    I would suggest wearing pink lipstick, and make your eyes the focus. You put a thick line of black kohl eyeliner on your top lid only and make sure it has the little cat eye thing at the end. [Think Marilyn Monroe]. False eyelashes are great too. For the bottom part of your eye I would use eyeliner and then smudge it to make it smokey. =)
