Anyone have some ideas for changing my makeup a bit?

Ok, I posted this yesterday but didn't get many answers. So...



I'm 16 %26amp; I have a medium brown hair (right now anyways... I dye it alot, but that's way off topic), blue-gray eyes that sometimes look green-gray, and VERY pale skin with a few freckles across my upper cheeks %26amp; nose.



Right now, I wear:



- a light foundation just to even my skin tone out



- a line of black eyeliner on the bottom lashline



- a bit of brown-black mascara



- I also usually wear some clear or lightly tinted lip gloss. Occasionally, I'll wear a darker glossy-type lipstick (mostly just for special occasions).



I'm getting a bit tired of wearing the same exact makeup every single day. So, anyone have some suggestions for something new - but that won't take me too long to apply? (I have about 5-10 min. for makeup every morning... 15 if I'm not doing anything too special with my hair.)



Oh, and I'd really like to play up my eyes - I think they're my best feature.



Thanks in advance! =)

- I used to wear black liner also only on my bottom lashes, but then I switched over to a dark brown %26amp; started to line both the top and bottom. Covergirl's Perfect Point Plus in Espresso is a great dark brown - it will really make your green-gray eyes pop %26amp; it will compliment your pale skin, too. I've found that just by changing the color eyeliner I use really changes my look. Lining my top lashes also really made them stand out!



- You could also try using a dark brown liquid liner on top (Revlon ColorStay or Wet N Wild MegaLiner is the best) - it gives more of a defined look %26amp; it stays on longer than than kohl or pencil. Also try drawing it out a bit at the edge %26amp; drawing it past your lid a bit - it will make your eyes appear larger.



- To also help make your eyes stand out, try applying a shimmery pale gold or white onto the inside corners of your eyes %26amp; along the brow bone. This helps to make you look more awake %26amp; your eyes look bigger.



- For gray-green eyes, go with eyeshadow colors like deep browns, golds, bronze colors, and deep purples. Try applying an oil-free moisturizer to your lids before putting on eyeshadow; it will help it last longer.



- I have very pale skin also, and blush definitley helps highlight my face. I really like Covergirl Cheekers blush in "Rose Silk" - just a little bit of shimmer %26amp; it's a nice pink color. Overall though, just try to go with pink or peachy colors, they will compliment your skintone most!



- My favorite lip product is Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper chapstick - it gives just a hint of red tones to my lips without being too dark %26amp; I really like the subtle color.



Hope this helps :)

Okay so here's what I see for you:



Try a simple plum shadow on your eyes, nothing too dark and just that one color, maybe a little highlighter under your brow if you like. A black line along your top and bottom lashes with black mascara. . . of course! Purple tones are pretty flattering on most eye colors and are one ot the hot colors for fall.



What about some cheek color, I know you said you're pretty pale. Me too! Some time's us sun-less girls get a little too excited about our porcelain complexions that we want to show them off and end up looking a little sickly. So throw on a little pink blush (something with a little violet undertone, another hot trend this fall) on your cheek bones, then without re-blushing your brush, sweep it across your forehead and down your nose. This will slightly highlight you, making your face glow.



With color on your eyes and cheeks, keep your lips simple, strawberry flavored Chapstik is my favorite, but whatever clear or tinted lip gloss that you have! ;-) Have fun, good luck!!

try a gray shadow in the crease of eyelid, just in the crease tho it'll make them look deeper set and will show off your eye color more. then you might not need the eyeliner on the bottom lashes, try it with and without (the liner)

well first of all you have alot of the same features as my little sis and so i think you should definitely play up your eyes like you said. try using a little black eyeliner on only the top lids make it a thin but noticeably line. then curl your eyelashes and load up on the mascara ( i am obsessed with my lashes lol ) i use volume exact by covergirl it really separates your lashes and if you want more drama, add a different volume mascara like super thick lash also by cg, it will make your eyelashes look super long. and one thing i recomend is only use the foundation where you need it because your skin will ultimately look better if you let your skin shine through but i understand undereye circles and zits are not something you want to show off lol. but lastly i would suggest a bit of bronzer and blush. add some chapstick or neutral lipgloss and you will have a good look. i wouldnt recommend putting eyeliner on your lower lashes because your eyes will end up looking smaller. hope this gives you some ideas good luck! :)
