Please help me with colors

Post by CoralSugar » Sat Jan 23, 2010 7:42 pm

Hi

I am brand new to SN, but not new to MMU. I am one of the EDM's converting customers and would like an advice about fundation, blush, lip and eye colors. I am putting my first order together.

I was Sunkissed Fair in EDM.

I have no idea what my undertones are, I always tought I am cool (while I had black hair), and when I changed my hair color I wasn't sure about being cool anymore. Now I also wear and like peach blushes, so I totally dont know.

I think you will be a Warm Gold or Olive......Warm Gold at about 1 scoop color to 9 Ivory....Olive at about 1 scoop color to 14.

Lippies....Maiden, Nectar, Cultured (so Silverfern doesn't have to recommend it to you! Actually, it will be a good one....)
Blush.....one of Satisfied or Afterglow, and Wish You Were Here, Stardust
Finishers.....Tempt Tryst or Perfecting Powder
Eyes.....Purr. But what kinds of colors do you like? Neutrals, blues, greens, purples? Shimmer, pearl, matte?

Oh thank you.

For eyes I like neutrals, nudes, beiges, pinks, greens, light gray. Recently I started to experiment with blues. I like to have different look every day.

I like mostly pearl texture, but would even try some mattes, I don't own any mattes as of now.

I would never tought I could be gold or olive. I was always buying foundation in the neutral cathegory just to be safe. :lol:

Aw, Jen beat me to it! hahaha I love Cultured. I really need to get some more lipsticks so I can recommend more but I really can't see that ever not working for especially us fairer ladies.

For blushes, if you like peach, for something nice and hard to over-do, I recommend adding Climax to the list of samples you try. Any of the NARS Orgasm clones Karen as created will probably work on you. She's a genius at them. They are better than the original.
