How come whenever i put eyeshadow on i look overly made up, even though i have no makeup on but that?

you are probably putting on a shade that is too light. either that, or your not used to it. for darker skin, its hard to look too made up unless you are wearing too light of makeup, which makes you look like a clown.How come whenever i put eyeshadow on i look overly made up, even though i have no makeup on but that?
If eyeshadow is the ONLY product you wear, I think you need to balance it out a little makeup in other areas. For example, if you use lip color or gloss, it's going to make your eyeshadow look prettier. You should also use a bit of other eye makeup so that the shadow doesn't ';stand out.'; A nice coat of mascara, a little eyeliner - it'll make a difference.





You don't have to be made up like a clown. Different products will work together to present a balanced, put-together look.





Have you thought of visiting a cosmetics counter for some advice? It's free, and often they'll give you samples. You might find some shades that are flattering to your skin tone. If the products are too pricey, as department store cosmetics tend to be, look for similar shades in a less expensive product. Some drugstore products are just as good as their pricier counterparts.

its hard 2 find good shadow colorz for dark skin, dats y u shud stay away from darker colors like blue n prple n find lite glittery shades, like gold n bronze. try wearin bllack eyeliner in a 'v' shape. stick away from silver eyeshadow.. a green gold eyeliner is great, i hav a isadora one, its calld green gold.
hi





because your skin color is darker, any color swill show up on your skin, you lucky girl!! Lots of pple would love that u know..It'll definitely bring out your eyes.





If you want a softer look, I suggest toning down the color. Look for colors that are darker and warmer - bronze, espresso brown color, dark purple/plum.





But you shdnt be worried about that. Instead, play up those colors! =)
Perhaps you are using a color that does not suit your eyes or skin color. Or you blend it all wrong. Try using refreshing colors. Or light colors. :) But it really depends on your skin color. But you didnt state it so.. yeah. :)






For darker skin, you need a darker eyeshadow.
