can you tell which brand is likely to be good for contact lense users. I am a first timer at using lenses What is the ideal brand for eye-make up for contact lenses users?
I just got contacts last week and am a life long Clnique fan. So far I have had no problems with make-up. Just don't use waterproof mascara because it won't wash off the contact easily. I use their quickliner for eyes on my waterline and it has been fine. Just remember to put your contact in BEFORE you start applying make-up to avoid getting it on your lens. Clinique is good because they don't add a lot of crap to their products. They can be a bit expensive if you are young or don't have much extra money. Look for a make-up line designed for sensitive skin or hypoallergenic and you will be fine. What is the ideal brand for eye-make up for contact lenses users?
MaxFactor. Or Clinique.
I've heard Clinique is supposed to be good, and Almay as well.

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

How to do eye make up for a fair skin?
i have red hair, blue eyes, fair skin and freckles and i have no idea how i should do my make up. I use a brown eye liner but i feel like it makes my eyes look small, and then i have no idea how to make my eyes pop, and what mascara and eye shadow do i use?How to do eye make up for a fair skin?
We have the exact same features!
Here is what I usually do:
Make sure you have a blank canvas to start with. This can be achieved by a cream to powder formula such as Benefit Some Kind-a Gorgeous. Apply this foundation with a foundation brush for the most natural, blended look. After, take a smaller brush to go over any imperfections such as pimples, undereyes, eyelids, etc.
Then apply a bronzer (BareMinerals Warmth) to the apples of your cheek, extending towards your hairline.
Then sweep your face with an all over face powder with a large brush to blend in all areas and set the makeup. Try Covergirl Powder Compact.
My favorite drugstore eyeshadows are definitely Maybelline.
Try the trio in Bronze Glitz I think it is called? My favorite. It has a light cream shimmer, a golden bronze shimmer, and a rust shimmer. The good things about the little applicators is they deliver a really nice color.
Put the light cream on the inside corner of your eye to about the middle of the lid. On the outside of the lid, shade with the golden bronze to the middle inside of the lid and a little along the bottom lashline, on the outside corner of the eye and up along the bottom edge of the brow bone, forming a V-Shape. Finally, swipe the cream along the top of the brow bone and under the eyebrow, and also put a dab at the inner corner of your eye.
If you want to add eyeliner, it would look really cute winged out along the top to make your eye appear larger. Or, take a deeper shade of bronze, like the rust color, and sweep it along your lashline with a wet eyeliner brush.
And thick black mascara is a must! MAC Plushlash is my favorite and it is only $11 and is the best mascara I have ever used.
Hope this helps!How to do eye make up for a fair skin?
Eyes: Apply an ivory shadow all over lid. (lightest color in quad in the link) Then apply a copper shadow in the outside of your crease and the outside corner of your lid. (third darkest color, you can even go a little darker with the copper) To make eyes pop, apply white liner to your waterline. Use dark green, gray or navy blue eyeliner on the lash line. Start from the outer corners and go half way in, no farther than that. With your mascara brush, brush upper lashes upward and lower lashes downward. I like to use Diorshow, Lancome Definicils, or Covergirl exact eyelights mascara. (eyeshadow link http://www.lancome-usa.com/makeup/eyesha鈥?/a>
Cheeks- Use a highlighter like this (http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?鈥?/a> in glow) on cheek bones and bridge of nose. Then use powder bronzer and put on over cheeks, a little on forehead, and on the bridge of your nose. This will give you a sunny glow. If you want, you can also use on top of this a little shimmery peach blush.
Lips- Use whatever you want.....but don't go too dark! a light pink would look best!
use some light champagne eye shadow with some liquid liner, mascara, and eye liner this is what you need

What are some good ways to put on eye make up if u wear glasses?
i wear glasses and only put on eyeliner but i really like eye shadow but i think that u can barely see it. what are some tips for putting on eyeshadow so its noticeable but it looks nice and not too much.What are some good ways to put on eye make up if u wear glasses?
well the best thing to do is make sure that the color of the eyeshadow matches the frame of your glasses. that way, it will make everything look natural, but very beautiful (no i'm not saying that if you have black rims, that you should wear blake makeup) but more like something that compliments it, like a blue or purple or even a green. and go to www.covergirl.com they have some techniques to putting on eyeshadow and making it stand out. or next time you are at the grocery store, look through some magazines and find some makeup tips (they always have them)
or you could google it too.
(eyeshadow techniques) %26lt;- google thatWhat are some good ways to put on eye make up if u wear glasses?
When I wear makeup with glasses this is what I do--
Eyeliner -- Try just lining the top, but when lining the bottom of your eyes, don't connect it all the way to the inner corner of your eye, just connect it 2/3 of the way there.
Mascara -- If you have long lashes, don't put too many coats of mascara on (only 1 or 2 will do). I find sometimes that when I blink, it sometimes leaves lines on my glasses so try to buy mascara that dries fast. Avoid clumps as much as possible since they are easily seen for us.
Eyeshadow -- You can handle darker colors if you have big eyes, but if you have small eyes, try to keep it to a minimal.
Hope that helps!
use a base for eyeshadow. curl you eyelashes, then mascara. also use darker colors and more bold for it to be seen.

How Should I Do My Eye Make Up?
Hey Y'all!
Tomorrow I'm wearing a dark teal green very loud graphic print dress and black leggings and I was wondering, how should I do my eye make up?
Should I just go with a simple, yet thick lined eye or should I attempt to use a shadow that matches the dress?
Please let me know.
