Someone who knows about makeup?!!!?

So my boyfriend of 2 years informed me that he would like it if i wore a little less makeup and just be myself. This is going to be a drastic change for me b/c ive always been the type of person to be very skilled at doing makeup and I was going to go to school to do that. It's not that I wear the makeup to hide something or impress anyone, I just like to experiment new makeup ideas on myself, so my makeup was never sloppy or overdone. I just have very large green/ blue eyes and very VERY naturally long eyelashes and I wanted to come up with some new natural eye makeup tips that still look beautiful but just look like I have less on... If anyone has some good natural eye makeup tips to make the sleepy eye look go away and have something still beautiful.... Please share :)
