touch of color for a WOC

Hey ladies!

When i first tried to get into make up i started with mac but i eventually wandered. I was always matched to studio tech's nw43 and it close to my complexion but a little to dark and red. I eventually found Bare Minerals and i wear "Dark" and occasionally add a little deep to the powder.

I'm in college and i don't really take much time other than to put on my Bare Minerals i love that it gives me an even color across my face. Now i kind of want to spice things up a little, by making adding a blush (warmth doesn't really show on me) or a highlight i guess. the picture at the bottom has a girl with something shimmery i want to say on her cheeks and i'd love to have a product that gave me that affect. I'm not as light as she is but i think if i applied it a subtle way it would be cute.

I've also always wanted to wear like a deep red on my lips or a pink but have it look natural. I'm not really a fan of lipglass or gloss i prefer lipsticks or lip liners.

Are there any covergirl eyeshadows that work for someone of my complexion? I can't find the queen collection where i live.

For your cheeks try Milani's Glimmer Stripes, they're only about $4-$6. Hope this helps.
