Favorite Combinations Early 2010

Post by JenW » Thu Jan 21, 2010 2:54 pm

It has been a while since we did a colletive posting of our favorite combos. That information is helpful for everyone looking for just the right color. I am much better at giving advice for those with skintones closer to my own, and am excited to see what everyone posts.

1. Your coloring (warm/cool/neutral) and depth (fair, light, medium, tan, deep)
2. Other things about you that might be helpful. (hair color/features/eye color)
3. Let us know what you like!

For me:
1.neutral (Olive), light
2.dark hair and features, brown eyes, fairly pigmented lips
3.Right now my go to blushes are Satisfied and Embrace. My current favorite highlighter is Papyrus. My favorite finisher is Date Bait. Lippies: Fig Leaf, Cultured, Bobbi, Black Dahlia, Nectar, Maiden.

For a full look: Blush Embrace, Lips Fig Leaf, eyes Heather on the lid, Papyrus highlight, Amethyst Cream Liner, Slate in the outer V.

I am an ash blonde with blue eyes. My skin tone is apparently neutral and fair to light. (I have always considered myself cool toned, and look better in cool toned colors for clothes; I cannot wear oranges or anything too yellow.)

My current favorite blushes are Climax, Flirt and Petal (I am still trying to decide if I am seeing much difference between Flirt and Petal). I just received a sample of Gemini and I think it is going to become my evening look blush.

My current favorite eye combo for day is Earth on the lid, Fire as a highlight and Nuit as a liner. I did just receive the new GWP, Candid, and found it is a great highlight color to go with Lake and Eerie. I used that combo for a more "fun" eye last night. (Up until discovering SN eye shadows, I hadn't really been wearing eye shadow very much, and had been using very neutral mattes when I did wear any. So I have been having fun playing lately.)

I love all my lippies, but I think Cultured and Rare Berry are the two that I reach for the most. I just received Reddy and I am hoping it will work as my evening look lippie. (I have a major social event coming up in a couple weeks and it is one of my few opportunities to really dress up and do a more dramatic make-up look.)

I'm ash blonde with lots of gray streaking through. I'm warm toned and light medium in coloring. My eyes are a green /gold, and usually look more green. I don't think of my lips as being very pigmented, and most lippes look pretty ctrue to color on me.

Favorite blushes are: Foxxy and Satisfied, although I also use Forbidden and Vino quite a bit.
Favorite Lippies are: Rare Berry , Jaybird, and Skinny Dip.
Favorite eye shadow combinations( these change on a regular basis) Vacation/Escape and cream as a highlighter. Paparus as an all over wash with Grassroots Green as a liner.
Soriee on the lid, Taupetastic in the crease, Bubbly as a highlighter and either extraVERT or Nuit as a liner.
