I'm getting paid next week and plan on buying lots of wearable and fun MAC shades. I already own the following:
Vanilla
Retrospeck
Ricepaper
Honey Lust
Club
Steamy
Bamboo
Care to give me any suggestions on what to buy?
Also, if you have any color suggestions for the MAC Paint Pots, I'll gladly take them as well. :)What are some MAC eyeshadow essentials I should add to my collection?
Bare Study paint pot is a great item to have on hand. It works great as a base but also as an eyeshadow by itself. It has a bit of shimmer. But is so flattering on most skin tones.
I would also recommend
Sumptuous Olive
Brule
Amber Lights
Soba
Carbon
Hope this Helps

What color eyeliner and eyeshadow should I use to make my eyes look really pretty?
My eyes are a really dark brown. They look almost black because they are so dark
Also so my boyfriend will look at them and say wow??What color eyeliner and eyeshadow should I use to make my eyes look really pretty?
Soft pink will really bring your eyes out. Keep eyeliner to a minimum - just use it to lightly frame your eyes. Avoid black
Also, dark brown eyes look stunning lined in shades of plum (mix with a pale mauve shadow), aubergine (mix with a shimmery light pink shadow), raisin (mix with a mushroomy soft brown shadow) or charcoal , just remember to combine with a lighter shadow or your eyes may look more dramatic.What color eyeliner and eyeshadow should I use to make my eyes look really pretty?
Hi, I have dark green eyes so I know how hard it can be to work with a dark color. I think you should try to use maybe a light blue, or maybe a you could use a beige or some tones of brown or some greens but be careful because really light light colors like light pink or baby pink may not work too well.
Black liquid eyeliner, eyeshadows : tanish, bronze, beige, silver, grey, black.
i have black eyes too... but you dint mention the tone of your skin... i think black eyeliner and brown mascara should be perfect for you... eyeshadow usually will be cool if it matches your dress but with black i usually like browns and light pinks... light pink makes you look more girlyyyy... browns usually go with all dress colors and for all occassions...
brown eyeliner and teal, silvery eyeshadow. it'll make your eyes stand out wonderfully! also a bit of dark brown mascara and peachy blush
You'd be surprised.
But dark eyed girls do look good in dark colours.
Try using natural colours such as brown or gold. (I know gold isn't so natural)
Also, don't put it all over your eyes..try doing it just above your lashes so that it shows and excentuates your eyes but doesn't make you look gothic. I do it sometimes with browns and dark blues.
Shiny/shimmery colours such as gold and copper look really nice too. As far as the eyeliner goes...Don't put too much. Put just enough for it to blend in with your eyelashes so that it looks like you have on a bit of mascara.
It works every time.
black eyeliner and a smokey brown eyeshadow in the crease and a pretty gold on the lid. also use a few coats of black mascara. it would look great.
eyeliner- black or black/brown on top and bottom
eyeshadow- cocoa for your browbone and a pastel pink for your eyelids and around your eyeliner.
Also try a baby blue eye color to accent your eyes- in the crease of your eyelid.

How do you make eyeshadow look cute?
I can NEVER get it right! It always looks uneven. How do you apply it and what with? Any tips would be great. 10 points for the best!How do you make eyeshadow look cute?
It takes practice, and with the proper techniques you should be great. You apply eye shadow with many types of brushes, go to youtube and look up ';makeup tutorials'; they hold all your answers.How do you make eyeshadow look cute?
You either apply with this:
http://www.planetbeauty.com/brands/Illum鈥?/a>
How to apply:
You can't really learn to apply it by pictures. So this is what I do, with a clean fresh brush I put the eyeshadow on with gentle wavy strokes on my eyelid. I make sure it is all going in the right place and if it goes out a little I just wipe it either with my finger if it is a powder eyeshadow but a wipe if it is liquid. Though, if you just play around you should be able to find your own perfect way on how to apply it.
Good luck!
You have to have a brush set. The sponge applicators most come with are junk. You can get brushes at Target or anywhere for cheap!
http://www.target.com/Sonia-Kashuk-Essen鈥?/a>
It's a lot to explain online (brush by brush), but if you want, go to your local Macy's and have a consultation with any counter. I'd suggest one of the big 4 (Estee Lauder, Lancome, Dior, or Chanel)- they have the best colors to work with for a beginner, and can explain everything you need to know. And it's free!

What is the best eyeshadow color for me?
I have dark brown eyes and light to medium colored skin tone. What eye shadow colors can you suggest that will look pretty with that combination? I am looking for different colors since most of the ones I have now are different shades of browns and greens. However, I am not very keen on extremley bright colors and like my eyeshadows to look more ';natural';- if that makes any sense. Thanks!What is the best eyeshadow color for me?
A light shimmery gold or pinkWhat is the best eyeshadow color for me?
green
stick with what you are wearing with your color of eyes and color of hair you should wear fall colors
the color of strawberry lemonade kk by!
you can compare
Depends on your hair color.
Dark eyes go well with almost anthing not too vibrant.
try a voilet color eyeshadow, like the almay brown eye eyeshadows they offer
you could even try white
plum is a great color for brown eyes - you could even experiment with a really dark eggplant color
I think a pink color would look good. Not really light pink tho. Or a somewhat deep golden brown. I think those would be your best colors.
Lavender is very pretty with brown eyes.
Try a purpleish color...I have the exact same skin color, and brown eyes, too. I tried purples; a dark purple, a med. purple, and even a lilacy color - i liked the lilacy color, but experiment with them - test them and see what you like!!
light brown or navy blue work well
almost a bronze color would work well also
gold violet pink those would look really good on u luv u lol
try light brown purple or green ......those are the best color for wat ur looking for..... good luck. all the girls in my family have brown eyes and medium skin
You can go to Mary Kay web site and there is a part on the site where you can play around with make-up and what is best for your eyes and tone color of your face
Go for a soft burnt orange color
light earth tone colors.
I looked this up the other day for me (I have blue eyes) and I went out and bought the colors it suggested and my eyes look great. Here:
http://www.make-upusa.com/faq/eyeshadow.鈥?/a>
I think that both brown and green would look very pretty but you should try like a darker pink or white or maybe even a darker blue. and depending on your eye colors you could choose more colors and when you do that it will bring out the color in your eyes and make the eyeshawdow look some what natural.
A friend of mine has the same eye and skin tone and looks great in bronzed/rusty colors.
i would say a light blue or silver! those are my fav. I also have dark brown eyes and light to medium colored skin tone, they work great for me.
Black
you should probably use dark oranges. it would be good. or you should just use greens actually. greens are good colors for girls with brown hair.
I would try a light warm blue or a warm orange.
http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>
Yes, a light shimmery gold would be good. That's what my friend wears and she looks like what you described. Otherwise the browns and greens sound nice.

What are the best eyeshadow colours to use when you have blue eyes?
My eyes are kind of a dark smokey blue. And my eyes are quite small but I've been told they are pretty :) So what colours do you think would suit me? I'm going to a party tonight and wearing a kind of magenta dress and I was going to do bright purpley pink eyeshadow. Will that look good? Thanks :)What are the best eyeshadow colours to use when you have blue eyes?
a smokey eye look, with slate grey... pearly-ish white, and a smoky black. just blend it into a smokey eye and that should make small blue eyes look a little bigger and give your color a popWhat are the best eyeshadow colours to use when you have blue eyes?
I have your colour eyes.
What i suggest if, don't wear ANYTHING dark
especially if you have small eyes, it will just make them look smaller.
The purpley pink could work, but maybe you should try giving it some definition, and apply it lightly because too much colour could actually distract from your pretty eyes!
I tend to wear, gold, lilac, pale shimmery blue, green and very light pink.
All of those tend to bring out the colours.
A lot of people say brown, but i find that actually makes my eyes look smaller and indented or something. You should just stay away from dark colours with dark blue eyes. Dark brown can wear dark but blue should go light and shimmery.
The lightness and the shimmer should make your eyes look bigger.
:)
hope i helped.
Shades in the brown, rose and violet families are best. The warm hue of these shades contrasts with the cold tone of your blues to really make them pop. Use a shade that is darker in tone than your eye color to make your baby blues shine
I think that'd look cute cause it'd match with the dress and bring out your eyes. So that'd totally look cute, and for other occasions, browns and golds are the best for blue eyes.
i wouldn't go for pink/purple eyeshadow, especially with kinda small eyes.
i think slate grey, black, and pearly white are best with blue eyes. and white in the corners makes your eyes look much bigger
Dark pinks, oranges and brown look best, because they bring out the blue. Purple can sometimes dull the blue, so it is not really recommended.
light tones naturally go nice with blue eyes. i think purpley pink would look good as long as u keep it soft. Overdoing it might look a little off.
tc
Well i always read that you should stay away from your own eye colour when using shadow... so pinks and purples would look great! Especially with that dress, sounds really nice! : ) have fun
people with blue eyes can get away with pretty much any color its just a matter of if you can put on make up good or not.
silver with brown eyeliner...
golds make your eyes shimmer.
i think a grey silver, or a dark smokey blue.

What is an appropriate lipstick colour to wear with blue eyeshadow?
I am a brunette with brown eyes and medium skin tone. I sometimes wear a dark-ish blue eyeshadow for evening makeup, any suggestions as to what colour lipstick would compliment it?
ThanksWhat is an appropriate lipstick colour to wear with blue eyeshadow?
It usually goes, if you are dramatic with the eyes, you go light on the lips. If you go heavy on the lips, you use a light eye shadow. So a dark blue eyeshadow would probably look best with a very light lip gloss, nothing too bright or stands out too much or else it will make you look sort of like a clown.What is an appropriate lipstick colour to wear with blue eyeshadow?
Don't match your lipstick to complement your eyeshadow!!! You can wear so many colors that complement blue, but it should look good on you, otherwise you will look like a clown!
If you are wearing blue eyeshadow, and it's that noticable that you would match a lipstick, then I would say downplay your lips and do a heavier eye. If you are using just a bit of blue eyeshadow, and otherwise very little eye makeup, you can go with a more dramatic lip color.
peach lipstick if your lips are naturally reddish; none if they are lighter. then swipe on some sheer shimmery gloss ranging in color anywear from a light nude shade to a subdued coral. avoid hot pink. also, if reallyyyy dressing up, try a maroon or dark red. it is sophisticated %26amp; classy, and not tacky at all. veryy pretty.
wear a sheer lip gloss with no colour and a bit of shimmer. When you wear a strong color like blue on the eyes it's best to dim down other features so just your eyes stand out. I know with blue eyeshadow it's easy to accidently look tarty. Especially if you wear red..
a pic would help as I rarely think blue eyeshadow looks good on anyone without blue eyes. And even then it depends on how they are wearing it. but something leaning towards a purple may do well as it would have blue tones in it.
Something light and/or glossy. If you play up one part of your face, in this case your eyes, you want to downplay the other. Maybe glossy peach or light pinkish or bronzey.
Something light and glossy with a hint of color.
The general rule is that you should ';pick'; one area to emphasize...eyes or lips, not Both.
Otherwise it can look trashy and overdone.
Peace
my suggestion is always whenever you have a dark colour on your eyes your lipstick should be as light/nude as possible...maybe even a tinted gloss in the closest shade to ';nude'; you can get
You don't need to match your lipstick to your eyeshadow. For the summer, wear a gloss or a deep shade of pink lipstick with bluish undertones.
a natural colour, if your have made-up eyes you dont want to look trashy by having too much make-up on, try like a subtle lip gloss instead or lipstick.
Hope this helps. x
a light pinkish color, or something with coral tones, even a hot pink would look hot if your not sure, just go with clear gloss.
blue eyeshadow is not attractive. Go with earth tones if you must wear eye shadow. It should appear to be a shadow, not paint.
SOMETHING NUDE.
REALLY CLOSE TO YOUR NATURAL LIP COLOR.
JUST A CLEAR GLOSS IS BEST.
OR EVEN A NUDE PEACH COLOR. JUST A HINT OF PINK.
nothing with color...try a clear/nude gloss or lipstick..you don't want anything to red or pink or dark because you might end up looking like a prostitute.
A shade or two darker than nude or a soft pink
clear gloss...you don't want to look look a clown or a bad eighties flashback :)

What are some great eyeshadow colors for a dark skinned girl?
I've never worn eyeshadow before, well I tried and I found myself looking really retarded so I removed it. Maybe it's cause I'm not good at applying it.
Any suggestion for good colors that will match my skin tone (dark brown)What are some great eyeshadow colors for a dark skinned girl?
Light purple, very light orange, or a feint creme/beige. Those work for me when I see them on a beautiful dark skinned woman. If that's really you in your pic I think you are cute enough to stay au naturale on the shadow and maybe just touch up the eyelids (just a tad). I know there are more knowledgable and qualified people than me to advise you. I'm just telling you from this guys point of view what I think is pretty.What are some great eyeshadow colors for a dark skinned girl?
The all time best eyeshadows are from MAC and Urban Decay. You can't go wrong with these two brands. I always use a black for my lower lids, like Perversion by Urban Decay. And then I go lighter in the middle, like Baked by Urban Decay which is a nice gold color. I then use the lightest color on my eyebrow bone to highlight my brows (in Urban Decay Gridlock or Scandal). You should start with Urban Decay's Book of Shadows with 16 shadows....I love this set. Then go on Youtube and find eyeshadow tutorials (QueenofBlending is amazing). They will guide you step by step on how to put it on so that it looks beautiful.
The best colors for dark brown skin:
black
gold
plum
green (I promise...green is really pretty)
I don't know how much of a dark brown skinned girl you are. Don't try black, it's kind of hard to notice I had to put a lot on my friend. I think a light purple would look nice. Just experiment. I personally do not see a picture of you but I have experimented on my friend and she looks great with dark blue and purple and especially gold, not silver because it tends to look a little ashy.
Bourjois Ombres 脿 paupi猫res in 71 Or Raffine as a Highlighter ( Apply on whole eye after putting concealer %26amp; loose powder as a base.

I'd recommend earth colours. You know, browns, greens, blues, etc-
I have a friend that does makeup tutorials, that are like really good,
here channel is http://www.youtube.com/makeupisfunx3 she has tutorials on green-gold colors, etc- she's light skinned, BUT she purposefully does colours that look good on everyone. You have to just find a colour that's good for you.
Colours that I think look good on dark skin is purple, green, browns, oranges, golds, a like a faded silver color, MAYBE, a blue. I say maybe because you probably can't rock all shades of blue.
But yeah, you have to experiment. You can't just say ';colors for dark skinned girl';, because every girl is so different, you have different features, different personality, different colours in clothing you often wear, different shades of dark skin itself...it just depends on the person. You have to find the colour that you think looks good on you, and fits you more, you don't want to look cloned to all people with dark skin, do you? lol...good luck
i would say definitely look for maybelline eyeshadow in antique jade http://www.es.maybelline.com/images/products/thumbNails/360ESU_xl.jpg and also some nice colors like dark greens and golds such as :emerald , down to earth and copper penny from the queen collection by Covergirl http://www.covergirl.com/products/product.jsp?productId=queen_1_kit_eye_shadows hope this helps i`m sure it will look great : )
when i do my friends make up (she has a dark skin tone as well)
i like to use gold tones, with black eyeliner, or if you want something more subtle grays and silvers work too.
and if you really want to be bold, a shimmy purple color will look awesome.
and about the applying thing, if you go on covergirl.com they have so many tips, and have live chat that can help you pick out colors, also!
hope i helped(:
pink...orange...blue depends on the shades
oh gold is a lovely color that matches dark brown sistas...umm check this tutorial hope it helps
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ruDgDOC鈥?/a>
Im dark and if apply well I say brown with gold or either Brown or gold. Especially if you apply it right and it make brown eyes look gorgeous.
try matte colours such as dark red,indigo and sometimes even beige will look nice
goodluck :)c++

You should start with Urban Decay's Book of Shadows with 16 shadows....I love this set. Then go on Youtube and find eyeshadow tutorials (QueenofBlending is amazing). They will guide you step by step on how to put it on so that it looks beautiful.
The best colors for dark brown skin:
black
gold
plum
green (I promise...green is really pretty)
I don't know how much of a dark brown skinned girl you are. Don't try black, it's kind of hard to notice I had to put a lot on my friend. I think a light purple would look nice. Just experiment. I personally do not see a picture of you but I have experimented on my friend and she looks great with dark blue and purple and especially gold, not silver because it tends to look a little ashy.

I'd recommend earth colours. You know, browns, greens, blues, etc-
I have a friend that does makeup tutorials, that are like really good,
here channel is http://www.youtube.com/makeupisfunx3 she has tutorials on green-gold colors, etc- she's light skinned, BUT she purposefully does colours that look good on everyone. You have to just find a colour that's good for you.
Colours that I think look good on dark skin is purple, green, browns, oranges, golds, a like a faded silver color, MAYBE, a blue. I say maybe because you probably can't rock all shades of blue.
But yeah, you have to experiment. You can't just say ';colors for dark skinned girl';, because every girl is so different, you have different features, different personality, different colours in clothing you often wear, different shades of dark skin itself...it just depends on the person. You have to find the colour that you think looks good on you, and fits you more, you don't want to look cloned to all people with dark skin, do you? lol...good luck
i would say definitely look for maybelline eyeshadow in antique jade http://www.es.maybelline.com/images/products/thumbNails/360ESU_xl.jpg and also some nice colors like dark greens and golds such as :emerald , down to earth and copper penny from the queen collection by Covergirl http://www.covergirl.com/products/product.jsp?productId=queen_1_kit_eye_shadows hope this helps i`m sure it will look great : )
when i do my friends make up (she has a dark skin tone as well)
i like to use gold tones, with black eyeliner, or if you want something more subtle grays and silvers work too.
and if you really want to be bold, a shimmy purple color will look awesome.
and about the applying thing, if you go on covergirl.com they have so many tips, and have live chat that can help you pick out colors, also!
hope i helped(:
pink...orange...blue depends on the shades
oh gold is a lovely color that matches dark brown sistas...umm check this tutorial hope it helps
