Can anyone suggest a daytime look for fall showcasing berry lips. I am a 40-ish brunette, light skinned and have hazel eyes.

Thanks JenW! You are a wiz!! What about foundation colors for me? I have light skin, some freckles, cool pink undertones. I am 44 years old and have an oily Tzone but drier cheeks. I am thinking original or medium in Ebony. I do have some broken capillaries on my cheeks, so I think I may have to up the coverage to medium but I don't want it to look cakey. What do you think?

Ebony will be for you....if you find that you need a little more pink, you might need to add a smidge of Peach, and Peach is very dark...

Start with Ebony at a 1 scoop color to 7 Ivory. You may find that medium coverage will suit you just fine. Karen has been very conscious of not making the foundation look cakey, and did her best to formulate around it when adding the heavier coverage formulas to the line.... Medium Coverage is definitely worth a sample.
