Make up tips!

Getting old sucks!  Anyone  who says otherwise  are  either younger then you or are lying.  The Golden Years are anything but!  Being a women and being old is even worse.  Women get the short end of the aging stick.   Women grow old, men are distinguished, women are menopausal, men are assertive, women are fat, men are filling out….What the hell?  While we are on the subject, why do only women seem to suffer from empty nest syndrome? Don’t men have children too?  It takes two (usually) to have children, then why are we the only ones that suffer? 

 But you don't have to take it!  Confidence is the key and with a little help from your makeup.

Do you have a feature that you feel is the best part of you?  For me it is my green eyes...I play up my eyes and down play the rest...oh I also counterbalance with my lips

Choosing the color of your eye makeup shouldn't be an automatic decision. It's not about wearing the trendiest color or the shade of purple that matches your dress, especially if these colors are wrong for you! If you're looking to best complement your natural coloration and bring out your eyes, picking the perfect eye makeup is an important step.

Your overall look can be pulled together with this simple choice, so it's best to know what colors will give your eyes the most impact. And no, you do NOT want to match your eye color to your eye makeup. Rather, let's learn how to complement your eye color for maximum effect.

Eye Makeup Choices for Brown Eyes If you have brown eyes, you've got the biggest decisions to make. Women with brown eyes can choose from a wide range of colors to play up their eyes. In fact, almost any color will suit those big brown eyes. Stay neutral with champagnes and bronzes, or get more bold with greens, golds, and blues. Brown eyes also go well with shades of beige, peach, coral, copper, pink, pale purples, and even browns! For an evening look, try a smokey eye in grey with plum accents or a vibrant burnt orange color.

 Eye Makeup Choice for Blue Eyes You may be disappointed to learn that blue eye makeup is NOT the right choice for blue eyes. But the good news is, there are plenty of colors that really do set blue eyes alight. Look for shades of taupe, gray, violet, purple, deep blue (no periwinkle or sky blue here!), and silver. Brown-toned oranges are especially beautiful on blue eyes, so don't pass up on these shades! The key is to look for colors that will work with your eyes, rather than compete with them--so avoid aquas and ceruleans at all costs.

Eye Makeup Choice for Green Eyes (me) If your green eyes are joined by a pale complexion and freckles, avoid deep or shimmery toned eye shadows. If you've got green eyes and olive-toned skin, you can go with darker colors but should avoid silver and blue. Stick to brown hues with red undertones for the best results. You'll also have luck with beiges, chocolate browns, purples and some pinks. You can accent your eyes with a lighter green tone, but avoid darker, more vibrant greens on those green eyes. That's just too much of a good thing.  I use mostly pink and purple to make my eyes pop....I line with plum or navy blue liner for day but use black at night for my dramatic eyes....I also line the inside rim of my eyes in black.

Eye Makeup Choice for Hazel Eyes (my eyes change with mood and what I am wearing, so I also choose hazel colors) If you thought brown eyes could wear lots of colors, wait until you see how diverse a hazel eye can be! Able to enjoy wearing the widest spectrum of colors, women with hazel eyes need to understand the composition of their multi-colored eyes to best play them up. In general, stay away from blue shadows, which can dull down your hazel eyes. Aside from that, however, almost any shade is fair game! Study your eyes to see if they are more green or brown or gold, then make the right choices based on the guidelines above.

You'll be able to choose from a range of neutral colors like brown, gold, pink, lavendar, plum, khaki, and mocha. Purple is usually the best choice for a dramatic look, as well as warm shades of mocha to offset your green hues. Choose soft pink for a toned down look or make your eyes really pop with a bright shade of teal! The choice is yours!
