dark eyeshadow only looks good if it either golden brown or brown but you still have to bled it in with your skin so it isnt too obvious! many people dont wanna admit it but the most romantic best looking makeup is natural looking. no guy wants to wonder if youll still be pretty the next morning without your clown printed on! lolz
