What eye make-up is the best for me?

I'm a 22 year old female and have never worn an ounce of make-up. I've decided that I better start so I need some help. I'm pale, blonde hair (dirtier blonde) blue eyes . . . not so much dark blue but a lighter blue. I need something that looks good and isn't hard to put on in the morning... I'm the get up and go type girl. PLEASE HELP! lol I need all the appropriate suggestions I can get.What eye make-up is the best for me?
Alright. This will be easy!





First: use a tinted moisturizer as your base. Some of these come with sunscreen, too, so you are killing three birds with one stone, sun protection, moisturizer and foundation all in one.





Second: Use a soft pink blush from the apples of your cheeks swept back into your hairline. Most of your color should be on the apples of your cheeks. If you like, there are cream blush products out there that you can use as your lip color, as well. This will save you time and money. Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has a great one called Pot Rouge for lips and cheeks.





Third: use a pale ivory shadow from lashes to brow as a base. This will brighten your eye. Then take a soft taupe or grey shadow from your lash line to the crease. Either one of these tones will bring out the blue in your eyes.





Fourth: Use a pencil liner in dark brown, espresso color on the top only.





Fifth: Use 2 coats of black mascara





Sixth: Apply a soft pinkish/nude lip gloss





There you go! Simple and easy. Look dual use products ie: tinted moisturizers and cream blushes/lipsticks. These will allow you to get more bang for your buck, and will really pull your look together.





Have fun experimenting!What eye make-up is the best for me?
In order, of how much difference it makes:


1] shape and fill in brows if necessary


2] wear dark brown [ espresso ] or black brown mascara - depending on shade of brows or hair color


3] Physician's Formula eyeliner soft pencil - to match mascara.


a] use a very THIN line


b] line along lashlines only - not to inner corners of eyes, unless performing on Broadway


4] shadows are fun, because of all the color options. Try:


greens


grays


blues of a different shade than eye color [ teal, smoke blue ]


browns


purples


a] buy a trio or quartet of similar shades [ ex: several dif greens ]


b] put medium shade on lid, then


c] darkest in crease


d] a LITTLE of lightest shade on brow bone, and at inner corner of eye


e] blend with a good shadow brush


f] practice at home, and look at yourself in dif lighting - you want 'hello, beautiful', not 'how much for some fun?'
well omg its scary but i look the same as you do. i also have dirty blonde hair and blue eyes and yes i am pale lol. so ive been wearing make up for 2 years now and at first it takes a while to do makeup in the morning but after a while you will get used to it and do it really fast. so i use a shiny gold eye shadown, black mascara, black eyeliner and i sometimes do a black topliner. i put on some light pink shiny lip gloss and blush. it seems like alot but it really isnt. i would recommend to start off with a little of each and then add more if you want to. hope i helped and good luck!
start with a light brown semi- shimmery eyeshadow and some brown mascara.


add a light lipstick, lipbalm.


get the right shade of foundation/powder.


and also, most of us forget about our eyebrows. i use the Urban Decay brow box (it works wonders!)

for light blue eyes maybe a light or in the middle shade of brown eye shadow but not alot and dark brown eyeliner and maybe if you need it foundation and blush but u dont have to use it all if you want it to quick and easy
Look for an eyeshadow pencil to use. it's get up %26amp; go too. Avon or Mary Kay should have one %26amp; not too expensive.
i say u should wear light brown eyeliner w/ any shade of not-too-bold shadow and mascara. but make sure your mascara isn't black since your pale
