Assvice please

Hi Ladies,

Some thoughts, advice etc from you please.

I am essentially a very basic woman. I don't wear makeup often, and most the time I throw my hair back into a ponytail, add some lip ice and off we go. Lately, I suppose having a baby will do this to you, I have been wanting to put more effort into my appearance. Specifically, I'd like to start applying makeup, eye shadow to be exact. But, as self critical as I am, I can't even decide what shape my eyes are in order to correctly apply the damned stuff. So here is a picture with different eye shapes, and a picture of me at yet another family/friends shoot, without any makeup. Yes I know, every photographers absolute nightmare! What shape do you think I have.







The other involves my hair.

I am a natural blond. A while back some one suggested I colour my hair dark brown, as it would bring out my blue eyes. I did, and I loved it, love it. Lately, I have been thinking of going back to blond. The problem is that if I do I will have to walk around with orange hair for a while, because the colour stripper will leave a tint of the current colours undertone. Add to this the damage that colour stripper does to your hair and I'm not so sure.

Please excuse the photo, it was a chocolate fountain, it was behind me for the entire duration of the wedding smelling like chocolaty goodness, and when it was time to tuck in, I did just that.

You can see a brunette pic above.

So what do you think?

Dammit - YOU WITH NO MAKE-UP = HOT!!!

I wish I looked like that! Yu have one lucky husband! WOW!

Anyway - I am useless when it comes to these things, so I am taking a wild guess. I think (after staring for minutes) that you have the Almond ones? Top Right? You have DAMN nice eyebrows by the way! They are shaped so nicely! NO I AM NT HITTING ON YOU MY FRIEND, just mentioning! :-)

Hair - Ok, is it you in he middle? I cant even tell with the major difference? I think the blond is damn nice! The brunette is also nice as that is how I "got to know you". But a change is always good so go for it! I say - go blonde!

Hope you can reach a dicision! Glad im not you!

GOOD LUCK and keep us posted ok!

Hi Nix

I agree - definately the almond shape eyes and btw you look absolutely stunning without make-up!!! Why don't you try a couple of blonde highlights first? Surely that won't cause too much damage?

Good luck on your decision - either way Im sure you'le look gorgeous

Well re make-up, I'd say the best is to try out the different looks and see what you like best. I looove my make-up, have not gone a single day without it and I mean day 1 post c/section included! LOL! I am also a blonde, and although I love your dark look to, I'd say go for blond!

I agree with the almond eye shape, but you really are a natural beauty so I wouldn't put to much make up on - I think it'll hide you're natural looks. You're very lucky! May use a VERY light offwhite/peach colour and just apply it to your brown bone, blend it nicely with a light brown and then line your top lid with a liquid liner! You've got such nice colour eyes' you can use a brown to enhance the blue or even a lavendar (but a very soft lavendar) to bring out the violet... if you want a less fuss look - I think you'd actually just look stunning lining your top lid right next to the lashes with a liquid liner and then curling your eyelashes and putting on a good quality mascara and some lipgloss - try the mabelline shinylicious in caramella...

As for your hair, I think the brown looks stunning but you could always spice it up a little with some nice highlights?
