Hi!
I am I new customer and I total beginner who is experimenting with finding out my makeup-colors. I am dark blonde, have brown eyes (with a little green in them) and have quite a lot of color naturally on cheeks and lips. Hera are some picture´s with no make-up at all:

I am not even sure whether I am warm or cool? Yellow or pink etc undertones in my skin? Summer, spring etc... ? If someone can help me I would be very happy. I'd also be thankful for productrecommendations:
-Which foundation color and proportion would probably be best?
-Under-eye concealer color?
-Nosewing concealer color?
-Brow powder color?
-Eyeshadow colors?
-Rouge colors?

Oh, sorry for the huge pictures... You seem to need to scroll the pictures at the right to them to see more than my forehead...

I'm not sure about most of your questions but I think you'd look really pretty with a purple eye liner or shadow.
And I'm totally using "nosewing" now. I'd never heard that expression before.

I wanted you to know I have seen this....you have several questions, so it takes a little longer.
For foundation and face :
I think Ebony 1 scoop color to around 8 or more white. For undereye concealer, try Extra Light Peach. For your general concealer you can mix up some foundation that is a little lighter than your foundation. If you ned up at 1:8, mix your concealer at 1:9 in the same coverage...if you go heavier coverage for your concealer mix it at the same ratio. Brow Powder, try Light Ash.
Color products are in the next post.

Blush/rouge- Petal or Climax
Eyeshadow- This is a tough category to narrow down for someone else without knowing a little more information. Do you like mattes or shimmers? Are there any other colors that interest you?
Lip gloss- I recommend trying at least one. For a color that enhances your natural lip color, try Gold Blush. For a color that is a little darker, but still not quite lipstick, try Breathless.

Thank you so much for your answers!
I tried the ebony 1:8. I think it melted in good on my forehead. On the cheeks and on my nose it first looked too white/grey but after a while it looked better so probably its right. I didn't have any daylight now so I have to try it again to be sure. Since enony is neutral/cool, does this mean I have a cool rather than warm skintone? Guess I have pink undertones rather than yellow or golden?
I have filled my wishlist with the colors I was recommended and look forward to trying them.
I am total beginner with eyeshadows so I don't really have any idea of what I like. I want to try an eyemakeup that make my eyes look larger, so if certain colors can help with that I'd prefer them. I think matte shadows will feel best to start with.
Again, thank you for taking your time with answering questions!
#2:Maybe nosewing is totally silly to say, it was just a direct tranlation from my native language ...

Our Ebony is neutral to slightly cool. I would not say your undertones are all out pink, but they are subtle pink.
For eyeshadows try Ballerina, Iris, Buttercup in the mattes. In the New Products, I think you need Tailfeather. In the satin shimmers, Sandy. I am going with lighter colors because they are the ones that tend to make you eyes look bigger..... If you do want to try a color that will add depth and contouring as well as usable for a liner, try Velvet or Eutaupeia.
