coz I have no idea!

I always wear mascara, either brown or black, but the only eye shadow that doesn't look ridiculous to me is my favourite light pink stuff, ehich I wear every day.

I really want to be more adventurous, but when I have attempted darker colours of eye shadow, or eye liner, it always looks ridiculous on me and I end up washing it off and putting the usual stuff back on.

I'm just getting sick of always doing the same thing, and think it is rather conservative and gives off the wrong impression that I'm a bit boring and librariany, if you get my drift?

I want to have smokey dark sexy eyes sometimes!

What do you lovely ladies do and how do you do it?

My daughter has watched all of this girls films, and she actually speeds them up, probably to fit all the demonstration in. When you hear her talk at normal speed, it takes FOREVER

oh my god! How fascinating! It's like watching some strange different culture! She called that a neutral look! surely not! I'd equate neutral with natural, shows how little I know.

Oh I'm feeling so overwhelmed now....

My eyes are not deep set, but a bit on the small side and almondy shaped (not at all round), so eyeliner makes them seem even smaller to me.

I made that mistake too - turns out 'neutral' = 'browny colours', not 'no make-up'...

it was the placing of the different shades on the eye that helped me - no-one had ever told me to put the darkest one in the crease...

walkinginawinterBundleland · 13/12/2007 16:17

if eyes small DON'T put eyeliner below eye, only above, and "tick" a bit at outer corner (takes bit practice) - then put on mascara.

MrsBadger · 13/12/2007 16:18

cod her nails are just as bad

OverMyDeadStuffedTurkey · 13/12/2007 16:21

ok, so eyeliner only on the top eyelid then?

I had no idea it was all so complex...so if I do this I won't look like a tart on the pull? obviously I want to oooze sophistication and sexiness

Mrs.Badger that helped me too! I had no idea about where to put the different shades
