Can someone help me with what colors I should pick?

    I don't know what I should do. I am a cheap person, so most of my makeup comes from drugstores, and general stores.

    I have olive skin (not me, but it's the color closest to mine)

    I have Hazel Eyes

    I have these kind of eye brows, and brown eyebrow color:

    I generally don't wear lipstick, only colored lip gloss.

    I also have short boyish bleached blonde hair. I do it like this normally:

    Any Ideas?

    I just did an all drugstore makeup look for a request on my website. I listed what I used and how I applied the eye shadow step by step with pictures:

    If you want to bring out the green in your eyes, I would try purple eye shadows.

    I really recommend getting the Coastal Scents 88 palette if you don't want to spend a lot of money for a wide range of colors with good quality:

    I have several looks on my website using that palette.

    Good luck!

    I'm a really big fan of Almay. You can get it at any Wal-Mart or Target, and they have special eye-shadow pallets for each eye color.
    In general though, I'd say a dark brown blending into a bronze would be nice- with a touch of some purpley shade starting at the inside corner and blending into the middle, when you're feelin' fancy/adventurous (just a streak would do). Maybe I can get a picture of what I'm talkin' about to ya?
    But browns are usually pretty universal and nice for any occasion.

    To be on the safe side, I'd stick to plums, browns, and greens. To complement the hazel, use plum or green, and to complement your skin tone, use browns. You can also blend all the colors together to create a unique look...oh, and whatever you do, do NOT use reds or yellows. On special occasions, use a grayish bluish color. Hope I helped...;)
