I want my makeup to look natural, but noticable. Any ideas? Right now I use a pencil eye liner in dark blue under my eyes. I use one swipe of black mascara on my top lashes. I use a light brown/gold color eye shadow on my lids, and a shade darker brown on the crease of my eyelids. I sometimes use a natural color lipstick or gloss.
How can I change it up? I do the same thing every day for everything. I'd love any ideas or brands you recommend!

I might be able to give you some recommendations to try, but before I do that, do you mind if I ask you the colour of your eyes, skin and hair?

Different styles of makeup complement different complexions.

My eyes are kind of green/gray. My hair is sort of dark/golden blonde. During summer it gets lighter, and during winter it's a little darker.
My skin is lighter, but I'm not pale. I have a light/medium tan.

I would, instead of using the dark blue under your eyes, use a dark brown colour on the tops, and a light streak on the bottom, with mascara on the top. You could also try a light eye shadow that matches your skin, but it'll give it a bit of shine while still looking pretty natural. If you want colours, dark shades of eye shadow usually compliment green eyes and bring out the colour.

As for your lips, you could try some pigmented gloss as oppose to clear, maybe in some light coral pink colours, but bright lipsticks are definitely not the "natural look".
