Eye make-up tips for brown eyes going to a dance?

My eyes are almond-shaped I guess and people say I have flecks of green in them but I can't see that. I have a 'dance' coming up so what make-up would you suggest?Eye make-up tips for brown eyes going to a dance?
~Applying a Perfect Base





1. Apply moisturizer 5 minutes before you start your makeup. All bases will go on more smoothly if your skin is well-hydrated. Tissue off any excess - while moisturized skin is good, too much grease will make it slip and slide.





2. Remember that less is more, so don't apply big swathes; instead, put a few dots around your face. Now, using your fingers or a foundation sponge, blend these dots together. make sure you blend extra-well around your hairline and jaw. If you've chosen the right shade for your skin tone, there shouldn't be an obvious difference.





3. Once the foundation has settled into the skin, check for any obvious under-eye shadows or blemishes showing through. If there are, correct these - if you have any of these and would like help on how to properly cover them up, click on my profile to e-mail me and let me know.





~How to Apply Blusher





For a natural healthy glow:





1. Apply foundation (and, if necessary, powder) as normal. Smile - where your cheek is naturally at its fattest is where blusher needs to go to create a natural look.





2. Apply the blusher in a small circle, blending well. For best results, try a gel blusher. Now powder over the top.





~How to Apply Basic Eye Makeup





1. Prime your eyelid. Eyeshadow will last longer if it's not applied directly to bare skin (oil on the lids can cause the shadow to crease, while dry lids will absorb moisture from the shadow, leaving blochy color), so sweep foundation over the top.





2. Fill in your brows. Choose an eyebrow pencil that's the same color, or, if you're a blonde or a redhead and have very pale brows, one shade darker than your natural brow color. Using light strokes, gently color over your brows to add emphasis.





3. Choose your shades. For this look, you need a light shadow, a medium shadow, and a dark. It doesn't matter what they are so long as they go together. Try ivory, dove gray, and charcoal on cool skins; taupe, beige, and chocolate brown on warm. Dust the lightest shade across the whole of your eye, lid, and socket.





4. Now, take the medium shade and apply this tot he eye socket and the outer corner. Blend well using your finger.





5. Take the darkest shade and, using your sponge applicator, apply a thin line of this along the top lid and around the bottom as close to the lashes as you can get. Blend this well with another applicator or a Q-tip to create a smudgy line. Finally, apply your mascara.





~How to Apply Lipstick





1. Apply Vaseline, then use a soft toothbrush to remove dead skin cells, brushing gently in small circles.





2. Apply your foundation as you normally would, making sure you lightly cover you lips too.





3. Apply lip liner that matches either your lips or your lipstick exactly. To apply it straight, rest your little finger on your chin and press the flattest side of the liner point on the middle of your upper lip. Draw to the corner, sticking it just inside the natural line of your lips. Once completed, line the rest of the lips with the pencil.





4. Apply your lipstick with a lip brush, blending again from the middle down to teh corners of the mouth. If you're using a very bright color, make sure you go right into the corners.





5. Blot with tissue. Now reapply another coat of lipstick. Blot again. Add lip sealant or gloss if desired.Eye make-up tips for brown eyes going to a dance?
it all depends. if its formal or casual. i have dark brown eyes and we can wear about any color! YAY! but if its casual try going with earth tones like browns tans and bronzeish. if its formal or semi-formal or if you feel like it take the main color your wearing ( or the color of your dress) and find an eyeshadow that gets as close to the color your wearing. so take a white eyeshadow and put it on your eye right beneath your brow. this highlights your eyes. then on the lid brush the main color that your using and brush it all over your lower lid stopping at the crease. then blend. or if you have a slightly darker color than the one on your lid after add the darker color onto the outside corner of the crease of your eye and take that about half way in the crease. make sure the the outside is the darkest. hope this helped. have fun at your dance.
I'm assuming you have dark hair and not pale-ish skin- You can always go to like Sephora or MAC and have them do your make-up for you. I would probably use MAC mascara- I use plush Lash Black- but yeah no matter what you do stay dark, especially if you want that like smokey/sexy look :)





I'd recommend dark grayish eye shadow, the blackest eye-liner you can find, and the black mascara to match. Another good mascara is the Neutrogena Healthy one- idk what it's called exactly you could find it in a drug store it's in like a plastic long silver tube.





good luck! :)
I would do a little bit of the royal blue eyeliner on your lower lid, this really helps to make your eyes pop! (especially if you're wearing blue)


then add a bit of eyeshadow to your top lid, (try to do the color of your dress or top, but don't do a lot, just do a light amount)


then do your mascara, just do a little on the top and bottom, keep it looking natural.


then i would just do dabs of foundation, so that you can just cover the blemishes!


Best of luck!


I hope i helped!
definitely go with a really nice sparkly green colour. emerald or a darker green would look really nice on you, also shows some of the festive spirit! use it more towards the outer corners of your eyes and then add a lighter bronze or golden shade in the inner corners or your eyes and blend them so there's a nice trasition between the two. then i'd go with a nice highlight underneath your brow and the tear ducts. can't go wrong with some nice black eyeliner and a sweep of black mascara to finish it off! hope i helped :)
A subtle gold shadow with a dark brown or black liner on the top lid. Extend the line outwards for a ';cat-eye'; look. That's always cute!





Or, you can try some glittery brown-gold eyeliner from Urban Decay, which was featured in this month's Seventeen.





Another cute, quirky look would be to line your eyes in bright teal, top and bottom lid. That will make your brown (and slightly green) eyes pop!
You have the same eyes as me. I use deep purples with black eyeliner and smudge in for a smokey look, presto for


smouldery sexy eyes! Colours can also depend on what colour your dress would be. Forget blues with browny greeny eyes. XXX
Having hazel eyes myself my advice is to choose either purple or green eyeliner/eyeshadow and brownish black mascara.
Hope your eyes enjoy the dance. lol!
green eyeshadows or grey
