You dont look like you need concealer or foundation so we can skip that part.


For eyeshadow I you'd look best in Mac shadows because from experiance, having freckles and wearing sparkly eyeshadow like Urban Decay's doesn't end up well. Go for a purple-y/brown colored shadow. For eyeliner I say go for what you have on there, whatever eyeliner you're wearing, keep that and for mascara, any kind of Clinique works wonders!
I think a good base such as Cover Girl, True blend would work quite well. And then they have bronzer to reduce the paleness and make you look more tan. Don't get a shimmery bronzer because it seems to have too much sparkle and make the tan look fake, be sure to even it out on your face well. I wear a lot of mascara and curl my eyelashes too, that would look great on you. Oh and if your out tanning don't bother putting on the bronzer and true blend, it also works as sunscreen. And in summer, don't bother wearing all the make up ;)





Hope it helps !
I think you NEED to get some bright eyeshadow on!!


i think everyone should wear bright eyeshadow
You don't need makeup, darling, you're a lovely girl. Go natural.
really its all down to preference, find something you like using and stick to it. here is some of my experience with different brands:





MASCARA:





i love bourjois maxi mascara extreame volumising length mascara, with this they never clump together. i have tried all the mascaras you can think of and this is the best by far.





when choosing a mascara, consider the types of mascara and select one appropriate for your lashes and the occasion. you have a choice of lengthening, thickening, long-wearing, conditioning and waterproof formulas, among others. for day, you might decide to add length, while a night on the town may require a long-wearing or thickening formula. for me, mac mascaras are the best as i like to add length to my lashes.





you didnt mention the natural colour of your lashes? if you have blond or red lashes, opt for brown mascara. darker-lashed women can consider brown for a casual look, and black or brown-black for more pronounced or dramatic lashes.





when applying mascara a great tip is to curl your lashes with an eyelash curler, it will make your lashes look heaps longer. remove the wand from the tube in one pull. pumping the mascara will push air into the tube, potentially drying out the formula and introducing bacteria into it.





begin with the underside of your upper lashes, moving the brush slowly upward toward the tips of your lashes. always hold the wand parallel to your eyelid. roll the brush slowly on the upward stroke to promote separation of the lashes.





allow the first coat of mascara to dry before applying the second coat in the same manner. use an eyelash comb to separate the wet lashes. also blot the lashes with tissue paper if necessary to remove excess mascara. use less mascara for the lower lashes. begin where the lashes meet the rim of the lower eyelid, and gently stroke downward. remove any stray mascara around the eye with a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of eye makeup remover.





FOUNDATION:





mineral make-up is great, i LOVE loreals true match minerals, i know its quite expensive but its really worth the money and that little pot lasts forever. it does reduce the ammount of spots you get as it doesnt clog the pores unlike most make-up. however, if you have dry skin it may not work for you. it can sometimes make dry skin look even dryer and a bit flakey. see if you can find sample pots (you can get these from alot of sites that ofer free samples) before you invest in a pot for yourself.





whatever mineral make-up you choose, allow your moisturizer to dry and absorb before applying your make-up, this may take a few minutes. always use a non-mineral, oil-based moisturizer that will not clog pores. if your moisturizer does not absorb into your skin, neither will your mineral makeup. use a setting powder as a base all over if you have oily skin...it will help absorb the oil naturally. mineral make-up should be applied in light layers. if you feel you need more coverage, keep applying light layers.





begin with clean hands and a clean face. then apply moisturizer appropriate to your skin type. let it set a few minutes, particularly if your skin is oily. camouflage under-eye circles and blemishes with concealer.





select a foundation that is appropriate to your skin type and the coverage you wish to achieve. the colour should match your skin, disappearing when blended well. shake the bottle well to mix the formula. or, simply open a stick or compact version. place a small amount of foundation on the back of one hand. dip your makeup sponge or your middle finger into it. apply to the center of your face: cheeks, forehead, chin. blend out to your hair and jawline until the foundation vanishes. pay special attention to blending around the nose, mouth and jawline. set the foundation with loose powder immediately following application.





or foundation can be spot-applied to the areas where you need to even out your skin tone. remember to set your face with loose powder after application.





if you can, i would definately reccomend getting professionally colour-matched at a department store. make sure to check the foundation in natural light though. select a formula that is right for your skin type. people with dry skin should avoid wet/dry and stick foundations. people with oily skin should look for formulations that are oil-free and will need to powder after applying foundation.





another way is to dot foundation onto your face and then blend using a latex sponge. these are quite cheap and can be bought practically anywhere. these sponges allow for a polished, natural look. if you are allergic to latex, try using a natural sea sponge.





remember, foundation does NOT have to be applied all over your face. just target the problem areas. if you blend properly and have a foundation that properly matches your skin tone, you will not look blotchy.





LIPS:





the body shop do some great lipgloss and theyre really cheap too, that means you can buy more lol. they smell good enough to eat.





prepare your lips with a generous slick of lip balm in advance. nobody likes cracked and frayed lips, and in cold winter weather its important to take more care than usual. make sure that the lip balm has sunk a little before you go on to the next step, otherwise your lip liner won鈥檛 work.





get a natural lip liner, and carefully draw around the very rim of your lips. if you get a wobbly line, don鈥檛 panic, just carefully remove it and start again. when you have a firm line fill in the rest of your lips with the same colour.





then you can apply your lipgloss. again, keep the colour natural. forget lipstick that鈥檚 too dark or too light. one thing you鈥檝e gotta remember though, gloss looks better but doesn鈥檛 have the staying power of lippy. make sure you keep it in your purse and re-apply during the day.





then, if you want plumper lips, use your lip plumper. all you鈥檝e got to do, is dot a white shimmery product like eye shadow or an eyebrow highlighter in the very center of your lips. start slowly, and blend very carefully. what you are looking to achieve is natural looking shading, with your lip colour being lighter where your mouth opens. this will create the illusion of beautiful full lips.





EYES:





smokey eyes:


holding the skin of your upper lid taut, apply eyeliner from the inside corner of the eye outward. draw strokes into the lash line. the middle of the line should be a bit thicker than the edges. use a cotton swab (or your finger, if you're lazy like me) to ';smudge'; the liner.





dab an eyeshadow brush into a deep-hued eyeshadow and apply over the eyeliner to set the line. (blow on the brush first to remove any excess shadow). layering liner with a shadow is the secret to a perfect smoky eye.





blend shadow well, then follow with eyeshadow. colour should diffuse from rich and dark near the lashes to almost sheer as it extends to the crease.





bold, dramatic eyes:


bold eyes are a dramatic choice for evening. try eyeliner shades other than deep black for a super cool look. you can use either a liquid liner or try the makeup artist's trick and use an angled eyeshadow brush dipped in a deep-hued eyeshadow. skip the pencil for this look.





holding the skin of your upper lid taut, apply the liquid liner from the middle of the eye to the outside corner of the eye. draw a second line from the inside corner of your eye, letting the two lines meet. the outer edge of the line should be thicker than the inside. if you have close-set eyes, avoid taking the line all the way to the inside corner.





POWDER:





mineral make-up is great, i LOVE loreals true match minerals, i know its quite expensive but its really worth the money and that little pot lasts forever. it does reduce the ammount of spots you get as it doesnt clog the pores unlike most make-up. however, if you have dry skin it may not work for you. it can sometimes make dry skin look even dryer and a bit flakey. see if you can find sample pots (you can get these from alot of sites that ofer free samples) before you invest in a pot for yourself.
