The one I bought is even too pale for my ghostly white skin "light 10", I'd go one darker. This next is GREAT if you're in a hurry: Cover Girl eye enhancers (3-pk eyeshadow) #110 Shimmering sands. Really pretty with blond hair! I rarely use the darkest, but light under brow and medium on rest. Then use the light a little over brow and in corners of eyes!

> > I don't know if you like colors, my eyes are blue, but my niece stole this from ME!! Her eyes are brown.(She's breathtaking) Take a blue pencil and line bottom lid, I use maybelline dusky navy or whatever I have laying around. Do you have brushes? A MUST. A small flat brush. Do you have Cosco? I got a cheap Pack of good brushes there. THEN...take your brush and wipe it across Covergirl eyeshadow in violet frappe(or closest you can find) and reline your eyes OVER the blue liner. It will set it forever.

> I have green eyes, they're kind of an army green. Here's my routine: after using Revlon Colorstay foundation and powder, I apply an ivory eyeshadow from lash to brow, then I use my blush in the crease - in a very pale coral/tan color. I then use a brush with powder on it to blend it all very well.

> Then I add the same blush on the cheekbone, and finish with mascara, eyebrow pencil and lipstick. This makes for a very natural look, which goes well with a dark red lipstick (which I love!).

Does sound very natural and pretty, I don't think I could get away with it!!! I'll try!
>For night or a special occasion I will add liner, usually dark brown, but sometimes green and occasionally black. I do the same thing you do, I apply the liner then brush eyeshadow over it.

How long for you to do your normal routine? (minutes)

This is fun! It is. I need to shake things up a bit! Hey, if you have a favorite, list the make too!

It IS fun, we should do it every week. If more people chimed in, think of the secrets we could learn and the money we could save lol! I think its harder to find make-up made for our skin, but once its on, I think it looks better! Those are definately the colors that look best on me, corals, and reds.My son has those army green eyes...LUCKY!!! That purple eyeliner would be pretty. We'll switch for a day!!! I have to wear liner though or forget it. When its on the bottom my lashes hide most of it. Whats weird is I can only wear it on the bottom! It looks horrible on the top for me(unless I use that gel eyeliner, for some reason it blends right in.) Plus mascara, I forgot that. I have long lashes but they go straight down!!! My sons long lashes curve right up. Where's the justice?
Also, all those secrets, that I thought my niece and I discovered? Sounds like everyone knows them!!! Here's how low I'll go, beat this, ever bought wet'n'wild? It's like a dollar for a pencil, haha? And then I'll spend $150 on my hair. Rediculous. Maybe thats why it gets done twice a year!
