Recommendations for NC35 Skintone

[RandomnessWithK]

Okay - so i see a lot of WOC recommendations for blushes/bronzers etc but i've noticed when i've searched i've only found great recs for NC40+ and some of the colors mentioned i don't know would look good on me...

But i'm trying to look for everyday items for my NC35 skin:

i'm looking for everyday:

Peachy Blush (prefer MAC brand or dupe) - both matte and shimmery
Countour/bronzers (Prefer MAC brand or dupe)


and what are some everyday eyeshadow colors you'd all recommend (that is office safe/neutral

)

Thanks in advanced!

Yay I'm an NC35 too!

For a matte peach blush, I like Gingerly. It looks kinda brownish orangey and gross in the pan, but on the cheeks it looks so gorgeously peach.

For bronzer, I really like Benefit Hoola. It looks really nice and doesn't look muddy or dirty.

Everyday shadow colours:
Brule or Blac Type: All over the lid, and it's light enough to cancel out any discolouration on the lid, but dark enough to look skin colourish.

Cork: Matte soft brown. Really awesome for the crease.

Handwritten: Dark brown that you can pop into the outer v for some more definition.

Shroom: Perfect highlight. Just a little bit lighter than the skin colour, and the shimmery-ness is just perfect so it's not like a complete disco ball.

Satin Taupe/Patina: Either of these can be layered onto the lid for a shimmery look. These are both really unique but quite neutral colours.

I'm an NC30-35 depending on the season. A good peachy blush is Gingerly, I also like Style (which is a brighter peach/orangey blush...in love with it)

And for bronzer, I just use Laguna from NARS

 

[RandomnessWithK]

i actually had Style on my "to buy" blush list..

and had thought about NARS laguna or luster? so i'll keep those on my list too and swatch them when i can!

Mac Melba blush.

I'm NC35 too & I can only agree with thiscarmen.. most of the products she mentioned are my faves too!!
For shimmery peachy blushes I also love springsheen.. and peachtwist, which is a darker color (love it for summertime!). they both are sheertone shimmers with a beautiful sheen!

My everyday neutrals are: Shroom, Cork, All that glitters, Ricepaper, Satin Taupe, Mulch, Sable, Brun =)

Thank you! I'm thinking about hitting the MAC store later today - hopefully i'll either get a few mentioned shadows.. or at least be able to swatch them!

Oh i LOVE LOVE LOVE Luster!! I think Luster is a definite must. It gives a very natural glow with just the right amount of glimmer. Laguna is my first and only bronzer so i can't really say much except that i like it and it doesn't give that dirty or too orangey look i see people with.

I'm an NC30 - NC35 depending on season.

Blushes: NARS Deep Throat is a lovely one to have too (better than Orgasm)
Eyeshadows: Satin Taupe, Mulch and Shroom (but i've been wanting to try Ricepaper)

Peach blush with shimmer-MAC Stlye, matte- MAC Peaches
Bronzer-Too Faced Sun Bunny, NARS Laguna
Everyday shadows-Too Faced's Natural Eye kit or their Sexpresso/Peach Fuzz shadow duo. MAC Espresso, All That Glitter's,Nylon

You might really like the NARS Laguna/Orgasm duo too.

 

[RandomnessWithK]

Does anyone know how similar MAC Style, Peaches & Melba are on NC35 skin? or swatches for them for me to compare? in the swatch MAC blush thread - couldn't find these..

I saw the too faced sun bunny bronzer and really liked that.. and I looked at NARS Laguna when i stopped by this weekend, but it seems super dark? didn't get to swatch as i was getting kinda sick and didn't want to touch anything lol just look.

thanks for all the recommendations!

wanted to add on here

what is a good concealer for nc35 skin (for dark under eye circles as well as uneven skin (some darker areas on my sides of chin/jawline if that makes sense)

 

[MizzMelroseMood]

I wear Too Faced's herbal eye base/concealer in Hollywood medium. It's a golden peachy shade and covers darkness really well. MAC Peaches looks just like Style except it's a sheertone so it's matte, Style has a pretty shimmer. Sun Bunny is a really good bronzer because u get 2 shades to custom blend, plus the compact is huge and it's sooo pigmented, it will last forever.

Thank you so much for the reply! I do appreciate that!

i've been eyeing peaches and style blush this whole time that i've posted.. AHHH! lol. i want all of them!

but i think since summer is just around the corner, goign to look for a good bronzer and i think Sun Bunny sounds like it would fit the bill toO!
