Q: Makeup- Girls Help Me Please

Okay this is corny, but I have a serious question. Now, you all know how britney spears, christina and all of the famous people now wear their eyemakup? I believe the trend is called "cat eyes" okay, my question is how in the hell do you apply makeup like that? I mean, when I was younger and learned how to do my makeup it was very simple and I have been doing it the same for like 13 years. Well, I would really like to try the new look, but I have no idea how to do it. Is there any way someone can explain it to me, or maybe find me a close up picture of it, so I can try to copy it? I know this is silly, but I am serious. I don't know how to do it and I want to try.
It is like my hair. I have had it cut like jennifer anistons and like every other cut I have ever liked (long though, I will not cut my hair off!) and I can never get it to look right. I mean it is layered, but I cannot get my layers to look separated from the other ones, but look full. I don't know if that made sense, I am not good at explaining things. Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks girls!

I looked at those links, and I guess they are pretty good, but to detailed fo me. I do my makeup everyday, and unless I am goig out I use the same colors. I put a powder base on my whole eyelid, on that matches my skintone. I can use my foundation b/c I only use powder founations. Then I put a shimmery gold on top of my eyelid, and I stop at the crease. Above the crease I put a dark silent kind of brown, and when I put it on, I make the applicator go out and up, if you can understand that. That is where the cat comes in. And then I take the same shimmery gold and put it lightly on my brow bone. Then I take an eyeliner that is the same color as the shimmery gold, and line the inner corner of my bottom eyelid. Then I take a black eyeliner and line the outer corner of my top lid, and go out and up like before. Then I take a clean finger and smudge both eyeliners, and the dark brown. Okay this sound difficult but it is really not, if I can find a pic i'll show.

And as for your hair, well my hair in naturally curly so most of the time, like in all of the pics that I post , I straighten it with a flat iron. And my hair also has natural layers. If you want it like jennifer's you basically want it to be bone straight right? Well to do that get a ceramic flat iron, and some flat iron spray like charles worthigton's. Part your hair (it has to be parted so that it is only one layer), spray on the cw then take the flat iron and put it on the root of your hair, and kind of bring it out like you are curling it and then go straight down. You may need to go over the ends again to get it really straight. And when you are done take a wide toothed comb and comb it all down. If you can understand my directions it should come out right.

Thanks girls, I will look at those sites in just a minute liz.

I can get my hair straight just fine. I do have a flat iron. But, I cannot get my layers to "clump together" so to speak. I cannot think of how to explain it. If I can think of it I will type it. Laughing

it is hard to explain how to apply in words, but thank you and I will try Smile

I think you should just go to a makeup counter at the mall or wherever and get them to show you how to do it. Most of them really know their stuff! What kinda makeup do ya'll use? Lately I have been in love with presciptives...If you havent tried it...You should!

I use all kinds of makeup. My foundation is mary kay, cause it is the only kind that doesn't make me break out. Blush-mary kay, eyeliner-mary kate and ashley (liquid), eyeshadow-covergirl, lipstick-all different kinds, mascara-wet n' wild......I think that is it.
I wear makeup everyday and have since I was like 13. It only takes me 3-5 minutes to apply everything, so it is no big deal and I feel funny without it. But I wanted to know how to do the cat eyes for when I go out or just feel like doing something different.

Thank you so much girls for your input and those pics and sites. I am going to try tonight and I will let you know how it goes! It should be interesting!
