Recommend some perm items (pale NW)?

[jennyap]

Apart from shadows, I haven't really explored the permanent collection at all - I know, shame on me! I need to have a proper swatching session some time, but would love to hear your recommendations too, particularly if you are a pale NW like me. Interested in hearing let's say your top 6 lipsticks, top 6 blush, plus anything else that's a must have (and why), please. Thanks!

Thanks!

I don't have that many perm shades when it comes to blushes and lipsticks either, so I can only come up with a few recommendations. For blushes I'd say Well Dressed, Dame, Lovecloud and Mocha, and as for lipsticks, something like Pure Zen, Hue, High Tea and Hug Me are shades I'd check out.

When it comes to skin products, the Prep + Prime Highlighter in Radiant Rose is light enough and very pink toned, so that works great for pale NWs. The Studio Finish Concealer in NW15 is a staple for me as well) it's lighter and not as yellow toned as some other MAC concealers in NW15).
