family and friends say look good is when i wear black eyeliner on the bottom of my eyes, and bronze and gold eye shadows on my eyelids, with just mascara. If you feel funky then you can go buy purple colored eye liner from hot topic, and put that on your top lid, but black on your bottom. With your skin and eyes its a very good idea so make your eye lashes pop because you're eyes are probably pretty. If you don't already have it I would suggest Define-a-lash mascara by mabelline. I don't have long eye lashes, but this makes them look really long, no joke, well as long as you use it right. Theres a lenthening one and a volume one, I would suggest both because if you were them at the same time, they are flawless! But don't get waterproof because its hard to get off, and it gets clumpy and I've lost a lot of eyelashes to it!
good luck!
Try using gold around your eyes. it looks great on everyone.
Try antique gold eyeshadow and pencil in the same colour on the inner rim. You can use a chocolate eyeshadow and apply it close to the bottom lashes like a blended eyelinder and to the outer third of the eye, then blue or black eyeliner.
Subtle but very pretty on fair skin.

You can try using a different color mascara like maybe dark brown instead of black. Also instead of using black eyeliner you can try a color eyeliner either blue to bring out the blue in your eyes or even brown usually is a good compliment for blue. Also check out MakeUpProducts.com they have makeup tips on there that may help you.
i also have pale skin and lighter eyes
and i use brown or gray eyeliner because black is too harsh against fair skin
i also use neutrogena healthy volume mascara in brown
for blush, i use either a peach or a rosey color
and eyeshadow, if i wear any, i tend to lean towards a taupe or lightbrown to enhance my eye color. hope it works :]
try using a brown/black mascara and eyeliner. it will look a lot less dramatic and more natural. and to make your eyes pop more use a white liner or white/light eye shadow in the tear duct of your eye and blend it in a bit.. I hope this helps a bit. :)
I have light skin too and I used to wear really dark makeup too. I found that just switching to brown, grey, or even blue eyeliner tones it down a little. I'd also try a lighter mascara. I have blue eyes too and i think brown eyeshadow brings my eyes the best (just don't go too dark).
wear a blue or brown eye liner so it wont look so dark and a brown mascara for the same dark reason for eye shadow id say pink , blue , silver, and white colors that are metallic but not dark but still noticeable look really good
dont wear any makeup, or wear just a little, like some masacara, or just eyeliner. you have pretty eyes, so you dont really need much makeup :)
a brown liner and brownish gold shadow, will make your eyes pop against your skin without being too dark. pink lips or a little bit of rosy blush will ';warm up'; your light skin tone.
yea that is too dark
my friend has your skin tone
and it just is too dark
were brown eyeliner
mascara(dark brown)
and light eyeshadow
like camel or creme or even light pink
grayish or brown eyeliner and maybe brown-black mascara
wear a blue eye liner a silver shadow and a clear gloss with a lite foundation

What is a good product to use for dry skin around eyes and lips?
I have extremely dry skin around my eyes and lips. My skin has become red and flaky. It also burns sometimes. I've tried several different products but nothing seems to work. I can't go to a dermatologist because I do not have health insurance right now. Does anyone have any suggestions?What is a good product to use for dry skin around eyes and lips?
Vaseline is best for the lips as it has no ingredients to cause allergy, and is very moisturizing if used after bathing when moisture has had a chance to be absorbed into your skin. Vaseline can then keep it there longer by forming a thin barrier to keep it from evaporating from your skin as quickly as it might. This also works on all skin locations the same way if applied after bathing.What is a good product to use for dry skin around eyes and lips?
i use a little vaseline
u can also use olive oil(works great for the skin)
and i also use a thick moistureizer called Deep Moisture Creamy, vaseline makes it and u can get it at walmart.
Try Paula's Choice products at www.cosmeticscop.com. This line has many good items that won't irrate your skin and can be used around the eye area. Check it out!
for lips you can use vaseline pet. jelly, for around the eyes, use a good extra moist. lotion.

What drugstore foundation is good for dry skin with acne?
I want to to find a good quality foundation that won't break me out. Also how do you find the right color?What drugstore foundation is good for dry skin with acne?
To find the right colour you will need to use the tester that the store provides. If your store doesn't have testers I would recommend going somewhere else. There is really no way to know you have the right shade without trying any. Put a small amount on your jawline, you want to go vertically from below your cheek down to your neck (a 1 inch length is more than enough). If the shade blends into your natural skintone then you know you have the right colour. As for foundation that wont break you out, different people have different skin so what works for you may not work for someone else. I recommend a mineral foundation though for your acne, I've heard this tends to work well at clearing it up. I've heard that Bare Escentials (spelling?) is great at this, however I don't believe their products are available in drugstores.What drugstore foundation is good for dry skin with acne?
Before you apply any foundation I think that you should apply a good moisturizer, so your skin won't be dry. I know that dry skin has trouble reflecting light so the foundation would look just flat and fake, so yeah i think a good moisturizer is veryyy important.
I don't think that any foundation would be GOOD for acne but if you buy mineral foundation it shouldn't be that bad.
To find the right colour foundation you should apply a little on your jaw line, and apply a little on your neck, because you don't want an orange face and a pale neck, or vice versa :)
okay so;
1. get a good moisturizer
2. Mineral foundation (powder)
3. Apply on jaw line and neck
good luck!!
i think Neutrogena would be great for you.
first try and match your color to the swatches they have. then pick the three closest ones and swatch them on your jaw. the one that disappears is yours. if none of them match, try blending two together.

How do you get rid of flabby skin after weight loss?
I just lost 15 pounds. I joined Weight Watchers and started walking. I walk 3 miles a day. I have no more wieight I need to loose, but I don't know how to firm up the flabby skin on my inner thighs. Any advice?How do you get rid of flabby skin after weight loss?
There was something I started doing to do JUST that- get rid of inner flab on my thinghs! Lucky you, you got me to tell you that I...:
I began doing what I call the ';frog';, in which i held lightweight dumbells in my hands (4 lbs) and spread my legs knee-width apart. Then I bend my knees and squat, legs knee width apart, and touch the dumbells to the ground. The exercise targets the inner thighs excellently and will tone them fast. It got rid of my flab in no time.
You might want to start out without any dumbells at first, case you get hurt cause your thighs aren't used to it =)How do you get rid of flabby skin after weight loss?
U have lost it too fast. Continue with ur walks, it might firm up in due course.

strength training 4x a week will tone you up and get rid it .. its free and natural.. Moving forward, always strength train and do cardio..

What is the best way to maintain skin elasticity when losing weight?
I have quite a bit of weight to lose and am TERRIFIED of sagging skin. There is a definite difference between sagging skin and untoned muscle. Once you have sagging skin, you may as well opt for surgery. It is almost impossible to get rid of. How can I prevent this? I am most concerned about my stomach and my inner thighs. I am in my late twenties. I am sure I need to drink plenty of water and moisturize. Any other tips? Please help. I would almost rather be heavy than have my skin sag...What is the best way to maintain skin elasticity when losing weight?
You're in your late 20's so your skin still has a lot of elasticity. If you are morbidly overweight, you will have some skin sagging no matter how old you are. If you are just moderately overweight, your skin may be able to spring back.
All I can suggest is that you make sure your diet includes plenty of healthy whole foods.What is the best way to maintain skin elasticity when losing weight?
ME TOO!! I am 22 years old. I am in the process of losing weight and I would looove to know how I can keep my skin from sagging. I have seen so may surgery shows where the person loses significant weight and they still have to be surgically put back together lol. I dont wanna look like fat bastard from Austin Powers!!!
Boo...
What do you consider morbidly overweight and moderately overweight?
Btw, I am using a skin firming lotion by jergens. Not sure if it works but I will try anything!
there isnt much you can do if you have quite a bit of skin left, but luckily you are young and so is your skin.. start using lotions and stuff with collagen in it, as it improves the elasticity of skin.good eyeshadow

Can you eat a peach with its skin on?
I'm planning a stunt for a class tomorrow in my project, and I need to do it quick. So is it possible to eat a peach just randomly with its fuzz on it?Can you eat a peach with its skin on?
yes. i do it all the timeCan you eat a peach with its skin on?
Sure! A peach fresh off the tree is delicious!
Yep. Wash first before eating.
Have a great day! : D
ofcourse it is how else do you eat it? dont tell me you peal it everytime before you eat it!
WASH it very good first, THEn go 4 it .
You're kidding- right? When was the last year you ate a piece of fruit? Was it after the turn of the Century??! The ONLY people I know who want their peaches pealed- are pre-schoolers! Be a ';man'; %26amp; go for it. You might actually LIKE it!!! :0
Yes you can I think its good. Just wash it off
Yes.
Sure.
Yes, just make sure that it has been thoroughly rinsed to get rid of any pesticides.
Thats the best part.
wash it real clean first.
yeah dude...is this the first peach you have ever eaten?
Surly you can... just wash it throughly.
yes, most definitely
Sure- but wash it first..and don't swallow the huge pit inside .
if you can stand the tickle, it's perfectly safe!
Why not? They're edible and easy to eat.
Sure , if you can stand it. It gives me the chill's. I blanch them 1st to remove the fuzz.
no..if you do..you will grow peach fuzz on the roof of ur mouth a peach fuzz monsters will breed on ur tongue and dance.
yes you can eat the skin.
Yeah !!! a duh!! What's wrong with eating a peach with a skin on??? Yes of course !!! You just have to wash it!!! I sometimes do if it is necessary , like if you have just picked some peaches and want to see if you like it sure you can just wash it!! But most of the times i like to eat it without the skin but the bad thing is just the skin is some times been on the ground and it looks so disgusting that you don't even feel like eating it up. (you might feel as if you want to puke)LOL!!!
Hope this helps!!
P.S I guess you've never eaten a peach with skin on it so this must be a pice o good advise. by the way try it it might be nice!!!
You can. I've seen people do it before. Not sure how good it is, though, I haven't done it myself!
Yes you may, but you really should wash it to remove any tree fruit bug spray that may be on it. Also you never no who has handled the peach, so just for your own sake I would wash it. Why not wash a few that way it won't matter which peach you grab. However, If you grew the peach in you own back yard then there is no worry at all...

I don't think peaches are in season, but yes you can eat them with there skin on them
is there any other way?!
I only eat peaches that are whole with their fuzzy skin on them.
yes u can
some people will not like it, but yes, i eat it with the fuzz on :)
just make sure it's ripe!
You need to practice eating some peach fuzz before the class starts.
Not only is it possible but it is advisable,that is where a good part of the benefits lie ..to keep the peach in the great condition you get them a lot of stuff has been sprayed on them to protect from pests,so you need to wash well before eating .

What causes the yellow discoloration of the skin?
A woman, a friend of my parents' has a yellow discoloration on the palm of her hands and a little bit appearing on her nose. Does she have some type of illness? I'm afraid to ask her myself because I don't want to offend her.What causes the yellow discoloration of the skin?
maybe yellow jaundice hence yellowWhat causes the yellow discoloration of the skin?
all of ther previous answers are correct, however the most common cause of yellow skin discoloration is anemia. this is an iron deficiency in your blood. some people don;t get enough iron in their diet and some people get anough but have problems absorbing it.
She probably has cirrhosis or hepatitis-- both very serious liver conditions-- or something wrong with her bile duct. Is the woman an alcoholic?
If the liver is not malfunctioning, and if your friend is a health nut, what comes to mind is carotenemia, where the level of beta-carotene has gotten quite high. No danger, just wierd looking. I had a coworker quit smoking and take up carrots to replace them, and ate so many she turned orange.
Bottom line: we can't diagnose or even make very good guesses in this forum without complete information.
It can be caused by a taxed or compromised liver (jaundice)or hepatitis I beleive. It also could be a circulatory disorder.
Might be a liver or kidney disorder. She should have it checked out fast!
Sickle cell maybe my friend has it and she is like that even her eyes. and when she is sick they turn so yellow they look almost green
She could have Hepatitis or Jaundice. You can also get a yellow colorization if you eat too many carrots. It is called carrotonitis.
hmmmm, i know, you could play a game with her in which you each come up with a Native American name for the other. She could come up with 'nosey-rosey' and you could come up with 'yellow-paws' or 'yellow-honker' for her. when she asks why those names you can ask what the problem is without offending her. i think you know why she comes up with 'nosey-rosey' for you.
