Picture this girl: What you notice first is her bright pink shimmering lip gloss, followed quickly by frosted blue eye shadow and thick false lashes. Is she your choice for the executive sales position? How about the next VJ on MTV?

Regardless of how great you think that twinkling emerald eye shadow looks, others may be getting a very different vibe when you walk into the room. So what does your makeup say about you? Here are a few examples of classic looks and the messages they send. You may be happy to stay where you are, or want to jump from your current look into another once you find out what signals your makeup may be sending. Of course you can be the exception and make any of these looks say, “I’m me and I love it!”

Fresh Faced

You’re a minimalist when it comes to color, but not skin care. Your skin glows with natural highlights accentuated by soft lid color ranging from white to apricot to a hint of hazelnut. You line your lashes with light brown shadows and your mascara is barely-there. Your lips are nourished and glossed in clear or shimmering nude shades. Your message: You’re gentle and focused on others. You’re also as happy outside as in.

Classic Beauty

You’re determined, but not overbearing. You have an inner confidence and trust-ability that makes you a likeable girl. Your look is gold and earth tones that accentuate the crease of your eyes and blend with tawny or toffee lip colors for a wide-open-to-the-world appearance. Thin liner and modest mascara pull together your look.

Trendy

Your look says, “Dare me.” Your vibrant spirit melds with modern and classic colors to exemplify your personality. This girl lines her top and bottom lashes with a blend of light violet and cotton candy pink. Accented with a midtone cocoa in the crease and lined with sable, her eyes captivate your imagination. Her lip color is garnet with raspberry liner.

Dreamer

You’re all about flowing skirts and ruffles in a breeze. Your bohemian look says that you’ve been places and have stories to tell. Yours is one of the only looks truly based on your sculpted cheeks that are bathed in soft spice colors. Your eyes are a perfect blend of light coppers and browns. Your smile is lined in chocolate with peach gloss covering apricot lipstick.

Bright Eyes

You can’t stop smiling or seeing the better side of life. You’re the one we tell our problems to. Your look is all shimmer and shine. Your eyes are a shimmering blend of dessert hues (especially at the lash lines) with little or no accent shade. Your cheeks are flushed with darker, matte dessert tones and your lips glisten in gingerbread lipstick with creamy golden beige gloss.

Intrigue

Your look is bold. Your style is big adventure. Risk taking is nothing new to you. Your look is jewel toned from your lids to your lips. Onyx shadow lines defines you eyes at the lashline and corner crease. Gold and navy mix to further intensify your look. Your lips are as set in their ways as you are with berry liner and lipstick.
