I always do dramatic eyes. I am a slave to my black liquid liner! Occasionally I will accentuate my lips, but sometimes I feel like it is too much with both, so I will tone down the colors I use on my eyes in those cases.
LOL! What is your liquid liner of choice, Stephanie D?
Lips for work as I have to wear quite neutral eyes. I don’t do anything too crazy just a red or plum colour.
For a night out I like to make my eyes really dramatic, it’s a chance to play with all the eyeshadows I can’t use during the day! 🙂
I totally get that! I would definitely amp up the lips if I had to go subtle on the eyes.
The eyes!
me too =D
I have almond shape eyes; since the age of 16 I always have done dramatic eyes.
Me too, Mary!
I always try to choose colour that bring out my eyecolour.
Awesome 😀
I try to focus on bronzer, blush, and hiliter. I always use a bright vibrant POOF of colour on my cheeks. It makes my eyes pop. So I guess I focus on my skin, try to conceal well, good foundation, etc.
Awesome! What are your favorite blushers to add that poof of color?
I usually try to focus on flawless skin. My skin isn’t always going to be like this, so I’m trying to take advantage of it.
Yes, definitely take advantage of it now 😀
Definitely my eyes…I tend to do smokiness on eyes and a pinky nude on lips most of the time, but I have been adding color into my rotation!
Smokey eyes, yes, fun!
eyes! i’m addicted to dark smokey eyes and light&glossy lips :] and i have full lips so i dont want to add even more attention to them
I always end up emphasizing the eyes over everything else, too!
eyes because i have no other choice.
i have crappy skin and a very little mouth, but i have big brown eyes. so i draw the attention to my best feature lol!
I ditto this comment!! LOL
lol! Aww, I am sure that your other features are pretty, but you just don’t know it. I used to hate, hate, HATE my lips, but I’ve come to find out that they’re not so bad!
Hate your lips??? What about them? They’re perfect!
With having such a small face — can you say Beetlejuice? — I try to emphasize my eyes, but truly, everything is little on my face.
I feel like I have a huge face, if that is any consolation! lol
I don’t think too much about emphasizing (or de-emphasizing) a feature. I do like to play with eyes most of the time though. A MA once told me I didn’t really need eyeshadow at all because my eye shape was pretty. What a nice woman. Hehe.
Aww! Lucky you to have such a nice, natural eye shape 🙂
My eyes – which are a nice shade of greeny blue, but I also have lips that I get alot of compliments on! I’m not good with lipstick though…. 🙁
Ohh, sounds like you have a very nice eye color 🙂
Psh, what do you mean you’re not good with lipstick?
I tend to mess it up as SOON as I put it on!!!
I like to emphasize my eyes. People always say they’re nice, so I always line them(be it with liquid liner or kohl) and put on mascara.
That’s one of the reasons why I emphasize my eyes, too, Dee!
my eyes…are my best feature 🙂
This is what I think is mine, too 🙂
Big eyes, I try to make them look as big as possible or as dramatic as I can. I sometimes play up the lips. But for most of the time eyes are my favorite thing to emphasize.
Lucky you to have such big eyes, Bianca!
OH MAN TOUGH ONE REALLY!!I think on my EYES!I love to do smoky eyes(with tailed liner for sure) it cud be any colour and i always end up with a Red lips.Really i dont know y but whenever iam just bout to pick a colour its just has to be red or gorgeous pink.Lol D
Zzainy..
What are your favoriteee reds, Zainy?
EYES! mine are almond shaped and i always get compliments when i dress them up!
Ohh, nice, Dee! Lucky girl!
Definitely my eyes. My lips are large, luscious, and naturally pigmented; so I don’t need to do much with them. I love to play with eye color, so I emphasize them.
I also like playing with eye color 🙂 And like you, my lips are already kind of big!
while i don’t use much color on my eyes, i experiment a lot with my eyeliner skills to make them look bigger. it also gives the illusion of naturally bigger eyes, without looking like i put on too much make up. 😀
Oh, fun! Do you play around with a lot of different shapes with liner?
Definitely the eyes!
I’m with you, Lauren!
I like to go for big eyes!
Me too, Lydia!
I’m blessed and thankful to have long lashes, so I can’t live without mascara to emphasize them.
Oh yes, you are one lucky gal!
I already have big eyes and lips, so I used to emphasize lips all the time, since I was afraid of colors other than neutrals on the eye- plus is was just easier and faster. Now that I’ve had a breakthrough with that fear, I just alternate between them.
This makes me want to break out my bolder lip colors!
Enhancing my eyes because my lashes are short and straight, eyes are small and tired… they just don’t look pretty without the help. What a difference eye makeup makes! I look awake and alive. LOL . This includes the eyebrows since they’re sparse. Especially my right brow where I had minor surgery on awhile ago. If there was one thing I need to do, the brows is my priority. I wish mine were ‘thicker’ like yours … Meaning, my brow hairs are fine.
