i know nothing about makeup... help

i don't wear makeup. not because i don't like it... it's because i am nothing but lazy.

i'm going to have my makeup done for this weekend.

i have red hair
i will be wearing a red and black dress
i have hazel eyes
i have hooded eyelids

i was thinking of going with a smokey eye and a nude lip.

my question is...
i've read a lot that purple eye shadow makes hazel eyes look good.

would some kind of purple into the smokey eye work? or should i stick with blacks and dark grays?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes!
I'm makeup challenged as well, but i have hazel eyes and ALWAYS wear some sort of dark purple. When i've had a smokey eye done, its usually been dark eggplant/burgandy purples and it looks good

def post pics when you get it done!

I have red hair and hazel eyes and purple really makes the green in them pop. Last time I had my make-up done was my TTD shoot and it looked phenomenal.

ETA: Here's some pics from it. Many years younger and many pounds lighter. Chat Icon

I have brownish auburn hair and green eyes and I’ve had so many makeup artists put purple on me and I hate it. I don’t know if it’s my skin tone or what but it’s not a good look on me.

But it looks gorgeous on Momma so if your hair is closer to her color I would give it a try! The makeup artist should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Lovemore did my wedding pics. I have never before or since looked as good as I do in their pics.
