Hi! I'm having a hard time buying things online.... I'm wanting to buy a mineralised skin finish to put ontop of my foundation but I'm not to sure which one... I was thinking Medium? Any ideas? I'm also having trouble with my eyeshadows... I bought Brulee and also Soba thinking they would come up on my lids... but they just aren't dark enough on my skin tone... could any one help with some great colours for an NW25? I'll post a photo so you know exactly what skin tone I am... I'm also looking for another great highlight colour if any one could suggest something? The eyeshadows I have are; Espresso, Carbon, Wedge, contrast, humid, cranberry, soba, swiss chocolate, brulee, ricepaper, handwritten and satin taupe... but I feel as if I could expand this collection a little (LOL!) And I also have Melba, and Gleeful for blushes from MAC but I'm looking for another couple of blushes to use... maybe one more peach and just any other suggestion.... also is soft and gentle a good highlighting colour for the face? ALSO (LOL sorry for all these questions, any help is a BIG help!) could anyone suggest a good nude lip colour and just a general every day one that would be good? I have in lipsticks; hot gossip and creme cup, hot gossip is a good hot pink, but I'm looking for something a little bit more every day?? Thanks to anyone who can help me.... I appreciate it SO much! http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l512/tillyy23/IMG_5358-1-1.jpg Such a flattering photo (NOT! haha!)
No MAC counter available, HELP with suggestions?

I use NC25 foundation, but I have most of the eyeshadows you listed and use them all the time.
You've got a good list of eyeshadows to mix and match.
You could try using a primer so that the eyeshadow colours like Soba and Brule show up more on your lids. I love Brule in particular as an all-over lid to brow colour, and then put another colour on the lid and into the crease for day. I particularly like Wedge with Brule. I darken up the crease with a colour like Espresso for evening.
I love Ricepaper as a brow highlighter. I love Shroom too.
What shade of nude are you looking for in a lipstick? Someone more taupy? Or brown? Or do you want to stay in the pinky range?
With the neutral eyeshadow you have listed, you can go for something bolder, or stay paler on the lips. Whatever suites you better.
My go-to day lipsticks are High Tea, Hug Me, Twig, and Retro. Each of these can be played up or played down depending on which lip pencil you use with it.
