    Keep the colors fairly natural...sometime it's good to brighten things up with a lavender, melon/peach, or light blue (all depending on the color of your eyes, of course). Also, with colors you never want to go overboard. Keep it light, or you'll look like a clown.

    I favor mocha eyeliner with dark brown mascara and eye-shadow, rose-colored blush and lip-gloss with a slight tint. This is all good for a slightly-tanned complexion, brown hair and brown eyes. Don't use black eyeliner or mascara if you have brown eyes--it took me awhile to learn that dark brown makes them pop more while black dulls them.

    natural but dark would be for a dramatic effect. Certain colors bring out the color of your eyes.If your makeup is natural people wont really notice you have that much makeup on. People dont care if you wear makeup. If your eyes are brown you should wear pinks, purples, and brown. Go to this link its from the Almay website it will tell you what eyeshadow colors you should wear with your eye color.

    there are three factors: skin color, desired image, and occasion.

    If you have tan skin, then dark makeup may look decent.

    If you want a dramatic look, or a bold look, then the dark makeup may be the thing for u!

    Fancy or Fun?

    Natural Makeup is always the most widely acceptable, but darker makeup can be fun and flashy too!! so mix it up if u think u can handle the excitement and flare, but be careful not to go hooker!!

    natural makeup is the best for everyday but go ahead and spice it up if you are going out. by the way people do not care what you do as long as you don't look like a fool. if you want to experiment with different colors do it at home first if it looks good were it.

    Natural is best!

    If you are just hanging out and not doing anything special, natural is the better way to go! YOu also don't have to spend 40 minutes in front of the mirror doing make-up every day!

    If it is a special occasion, like prom, a wedding, darker make-up is ok!

    Natural definitely because i have had so many guys come up to me and say that they like light natural makeup. Makeup that is to dark makes you look like a hooker or clown. True Beauty is your natural face. It is better to have natural light colors instead of dark colors.

    I like makeup and I think women should wear it whenever possible - not a lot, and definitely natural, neutral shades only - but enough to bring out your best features.

    We wear make up to emphasize our beauty and to add color to our face. what a girl must never do is to let the make up take the attention... meaning dont overwhelm your face with make up, use it lightly and smartly to emphasize your beauty. the color depends on what you are wearing and where you are going. For casual occasions use light colors, if you are dark skinned, avoid the bloody red color, it only works for white skin. for parties at night like bow and tie formal parties use dark but neutral color. If you are out for a club night out well use the gaudy colors like purple, and the likes. For more info, consult fashion magazines.

    Natural is best. You don't want to walk around looking like a clown.
