But I'm not sure what blush/lippie/eyeshadow to use. Maybe you guys can help me out?
Thanks in advance!

Pretty look! I'm of no help, but I'm interested to see what colors could be used!

Something close:

Blush- Poppy or Satisfied
Lips- Bobbi or Cultured, but Gold Blush would be perfect for someone with lips close to that color.
Eyeshadow- Burnished and Tawney

Thanks for the suggestions Jen, I was so lost with all the options on the site!

Poppy looks perfect, still in doubt about the lippie because my lips are so pigmented, but I think I'll try bobbi. As for eyeshadows, dark arts looks very pretty too...

More suggestions are welcome!

Yep, Dark Arts is definitely another possibility.

I wonder how Nectar or Sweet Nothing would work for a lippie for you?

I'd second the suggestion of Bobbi. I've got very pale skin, yellow toned (buttery gold blend) and dark rosy pink lips. For reference, Berry Nice is my lips but brighter. I couldn't get anything to work as a soft nude colour on me until I found Bobbi. It's not an opaque washout colour but it certainly does work to give a delicate nude effect (without going brown or grey) on pigmented lips.
