No - its very very dark navy.

I've got dark grey/blue eyes and it looks nice.

ShadeofViolet · 15/05/2010 18:19

Like the eye crayons - nice price too

OT I know but I have just found out who Su Sylvester is courtesy of R4! Hurrah! I know something about popular culture

Elgoogreven · 15/05/2010 18:30

ok su, so you've seen my luvverly face with the good teeth and the pale skin and the spot i had over the christmas that very nearly got it's own spin-off you tube series.

what make up for me?

i really don't wear any unless i'm going out somewhere special and then go for virgin vie eye palettes (4 colours and a drawing of where to put them
i never wear eyeliner as i can't do it but do put mascara on as i have long pale lashes.
blusher usually looks a bit glittery on me.
never wear lipstick as it comes off into my pint immediately.

do me?!

combination/oily
i just use simple moisturiser everymorning, occasionally use simple facewash when i remember.

i am usually the palest tone of foundation possible.

i think i like liquid foundation, compact seems to make me look a bit flat cancelling out my freckles. (am thinking of virgin vie facebase).

ok, i'll brave next time i get out of the countryside.

SuSylvester · 15/05/2010 19:06

hmm i think a good concealer ( maybe jsut htat) or foundation is a basic
then cream blush
mascara
then if feeling daring an eyeliner
agree re BB although am never convinced by shade of foundation - had a tinted balm one last summer nad was SO PLEASED to go back to Vl in autumn..

currrently use either revlon or rimmel foundation then rimmel powder. bourjois concealer. black liquid eyeliner and currently rimmely 3 in 1 mascara.

benefit or nars blush in either a pink or peach tone

then revlon or no 7 nude lipstick with barry m gloss over the top

am booooooooooooooooored .

for going out, it is bascially the samne, but with some eyeshadow too and eyeliner under the eyes too..

Lulumaam · 15/05/2010 19:10

oops, forgot to say

pale skin, tends to be oily and i get spots, still. but no wrinkles/lines to speak of.

green eyes

hair currently reddy brown

don't want to spend £££

sungirltan · 15/05/2010 19:16

any advice?

i can spend a bit but has to be avail in frasers/debenhams/boots

Elgoogreven · 15/05/2010 19:18

where do you put eyeliner?
really. i look crap. and it makes my eyes look small.

Celery · 15/05/2010 19:29

I use a liquid eyeliner pen along my top lash, and then along the bottom I use eyeshadow applied in a line with a flat eyeliner brush. Usually a soft bronzy grey colour. Smudge it a bit with my finger.

SuSylvester · 15/05/2010 19:51

sungirllight
most of us reptile dry skinners liek chanel vitalumiere - not good for oily skin though
go and blag a sample

SuSylvester · 15/05/2010 19:52

Elgoo
i too have small eyes
i use the doublewear pencil as it comes out as a thcik line - almost like wet eyeliner.
i put it all around eyed and NOT on inner rim.
if oyu dont have that one either use an eyeshadow wiht a wet brush or a liner wiht a smudger.
are youuseing black? on brunettes in day time it can look too harsh and ageing

OP posts:
SuSylvester · 15/05/2010 19:53

lulumaaaaaam
try a new shade of pencil or shadow. if you get a shocking purple and are all then just put it on your lids so it gives a flash of colour.
also what is witht eh dull lips.. try a gloss wiht a tint maybe?

OP posts:
Elgoogreven · 15/05/2010 19:54

i never where it.
on the annual occasion when i try it it's not right.

SuSylvester · 15/05/2010 19:54

also lulumaam black liquid eyeliner might give you the air of myra hindly - unless you are black or very dark skinned.
ask your bluntfreind ? - is this crap - would i be better with a grey or brown?

OP posts:
SuSylvester · 15/05/2010 19:56

well try then nonce head.
i like grey for hazel - got a number 7 one that was okaaaaaaaaay - texture not good but shad ok. had a rubby thing on end. pull eye straight. start from outter corner towards nose confidently dont go right down to nose though or youll look boss eyed

blend

then do underneath
then admire

OP posts:
Lulumaam · 15/05/2010 19:59

I tried a bright turquoise as under eye liner, still with the black liquid on top lids.. deffo not myra hindley -esque-- i do flicky wings with the eyeliner but i do have big eyes and long lashes. (best feature)

might try something purpley/auberginey in a smudgey pencil/shadow

i know lips are dull, but have tried sooooo many colours , from red to purple to brown to shell pink and everything else, and end up with the same nude colour.. i don't think i suit lippy
