I am going to my high school formal on saturday.I am wearing a long dark purple dress with silver heels. I have short black hair and light to medium toned skin. What color should I do my eyes? Nails? Lips?

Answer #1

I think a dark green would be nice on your eyes, purple and green contrast well, if you go bold with your eyes use a neutral on your lips and vice versa

Answer #2

eyes- silver and black. buut not too dark. just alittle silver eyeshadow and black eyeliner on top. nails- a pearl color. lips- keep it neutral. doll up your eyes in sparkles and not your lips.

Answer #4

It depend on your skin tone,eye colour & hair. Are you going to a party or a formal function I beileve for your:

eyes: silver eye shadow with black eye liner even a little silver mascara might do. Nails: you could use silver or keep it less dressy with purple lips: I prefer lip gloss so maybe a lightshade of pink, you dont want to go over board expescially scince your eyes will be bold enugh.

even look up pixie lott she does her makeup really nice. Black and bold!

Tip: If you want to dress up the colour a bit more for night-time, make it darker at the roots of your lashes. “Use a slanted eyeshadow brush and wet the tip, then brush the shadow onto the outer corner of your eye on the lash line”

hope I helped

Answer #5

I think you should use maybelline’s stylish eye smokes in purple. You can buy it in Rite Aid and Walmart. it will compliment your hair color. Just dont put on too much. Use Lash Blast luxe mascarra number 840 it makes you lashes look long but natural. apply eyliner (I use Rimmel’s soft kohl eyeliner pencil) to the top and bottom. Only apply the eyliner in the corners of the upper. Mabelline’s dream liquid mousse air brush finsh in sandy beige (medium 1) is AMAZING! it covers everything and looks natural. Hope you can use this. :] have fun party up!
