I am unable to DIY. I have no skill or patience for it. Despite that, my cheap ways have led me to DIY my makeup. I haven’t tried anything yet because I have yet to find a picture of what I want! I’ve tried everywhere - Brides Mag, Modern Bride, The Knot…

The Knot gave me a rundown of makeup tips for Latinas (I’m half).

Finding Foundation
Latina women often have yellow-orange undertones to their complexion. For the most even coverage, look for yellow-orange foundations and tinted moisturizer to match your skin tone. If your skin has a slightly green cast in the winter — a common frustration for Latinas — a deep bronzing powder will give you a warm, tanned look. Don’t forget to apply a pop of color on the apples of your cheeks. Remember that rosy colors — not oranges — work best in counteracting green.

Choosing Your Colors
Think about applying a shot of bright color somewhere on your face, but not everywhere. Avoid fuchsias and jewel tones, and keep things smoky with deep, rich hues — shades in the wine, plum, deep pink, and rose families are your best options for cheeks and lips. Play up your eyes with colors in the sable, cocoa, and mahogany families.
Makeup, Then KissThe lips are the obvious place to go for glamour. Many Hispanic women naturally have a beautiful dark color to their lips, so deep lipsticks look quite lovely. You can also play with the finish: Go for a little more sparkle by layering a shimmer or gloss on top of a matte lip color. And while softer lipstick tones will also look great on you, it’s best to avoid brights, like oranges, and corals.

They also have makeup tips for Asians here and African-Americans here.

Well, that is slightly helpful, but I don’t have a beautiful dark color to my lips. In fact, my lips are super pale all the time. Drives me crazy. Anyway, I’m looking for a natural look, with slightly more defined eyes, a smoky look with maybe a rose lipstick.

Can you guys help me find good made up face pictures?
