Brown hair and brown eyes

Post by destiny829 » Sat Jan 03, 2015 8:36 pm

Hi so as you can see I have brown hair and brown eyes. I want to get some foundation or maybe just concealer to cover up the redness in my face. Im not sure what color of foundation though I was looking at the swatches on here but I don't know if im cool tone or warm tone. Maybe you could tell me that as well? I would also like suggestions on eyeshadows and Lipstick i ordered quite a bit but would like to put another order in soon but would like to get colors that compliment my skin tone and my face. I honestly never know what to get so I am always a bit scared to order anything. Thanks a lot and can't wait to hear back from you.
Destiny.

Fair and pretty neutral, I think. I usually recommend a sample kit for foundation. You will likely fall in Olive or Ebony. Olive about 1 color: 15 white, Ebony about 1 color: 9 or 10 white.

Concealers should be sampled in the second shade for sure....

For eyeshadow and lipstick, I am guessing you want more natural looking shades.... It might help us to recommend for you if you tell us colors that you like to wear....even for clothing. It is always hard to recommend color products without some kind of direction.

I usually wear red and black. Most black. I also wanted to say at Sephora in the makeup for ever foundation im a 115 in Ivory if that helps at all. I know I do have quite a bit of pink undertones.

Lips: Nectar, Berry Nice or Seedy, Five Star

Eyes: What about something like our nude favorites palette? All of the colors are sold individually, too, if you only wanted to try a few of them.
