Build up your eyeshadow in light layers. It's a lot easier to add more color than to take it away.

Purple really compliments and brings out brown eyes. That can intimidate some people, because they're picturing the brightest fuschia, but just use it as a focal color, and blend it in with gold, browns, and even a little bit of black.

Question

How do I get the dark color in the Kris look?

Community Answer

Buy eye shadow that resembles that color, so then (if you can apply makeup) you should get the desired look.

Question

How do I apply nude lipstick?

Community Answer

First you should apply a concealer on your lips that is one shade lighter than your actual skin tone. Then apply a lip liner if necessary, then add the lipstick and finish with a nude lip gloss if you want.

Community Answer

Either do a classic smokey eye or try to go for colors that let your eye color pop out. For ex. blue - brown,reddish,etc. You can either look up what colors suit your eye color or try to work with the classic color wheel.
