Make up ideas?

Hmm you know what I found pretty cool? Pop beauty sells these eyeshadow sets called "eye cakes." They come with different color palettes, some are based on your eye color, and some are just good for a smoky eye, some for a neutral eye. They are good for experimenting with shading and with combining colors. They are kinda pricey (like 20), but I find them fun and helpful to use.

But yeah, I mean don't be afraid to experiment with anything! If you are nervous about a dramatic look, just practice it at home in your spare time. As for colors, I think pretty much any color will make your light eyes pop. Hope that helps!

To start I would invest in a really good foundation/tinted moisturizer and some good undereye concelear. Makeup Forever (in my opinion) has the best products for the face.. I love their Lift
Concealer (in a peachy/orange based shade to cancel out any blue tones you have under your eyes) and the HD foundation. Makeupalley.com has good reviews if you want to find the perfect foundation or whatever.

Also, the key to a really nice, natural makeup look is brows. I think defining your brows just a bit with a brow powder with make your gorgeous eyes just pop! To finish off the look, maybe smudge a bronzey/brown eye kohl into your lashes on the outer 2/3 of your eye on top and the lower 1/3 on bottom (MAC Teddy is my fav) to add some definition. Or you could try winged eyeliner? That's an easy way to do a neutral look. And mascara is great too.. I love L'Oreal Voluminous cause it's cheap but works just as good as YSL or Chanel or Dior.

I'd say just pop on a peachy/pink blush (NARS Deep Throat or Milani Luminous), a bit of highlighter on top of your cheekbones (Benefit High Beam is nice, or even just a pale, shimmer eyeshadow works fine too) and a neutral pink gloss would be perfect.

And if you wanted to venture into more dramatic eyeshadows, purple would definitely enhance the green in your eyes.. Shale (by MAC) is a great purpley/grey color that's really neutral but still a little bit dramatic.

HTH!

Your features are so beautiful. For an everyday look I think all you'd need is some foundation and fillin' in your brows. Maybe some mascara (in an eye-flattering shade, if you're wanting to bring out your eyes. Try Almay's or CG Eyelights). But that's just me!

I would use Mac Select SPF or Studio Sculpt very sheerly applied (go to counter and have a colour match done, but have them give you a sample to take home and see how you get on with it!)

Mac eyeshadows that look pretty and natural that would suit your eyes:

Bronze, amber lights, soba, patina

Black mascara x3 coats! I like pro lash

I think everyone is right, your eyes are pretty so accentuate them with colours!

Foundation, just try something sheer to start with. Studio Sculpt is fuller but you can blend it in very soft and sheer and it looks flawless on the skin!
