I can usually wear dark colors quite well but If I try to go light, it's a disaster. I can't wear anything blue on my eyes as in shadows or liners. I also cannot pull off red or black lipstick.

Hot pink, magenta, and lilac purple look truly awful on me. I think those shades are meant for Latinas, Asian women, and ladies of colour..

I can't do bright red lipstick, or anything too dark because my lips are so big, it just looks weird.

On my eyes, I can't wear any shade of pink or anything resembling pink. Browns magnify the dark circles under my eyes.

You know, I really can't think of one atleast colors on my eyes....

I can't wear pink pastel lip anything. Other then that, I can't really think of anything.

There aren't any colors I can't use on my eyes. There are certain colors I can't wear in certain ways on my eyes. For example, I can't wear red eyeliner under the eye, but I can on the top lid, or as eyeshadow, I won't wear black eyeshadow, just eyeliner and shadow liner, etc., but I can find some way to make any color work with blending.

For lipsticks, I can't wear clown red, bright orange, bright pink, or pastel purplish pink. Anything else is fine.

Are we having a problem with Chris wearing your makeup again?

I look bad in blues--clothing and makeup. They wash me out.

I had my colors done years ago-- I was/am Winter.

So unless I'm tan, cooler or neutral colors are best on me.

Probably from my Slavic descent, have a tinge of olive in my skin.

Don't think there are any specific colors that I flat out can't wear. Any cheap powder shadow that's more talc than pigment looks chalky & ashy on me. And I don't like any orange-y lip color.

Posted

Any shade of yellow, orange, certain shades of blue & most shades of red.

I can pretty much wear any color. I don't like redlipstick though. To me its too bright and looks clownish. Also ofcourse some shades look better than others. I really like going for that smoky eye look with silver and black shadow and I wear shades of light green alot.

I'm with you on that one

I like hot pink but not a huge fan of pastel pink.

Posted

Blue, purple, reddish browns. They all make me look like i've been punched in the eye. On eyes, ive only successfully worn black, white, or greys.

I can wear any shade of makeup that I want and still make it look fabulous...BUT...

I hate the color pink and would never ever wear it. It "looks good on me", but that's coming from people that like pink. I hate white and blue as colors, but sometimes as accents in my makeup they work. I wear blue lipstick sometimes, looks totally hott and undead. I've used white as a base for my eyeshadow a gazillion times and makes the black eyeliner look blacker while it makes my eyes look brighter.

Fuck, I even rock the yellow, which is a hard color to wear. I look really good in orange too, but I don't really wear orange too often, I have orange eyeshadow and lipstick that I wear sometimes.

Day-glo looks awesome on me and I'm a classic for being able to wear red lipstick. I even make black lipstick look sexy and natural instead of looking like some junior high kid that's watched The Crow one too many times.

So with that said, I guess nothing is off limits to me. I just don't like earth tones, pastels, and pink in general, so I choose not to wear them for the most part.

I don't think black lipstick looks good on anyone unless you're trying to be a skeleton for halloween.

I have the same problem with blues tho. I have blue eyes, and people are like oh blue makes ur eyes pop, blah blah blah. Really, NO. I just feel like a french whore. I only use blues when I wear an outfit that dictates blue eye shadow and even then it has to be something extreme like a club outfit.

And I can't wear anything but natural looking lipstick. Again with looking too painted up.

I could totally do that. All decked out in some wild fetish outfit... I'd totally do that. I do PLASTERED silver glitter over my whole eyelids quite a lot when I do really wild risque burlesque outfits. My show makeup is always totally over the top so it'll show up in crappy lighting for pictures and video. Everytime I haven't worried too much about makeup for a show, I always regret it.

I went to the local Walgreen's earlier today. Got rung up by an Asian girl who was wearing - the closest I can get to describing the color is "coral" - eyeshadow. She didn't apply it to the whole eyelid, just kinda a rectangular section in the middle. Sounds idiotic, but it was stunning.

Then you can probably pull off some of these looks:

You might wanna ff to the 00:28 mark and start there.

Pastels, except yellow and purple, those I can pull off. I also can't wear orange or peach. They look weird with my skin tone.
