Make up Question!!! and help?

First, with chestnut hair you are not a cool skin tone. You are a warm. So you should go for neutrals and warms. Stay away from blues, grays, pinks, berries, etc. . . Second, it's not clear what you want. If you're looking for makeup advice, with the info you've given about all anyone can really tell you is what color families to look for.



For general application, if you need one use a foundation, apply concealer a shade lighter, choose a blush - for warm skin tones like yours browns/neutrals are hot right now. For eyes, if you like a made up look, put a neutral shade all over your eye lid, then a deeper shade (brownish) on the lower half of you lid and blend up to the outside corner. Line the entire top lid as close to the eyelashes as possible with a black or deep brown liner, line the lower lid, but only the outer 2/3 ; apply a black or black brown mascara. For a more natural look, apply the neutral shadow to the entire eyelid, the darker shade just in the crease. Skip the liner and just apply the mascara. A very light shade or highligheter in the inner corner and along the brow bone above the outer corner of the eye with give you a more youthful, energetic look. Brown tones in eye makeup will really make your green eyes pop. Don't worry about your glasses, they shouldn't effect the way you apply makeup.



You can finish with a light brushing of a mineral veil or transparent powder - they help bounce the light around to give you a sort of air brushed look.



For lips, go with browns, cinnamons, burgundies.



The products you choose really depend on your price point. Grocery store brands are good. You'll notice more luxurious feel to brands like Avon, Mary Kay and lower end department store brands. The high end department store and boutique brands aren't always worth the money. You might want to try them out first by purchasing a skin care or lip product while they are offering a free gift with purchase. Generally, they are all pretty interchangeable as far as color goes, but you want to keep looking until you find a foundation, concealer and powder that really matches your skin.

Green eyeshadow will work good on you, or try HIP pigment shadows by L'Oreal since they will stand out more behind your black glasses.

Purple or plum eyeshadow, black eyeliner and mascara, a soft bronzy blush and a soft light-toned lip color.
