Get a good quality, non clumpy mascara, lip balm (nothing super glossy), a well-matched lip-pencil, a rosy pink blush (looks gorgeous on deeper olive skin)...
Keep your eyebrows well groomed.
Curl your lashes and apply 2 coats of mascara to make your eyes look more open.
Line your lips carefully but not heavily and fill with the pencil, lightly. Apply the balm to blend and it wont look like youre wearing lipstick, just that you have nice even lips (or you can get a tinted balm). Apply a little powder foundation to even out the skin if needed, and then brush on your cheek color over the apples of the cheeks andalong e the cheek bones (subtly). Getting a neutral toned eyeshadow with just a hint of shimmer, or a subtle gold/copper looks nice too if you want to get a little more dressy while still looking natural.
If you aren't skilled with makeup application, skip heavy lipstick, and using eyeliner because it looks tacky when done poorly.
Keep it subtle and don't jump on ';trendy colors'; unless you know how to apply them or it looks tasteless. And... have fun!
PS
Applying a mineral makeup to your whole face will make youlook FLAT and nooo good in pictures so be wary of applying it too heavily!!!I need help for natural looking make up for me!?
Loreal Bare Naturale Mineral Makeup works really well
If you have a good department store in your area, I would go there to the cosmetics counter and ask one of the makeup artists to give you some suggestions. They can put some on you, so you can see if you like it before you buy it. (I really like Bare Minerals makeup myself so if you have a Bare Escentuals store, that would be good too.) My skin tone is hard to match with cheaper foundation (I would always have a line around my chin and jaw so it was pretty obvious if it was the wrong color), so I had the Bare Escentuals people take a look and they did a custom match so it works perfectly. They could also give you some suggestions for blush color and eyeshadows and whatnot that would work with your skin and eye color, and if you ask I'm sure they wouldn't mind giving some pointers about how to apply it as well. Just keep in mind that those people are salespeople too so they will be hoping that you'll buy some of the makeup when you're done, and department store makeup can be a little expensive.
You should visit www.covergirl.com. Do a makeup consultation, it tells you all your shades for eyeshadow, eyeliner, and blush. Its awesome.
Hi, olive tan skin is lovely...you can skip foundation if you have good skin and just lightly dust some mineral veil (Bare Escentuals) brand to cover uneven color pigments if any or to lighten you face. You can use a little bronzer on cheeks to highlight them and create the illusion of high cheekbones, you can also pretty much play with many colours for eyeshow since you have olive skin...best shades would be any shade of gold, brown, bronze and black. Since you have full lips it's best not to use any ';loud'; colors...such as fushia red...try go for lipsticks that have ';muted'; undertones...avoid dark colors too. Best Colors to go for are neutral shades...if you're not sure...get one two shades darker or light than your natural shade.
use powder not foundation. Neutrogena has a great line.
i would recomend light eye shadow colours .. maybe a gold or baby pink or blue. It all depends on ur outfit . I wouldnt recomend browns or dark colurs. As for ur lips why not try a nude colour lipgloss or even a clear gloss. For olive skin i find a rosy blush looks amazing . It really makes a difference and makes you look more alive. Eye liner and mascara preferably black would also look good.
hope this helps ya !! :)
keep trying different shades till u like one the best. I have olive skin and this is wat i use.
