I find that Luxe is actually a lot darker and more copper in real life that in the picture. Maybe Quartzite (though i've never tried it) or Bare (also never tried but now that i had a look at it... looks good. So much for never wanting any of the colours you listed! :roll: )

Lovelace does not work on me at all. It's actually too orange. I was disappointed. I can imagine it would look good on someone with darker skin though.

I would be so happy if there were kits with the brighter colours. I know why kits always have the less crazy colours but i thing if there were kits with these colours it would encourage people to use them. Like if you had a kit that came with a little diagram showing you how to use the colours people would be less scared off. Or a kit that showed you how to recreate a "Look". In fact that would be great!
I love playing with make-up but i do sometimes feel lost in actually making up my face in a way that i would want to leave the house in. I can only imagine how daunting it would be if you had no experience. Maybe the kits could include the diagram Karen did for the three colour eye makeup.

I love love Rare Berry as a lippie. I bought three and was considering buying a fourth one on my last order.

Lippie - Rare Berry
2nd choices - Peach Melba just got this and this is so peachy pretty.
I had to order Crush Berry after reading how many would take this on a deserted island. This is also a second choice.

Bronzer - Beach Bunny
I can also add a quick swipe across eye lids with the fibre optic blush for a pretty look.

I can't pick just two eye shadows. Just can't....

Blush - hard choice!!
Lovelace - peachy colours
Sassy, Rich 2nd choices

Blush - natural
Jamie, Bronze Beauty

Flirt - pinky blush colours

I must must take finishing powder! Lure is too dark for me but I love the other ones! The newest one Tempst is my favorite.

If you thinking of putting together kits
I like to see 3 or 4 items for a day or office look. I liked the Pink Glam kit.

OR an eye shadow quad (maybe an option of a cream liner or a dark liner shade for extra special look)

I would love to see kits!

Edit: candy choices....can't piclk just one. I love chocolate and Poppy Cock candy popcorn.

Okay, you're another one for the fully staffed yacht :)

Dolce, Bling, and Honey for e/s? Those wouldn't necessarily work all together, but Honey would give you a one-colour wash for daytimes, and Dolce and Bling could definitely go evenings.

Mahogany or Envy for a liner (kind of leaning towards Envy on this one).

The problem with the bronzers is that some people would want Tahiti Sweetie and some would want Beach Bunny, though I agree they're fantastic for au naturel days.

So...Bronze Beauty and maybe Babydoll for evenings?

Berry Crush and Gold Blush for lippies?
