what is the best eye make up for beige colored skin, with a black prom dress?
My hair is a light brown, and I have brown eyes. What goes good with all of this?
I would avoid using metallic eye shadows on prom night as they are more likely to rub off or crease. Instead, I would work with three shades of WARM brown eyeshadows (in powder format for long-lasting effect): a light brown from eyelid to eyebrow, a medium brown on the lid and then a deep brown blended into the crease and smudged out and up a bit at the edges. Then, I would use a tiny bit of shimmery, cream-colored shadow just at the inside corner of each eye and dabbed VERY lightly on the skin immediately under the outer half of each eyebrow. If you feel like you need more emphasis, use a rich, chocolate brown liner before your black mascara). If you want to curl your lashes, do it before you apply the eyeshadow.
With this kind of look, stick to a warm bronzer and a shimmery, pinkish-nude lipcolor. You'll look radiant.
I suggest you look at the books by Kevyn Aucoin (particularly Making Faces but also Face Forward) for excellent, step-by-step photos and instructions of makeup looks.
