would love color suggestions...

[hotmama]

Hello! I am new to this forum and mu line too. I would like suggestions on some easy color combos for work. I just got my shipment in the mail today...yeah!!! This is what I have so far:
Birthday suit(perfect nudie),bliss, berry crush, dolce, cashmere, boom, fire, brimstone, and disco. The fire (es) is too beautiful. I am very pleased with my order can't wait 2 play. I'm recently separated from hubby, so makeup has been my therapy :(
I can't upload a pic as I buy and surf via cell phone...so, I am very close in looks to Vanessa Williams. She's much prettier than I am but were close. I have more green in my eyes and my undertone is yellow. Any help with some nice combos on my skin would be fantasic. I'm about to place another order to sample foundations, etc.
Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the forum, hotmama!

It sounds as though you are on the warm side with a medium to deep tone. For a finisher, I would recommend Love Lure or Tempt Tryst. You will probably be a Buttery Gold foundation base. I would also try our most pigmented blushes. Those are Babydoll and Tart for pink, Carnal for plum, and Forbidden and Vixen for reddish tones. You might also want to try Poppy and Lovelace for peachy tones.

The eyeshadow category is so fun. It is hard for me to make a good recommendation without knowing more of what you like. I know you wanted suggestions for the office, but that can mean very different things to different people! If you are interested in neutrals, it is hard to go wrong with any of the shadows in the Geo Collection http://www.silknaturals.com/creb/produc ... cts_id=109. It is the dupes of the Stonewashed Nudes. If you want something with a little more pizazz, any of the MAC dupes will fit the bill. Do you like blues and greens? Pinks and purples? If you like Fire, you also might want to look into Sprite. It is similar to Fire, but with a gold sheen rather than a coppery one. Let me know more of what you like and I will be more specific for you!!

Jen,
Thx for your help.I wasn't blown away when I looked at the geo collection. After you suggested it I took another look, and went for it. I honestly don't have a color preference. I love them all. I went with lighter blush choices. I'm not really into color on my cheeks. I love any color on eyes a nude lip and a hint of color on cheeks. So this is my most recent haul:
Geo collection, jamie blush, teakie, climax, legend, luxe, haze, naughty, carnal, beach bunny,tahiti sweetie, tempt tryst, found.sample, jaybird, bon bon, and skinny dip.
So now I will be stalking the mailman until it comes...I did say I was in therapy?! *smiles*

Sounds like you picked some great ones! As for the Geo Collection, it is great on. It is neutrals with sophistication.

You will definitely have a good amount of therapy contained in that parcel when it arrives! Plus, it will cost much less than a live therapist and you will have quite a number of sessions included!
