(check out her FOTD when she used russian red). for a nude lipstick try bare slimshine it is a little pinky but i think it just looks really nice and glossy. blushes- my first blush ever was blushbaby- this gave me a very natural looking flush, peachy blushes also look great on NC42. eyeshadow- for this you should go on the website or visit a store or counter and just pick colors you like, you can really pull off just about anything. you should invest in a good eyeshadow base i am going to recommend a paint pot for that. try soft ochre, its a little yellow-brown and it really works for the skin tone hth |

Starting in Make Up and perfecting your skill and application technique as well as finding what colors do and don't work for you is such a trial and error process. I say that to say and recommend that you hit your local drugstore. Browse through some magazines and pinpoint some looks you like and want to try and decide on what colors you KNOW look good on you. Then try inexpensive brands, Im talking Loreal(the HIP collection is great), Revlon, Mizani, and maybe some Covergirl. If you can find Jane cosmetics, that may be even better. I have a deep affection for Jane, that's what I started wearing. Depending on what color looks right on you and what color you know you can rock, then head on over to MAC. Now in the event that you already know what works for you. In my opinion colors like Humid, Amber Lights, Bronze and Plum Dressing, MAC eyeshadow's look great on all skintones. If I were you, I would invest in a good Eyeshadow base as it will keep your shadow from creasing and keep the color vibrant and last. Picking the right eyeshadow base is crucial in my opinion. Even with the right base, you can make those lil "cheapola" eyeshadows pop. It's all about the base. As for blush, that's tricky because not everyone likes blush. I do recommend Pinch Me, Mocha or Ambering Rose(all by MAC) Hope that helps. Feel free to hit me up if you need some more suggestions. I am sure I can come up with more.
