Q: To not be able to look good with eyeshadow. I swear, I have tried several different colors and it makes me look like I am sick. My skin is pretty uneven..since I have dark freckles randomly about my face, and lighter freckles from the sun on my cheek bones and nose. I also have redness around my eyes and nose, chin, and kind of around my cheeks and forhead. Is my uneven skin tone why it makes me look sick? I have watched SO many you tube videos and everything, I don't know what I am doing wrong. ohh but I do. Wouldn't it look crappy though when my foundation fades and whatnot by the end of the day? Thank you everyone so far!
A: Since your skin tone ranges from light and dark freckles, try getting a concealer stick and covering up the darkest areas, only using a little bit, to hide them.Then use a liquid makeup and blend about 2 parts foundation, one part lotion into your palm, and use iton your face, rubbing in in, but not off.Don't use a lot of this, because it wil make your face produce a lot mre oil.Then if you need to, get powder the same shade as the darkest area of your face or maybe a shade lighter, and put it on lightly on your face to set toe foundation.Then if you don't think colors look that great, use a dark borwn on your eyelids, with a shadow the color of your shin just above and up to the brow to highlight it.See how that works. Just evening out your skin tone and then using an array of browns and chocolate colors will work for your face.Another possibility, maybe the colors you were trying dint compliment your skin tone.You can alywas go to the Cliniqe counter and they'll tell you exactly what to do as far as your makeup and color that will work on you.Good Luck! xoxo
