QUESTION: I've been wearing the same makeup (black mascara, dark brown eye pencil and beige lipstick) for years and think it's time for something new. I have brown eyes and olive skin. For example, what can I add to these products so that I can quickly create a more festive make-up?

ANSWER: “If you wear the same makeup for a long time, it can indeed be refreshing to try something different. With brown eyes and olive skin the options are endless

Beautiful eyeshadow colors with you are gray and lilac. With a green-gold color, brown eyes become optically slightly lighter † If you have lighter specks in your iris, they will stand out more. Also try a black gold, midnight blue or purple eye pencil † You will see that you create a very exciting glance with this.

I would leave out both lipsticks; with an olive-colored skin, this does not always look flattering. A salmon-colored or a warm pink lipstick with a subtle gold speck you will look better. In winter, a warm red color with a light pink undertone is also very nice on the lips.

Black mascara I always find that I give that little bit extra, so I would certainly not deviate from this.”
