How to Makeup Tips for Blue Eyes and Dark Hair
Using certain colors and types of makeup can really make your blue eyes shine. If you have dark hair, your eyes are already accentuated, but the right makeup can add shine to your natural beauty. Don't use a heavy hand when applying makeup; less is generally more when all you are doing is playing up your natural assets.
Eyes:
For blue eyes, the rule of thumb is to use shadow colors opposite blue on the color wheel. These include browns, golds and oranges. Warm tones such as rose and lavender work, too. You can use blue shadow, but only if the tone is darker or lighter than your natural eye color. You don't want to dull your blue eyes by matching them to your shadow. Use brown liner and either brown or black mascara to complete the look.
Cheers:
One makeup rule is to either do a strong lip color with natural eyes, or softer lips with bolder eyes. Placing emphasis on one feature at a time won't overwhelm your features. If you want to play up your eyes with heavy lashes or liner, stick to a natural pink or neutral toned gloss for your lips. Blue-eyed women look fabulous with red lipstick, but be careful to tone down your eyes with brown shadow or simply brown liner and mascara for a nice contrast.

How To Makeup Tips for Dark Hair & Fair Skin
Learning how to apply makeup when you are dark-haired and fair-skinned
is a lot easier than you might think. A natural creamy complexion
contrasted by raven hair allows you to play with your cosmetics to
create different looks for different occasions. Playing up your eyes,
cheekbones or lips, will give you the opportunity to change your look
for any style you feel like showcasing that day.
Eyes
The best eye makeup tips for dark hair and fair skin have to do with hue choices and depend on the color of your peepers. Try contrasting brown eyes with green, blue eyes with brown and green eyes with blue for drama. Another trick is to match whatever "specks" of other hues can be seen in your eyes. For example, golden shadow will showcase brown eyes with a hint of gold. The rule of thumb is the darker the shadow and lining, the more sultry your eyes will look. Use an eyeliner along your lids first, then apply eyeshadow along the same line, blending it slightly upwards. For a more wide-eyed innocent appearance, cover your whole top lid with a lighter brighter shadow and thinly line just above your lashes. Finish up with a couple coats of mascara for both looks.
Cheeks
The best makeup tips for dark hair and fair skin to emphasize your cheekbones is to choose a hue that is closest to your complexion tone and sweep it just on the apple of your cheeks. Stick with a more neutral hue and avoid rosier colors if you have a reddish undertone. A rosier blush will help minimize yellowish colors, especially if your skin is more yellowish in tint. A small sweep of blush up to the hairline of a lighter bronzed or even white hue just underneath your bone will create a shadow making the apples of your cheekbones appear more prominent.
Lips
For lips, the best makeup tips for dark hair and fair skin consists of contrasting what you do to your eyes. Think 1940s movie stars for a sultry look and use a plumper to line your lips just a little above the natural line. Fill it in with a smoky deep burgundy or red to play off of your creamy white skin. For a more natural "girls next door" look, line your lips in a hue closer to your natural color and finish it off with a tinted gloss.
Skin Care
Protecting your complexion is the most important step for dark hair and fair skinned beauties. All the cosmetics in the world cannot completely cover or repair damage from the sun and other elements. A daily sunscreen is important as your combination tends to burn easier than others. You are blessed with a naturally creamy, exotic appearance so either embrace your paleness or use a self-tanning lotion if you desire a tanned appearance. This is in addition to your regular skin care routine. Learning how to take care of your beauty assets is just as important as learning how to apply makeup how to apply makeup when you are dark haired and fair skinned.

Adele Without Makeup | Adele No Makeup
Adele has made many strides in music – all the while giving a two-fingered salute to conventional standards
and to Karl Lagerfeld, who, incidentally, emerged from his mother’s
womb wearing sunglasses. Sometimes Adele abstains from using those same
two fingers to dab on a little foundation.
In a look
reminiscent of elderly, winter-ready babushkas often found dotted around
Russia, the first photo sees Adele without makeup and looking even
paler than usual. Looking at her right hand here, she may be looking for
her own pulse actually.
The blemish-free ‘Chasing Pavements’ songstress appears to be in the middle of a phone call, and my guess is that she isn’t chatting to Karl Lagerfeld to get style and makeup tips.
Photo number two captures a visibly tired-looking (looks like an early morning) Adele foregoing makeup yet again, and loitering near the check-in desks at an airport. What a cool girl – looking down-to-earth while about to take flight.

How to Black Eyeliner Makeup Tips
Few makeup products are as versatile as black eyeliner. Depending on how
you apply this cosmetic bag staple, you can create cool rock-chick
looks, old Hollywood cat eyes, or just a subtle work or weekend style.
Black eyeliner adds definition and brightness to the eyes, or it can
create a smoky gaze when smudged and layered with shadow. Start
experimenting with different types of liners and methods of application
for your most gorgeous glance yet.
Choosing the Right Liner
Black pencil eyeliners provide the most precision and are easy to control--when you use a pencil eyeliner you're essentially "drawing" the way you would on paper, and most of us are familiar with that motion. Pencil eyeliners are good for well-defined lines and basic eyeliner looks.
Black cream eyeliners were once nearly exclusively in the domain of professional makeup artists, but today several drugstore brands offer cream or gel liner formulations. With their richer texture, cream formulas can be "painted" on and actually used to cover the entire lid in the place of shadow. Because they blend and smudge well, black cream liners are ideal for smoky eyes or messy rock-chick looks. If you don't want any smudging or are less experienced with eyeliner, creams may not be your best choice.
Liquid liners are often used to create the retro "cat eye" look. The angled pen used to apply most liquid liners is great for flicking the line out the end and varying the width of the line over lid. Liquid eye liner has a wetter, shinier look to it even after it's dried.
Eyeliner Styles.
Black eyeliner adds definition and brightness to the eyes.
For a natural look, lift up your eyelid and hold the skin taut. Then trace a very fine black line along the inner lid, below your lashes. This will make your eyes pop and your lashes look fuller without it seeming like you're wearing any make-up.
For a dramatic look, smudge black eyeliner on with your fingers or a cotton swab.
If your eyes are on the small side, avoid lining both top and bottom lids in black--this can make the eyes look smaller. Line just the bottom lash lines. If you do line the top lashes, use a lighter color, like gray, on top with black on the bottom.
Applying Liner
If your hand tends to get unsteady while you apply liner, rest your elbow on a table.
Try applying black eyeshadow over the top of black liner. Dip a small, angled shadow brush into matte black shadow and carefully trace over top of the liner. This will help the line last throughout the day and make it look more intense.
If you're using a pencil, make sure it's sharp before you apply the liner. If you're using a cream liner, wipe the applicator brush clean before dipping it back into the pot to prevent any dry clumps of liner or stiff bristles from messing up your look.
