QUESTION: I've been wearing the same makeup (black mascara, dark brown eye pencil, and beige lipstick) for years and think it's time for something new. I have brown eyes and olive skin. For example, what can I add to these products to quickly create a more festive look?
ANSWER: "If you've been sticking with the same makeup routine for years, switching things up can be incredibly refreshing. With brown eyes and olive skin, the options are endless.
Beautiful eyeshadow shades like gray and lilac complement you perfectly. A green-gold hue makes brown eyes appear optically lighter, especially highlighting any lighter specks in your iris. Experiment with a black gold, midnight blue, or purple eyeliner for a captivating gaze.
Skip the beige lipstick—it's not always the most flattering on olive skin tones. Opt for salmon, a warm pink with subtle gold shimmer, or in winter, a warm red with a light pink undertone for a stunning effect.
Black mascara adds that essential finishing touch, so stick with it.
