Make up starter? please help?

okay, firstly, what colour eyes do you have, and do you want to emphasize that? I have green eyes, and I find that bronze looks great with my eye colour. Blue eyes look good with warm rust tones, Brown with blues. If you have a dark skin tone, you can get away with more vibrant, metallic colours, but if you're pale, it can look kind of weird. I don't use MAC ever, so I dont know about the lipstick, but I'd recommend a sheer red gloss. this always shows and isnt harsh like a red lipstick, and be pretty light looking on your face
