Post by makeupmaniac » Thu Jun 10, 2010 2:19 pm

hi there,

my problem is that of all the colors i cannot choose what would be best for me.

i have cool brown hair, dark green eyes, and 1 olive, 1 ebony and lots of ivory skin.

when i tan, i first get pink and then quickly tan.

given all this what colors should i go for on my lips and blush and my eyes? cool ? warm?
please help

as i never seem to find the right combination!

Is there any way you can pm me a picture?

Also, it might help to know what colors of clothing you wear? Do you like a bold look, or a more natural one?

From your description, it sounds like you are mostly on the neutral side. I might also need to know where your depth falls. I am guessing you are pretty fair?
