I have light skin, black hair and blue/grey eyes, and gold blush is one of my favs. I also wore seedy a lot during the summer. But keep in mind that it all depends on your on lips too: mine are very pigmented and seedy shows as a beautiful semi-dark berry on me. Damsel is very pretty too.

I am quite pale. I would wear the lightest warm foundation shade in any MMU line. While I don't have all the lippies and eye shadows I do own quite a few. There is some I really LOOOOVE and I ordered back ups. I have not been disappointed with a lippie or an eye shadow as I can wear them all.

My (current) favorites in lippies are Rare Berry (own three - LE), soft, Nectar, Melba and Fig Leaf. There is probably others that I can list as favorites but have been "misplaced".

The eye shadows always go on smoothly. Overall if I "had to choose" only one eye shadow company it is SN.

Some of my favorites for eye shadows:

Bare, Nakkid, Sandy, Danny, Casmere, and Velvet (as a smudged liner) I ordered this as a liner.

I have green eyes, blond hair, and fair (often blotchy skin so Unblush is a lifesaver)

If a shade is too dark for the lid, I wear it as a smudged liner. I prefer nuetrals for shadows but will wear some pinky shades to bring out the green. I ordered a bunch of samples during the eye shadow sample sale. I got a bunch of colours at .50 each and tried a bunch of colours I would not have ordered in full size. It was a lot of fun for very little $$.

Thank you all for you care and help, (and for not paying attention to the mistakes I might have made in English)! I'm done now, my order is placed: for the eyeshadows, I also listened to Jen and chose a plum less pink than vineyard, and for the lippies, I went with aria, gold blush and damsel, and if finally I wish something darker I'll see... there are plenty of occasions to place an order! Thank you!
