Cool toned light skin with hazel eyes

Post by khasart1 » Tue Jan 17, 2012 12:10 pm

My camera is not working but I would love some suggestions for e/s and lippies. I have light skin with alot of pink in it and hazel green eyes. Nothing too shimmery please. I am in my forties. :)

Hmmm...
I was hoping someone with your coloring would help you out here, especially since you have Hazel eyes. I find that people with Hazel eyes can wear many interesting color combinations in the mid-tone range, including some pastels ;)
I am fair with cool yellow and a bit of peach and my eyes are probably darker and more of a warm brown.
I am also in my forties, and so prefer a more sueded finish for my basic shadows. But I often add a (carefully controlled) "pop" of glam somewhere on my eye. Anything goes!...provided it goes a certain way :P

There are a few basic shadows that I am sure will look quite nice:
Propinquity
Model (Eye Lights are worth exploring. They have a soft glowing finish)

The Stonewashed Nudes set is fabulous if you like tans, browns, and fresh looking greys.
The Summer Lovin' Quad is also lovely.

Bobbi is a gorgeous lip color.

Let me root through my colors and perhaps post to you again. Meanwhile, I hope someone closer to your eye color jumps in.

Maeva,

Thanks for giving me some suggestions. I happen to loooove Bobbi lipgloss! I haven't tried any of the new eyelights and was considering Model.. Karley from Chic & Green reviewed the Elegant
Brown Quad. I used to never wear much brown but as I get older I think I am leaning towards more neutral colors. Thanks again!

I have hazel eyes, and get a lot of use out of Homecoming Queen and Mahalo. My skin tone is more of a light olive, but I could see those colors being somewhat universal.
