What color makeup should I wear with a pale sage green (minty green) dress???

I am in a wedding, wearing a pale sage green (minty) dress-I have brown hair %26amp; blue-gray eyes. What would be good colors to wear on my eyes and lips? I am also tan since it is summer. I normally don't wear a lot of make up so I don't want anything too bold. Any ideas?

Reply:last week my friend and i went for a wedding and she was wearing the same color, i was the one who applied make up for her, i mixed dark green with beige and brown, so it was a dark beige with a tint of green (more of a dark champagine color), and i used a glittery golden highlither on the lids, very pale brown lipstick... she looked wonderful and hope u will too!


Don't forget the volumizing mascara to widen ur eyes and to give u a sexier look ;)
Reply:this article has some great tips on skincare and makeup that will help you with what color you should use
Reply:Try a dusty pink color on the lid. Pick a medium color like a sage that's deeper than your dress or a pretty plum (not too red). Put it in the corner of your eye and smudge it about 1/2 way across your crease(don't go all the way across or it will close up your eye) Line with a dark green, plum, or charcoal liner. a light plum blush and a pretty plum lipstick- light or dark, you choose. The idea is that your dress is a "dusty" color, stay with colors that are muted for the best overall look. Don't use a bronzer as a blush. Bronzer is yellow toned. If you use a bronzer, put it where the sun hits and use the plum blush over it in the cheek area. A little goes a long way, but remember to wear your makeup bright enough to show for the pictures.
Reply:I cannot stress this enough - it does not matter what you are wearing on your body.. your make-up should be determined by your skin tone and eye color!!





Because you don't usually wear make-up stay simple. Use a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation. It is light as lotion but will make your face glow.





Because this "foundation" is relatively sheer, you may not need blush, unless you want it.. then buy a very light cream blush and apply it only to the apples of your cheeks. This is the big round part under your eyes when you smile.





As far as your eyes go, you may not need shadow because you are tan. Just buy a light gold shimmer (or off white pearl color). You can get the loose powder kind at walmart for about 88cents. Apply this only to just under your eyebrow and just by your tear duct. Curl your lashes and apply mascara.





Use a sheer lipgloss or just a good chapstick





Because you have blue/gray eyes, if you choose to wear eyeshadow it should be brown. This is what is complementary to your eye color.
Reply:light light green eyeliner and then light light pink shadow and normal mascara.





clear lip gloss no liner





very little blush
Reply:I would say keep it neutral. With a green dress, green eye shadow can be a little much. Maybe work with tans and darker browns with a little brown eyeliner and a pale tan lip stick or lip gloss.


Hope this helps and have fun at the wedding!
Reply:Whatever you do, don't match your eyeshadow to your dress...that's very "prom" looking...
Reply:Eyes – Deep matte earth tones like green, dark grey, beige and brown will make you look gorgeous.


Cheeks – Coral and plum are great and bronzing powder gently dusted over your cheeks, forehead and nose will give you a gorgeous sun-kissed glow.


Lashes – Brown/black or black is best.


Lips – Your skin tone is very versatile and if you’re a brunette you’ll look great in loads of shades of lippie from pink to red. Don’t dare scrimp on the lip gloss for a perfect pout.
Reply:stick with something green.
Reply:Blend darker green on the bottom lid and silver in the corner of the eye to make your blue-gray eyes pop. Choose eye makeup with a shimmer. It will brighten the look of your eyes. Blending these two colors together will give you the color you desire.
Reply:Wear champagne colored eyeshadow and go for a pink-ish beige colored lip (like a shade darker than your normal lip color so it looks natural). If you want to wear eyeliner I would suggest using brown eyeliner, then smudging it before putting on the champagne colored eyeshadow. If you need foundation, wear it, or else just do some blush on the apples of your cheeks. It'll look natural and pretty for the wedding. Have fun.
