DO NOT USE MAC MAKEUP PEOPLE!!!!

I CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!!!

My sis has used MAC since she knew what makeup was. She's 26 now and she's fine. It's probably just the way YOUR skin reacted to it.

What colors would probably look good on me? I know that it should depend on my skin tone. My skin is brown (like baked bread), and I have black eyes and hair. I want to look a little mature (I'm always mistaken for a teenager, which is not good for my job.) but NOT old.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm really not into makeup but I realized that I have to start using them (being a teacher). I don't know anything about color combinations and what colors suit me. So, can anybody please help?

I would go for brown mascara to match your skin tone and hair. You could curl your eyelashes to open your eyes up if you want.
What I do is line my eyes with brown eyeliner, then add a line of a brighter colour at the bottom outer edge. A little green or purple I think would look nice with your brown eyes, but buy a few colours and experiment.

Your skin looks really nice and clear so I would just use a concealer if you get any spots and skip foundation. If you go to a department store someone at the make up counters will be able to help you get the right tone for your skin.

Your lips look quite naturally red (jealous! :P) so I would just use a clear gloss, or a slightly darker lipstick.

Just remember to 'big up' one feature: either your eyes or lips. So if you use a dark lipstick go with plain eyes, or have a bright eyeliner and nude lips.

Hope this helps! :)

Don't let today's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

Makeup Forever HD Foundation.

This is the absolute best foundation I have ever used.  It's a little pricey at $40 USD, but it is so worth every penny.
