Your Face
~the right foundation for your skin type~
Every single suggested foundation and concealer is under $10 most places, including your friendly neighborhood wal-mart!

Oily or combination skin
For oily skin, be sure to buy a foundation that is oil-free, non-codemogenic, or says that it 'won't clog pores'. it's an extra bonus if the foundation has a coordinating pressed powder, so you can stay shine-free all day.

a recommended foundation (and one that I personally use) is 'Pure.makeup' by Maybelline. It has a coordinating liquid, pressed powder, and concealer wand. If you want a little better coverage, try 'Trublend' by Covergirl. It comes in a liquid and pressed powder.

Dry or normal skin
For dry skin, you need a foundation that won't dry your skin. Try a foundation like 'Aquasmooth' from Covergirl. It comes in a convenient compact, and transforms from a cream to a liquid to a powder. And of course, it's oil-free and has a built-in sunscreen.

Your Eyes
They're the most expressive part of our face, but most of us aren't doing enough (or are doing the WRONG things) to make them pop.

Hazel eyes
Try mascara in shades like 'blackest black' or 'very black'. For eyeshadow, go for shades of light brown ('tan' or 'nude'), medium brown ('toffee' or 'chocolate'), and rose ('soft pink' or 'blushing'). As for eyeliner, black is the way to go.
     You can buy all of these products in the perfect shade with 'Bring out the Hazel' by Almay.

Blue eyes
For mascara, you should wear brown to really make your eyes stand out. Same goes for eyeliner - brown is best. this concept carries over into eyeshadow, where you should wear shades of light blue, medium blue and brown.

Green eyes
For green eyes, eyeshadow in vibrant shades of light green, dark green and purple to make your eyes stand out. You should buy mascara and eyeliner in a purple-brown color. Look for colors like 'raisin'

Brown eyes
It may sound surprising, but for brown eyes get mascara and eyeliner in shades of purple. As for eyeshadow, look for shades of light brown, medium brown, and purple.
