What pigment colors should I buy/will suit me?

[hyazinth]

Hi there!
I recently kept thinking about which pigment colors I should add to my collection. I already own: Melon, Pink Bronze, Jardin Aires, Museum Bronze, Tan, Rushmetal, Copperized. But I think it's time to try some more colors like blues, greens and purple or lilac. Unfortunately I am not very confident which one would suit me and how to combine them with the ones I already got.
My eyes are green and my hair is a lightbrown-dark blonde (put a picture on my profile page).
Any suggestions? What would you recommend?
Looking forward to reading your ideas. Help me to create

Thanks

Purples really bring out green eyes - try maroon, smoke signal, viz a violet, burnt burgundy, nocturnal plum, rich purple, grape, deep purple, etc.

Try goldenaire, coco beach, chocolate brown or subtle too.

Hi,

What kind of finish do you like, are matte's OK or do you prefer a frost/shimmery texture?

Mattes are also fine but I also never tried these. Maybe a bit better for daily make up. What combination would you suggest? Then I can go and get samples to try.

Thanks for your suggestions, maroon and deep purple look pretty. Coco beach is also such a beautiful color.

Coco Beach is one of my personal favorites and Sweet sienna is a must have. I have brown hair and brown eyes and look best in browns, purples and greens. I tend to like the darker tones and stay away from real bright colors. If you like coco beach you'd probably like Chocolate brown too. Junkie gave some great colors, some good greens are Forest Green, emerald green, deep blue green and if you dont already have Vanilla, thats a must have

for a lilac color you can try circa plum oh and apricot pink is one of my lighter color favorites. It's pretty on the eyes but I also wear it lightly over my blush.

Thanks for your ideas. I usually buy and use only browns, they suit anyone anytime. That's why I got a pigment in tan on frigay again

I think I will get a combination of pigments you and junkie suggested. Maybe 3 greens, 3 purples and 2 or 3 of the browns. I am curious how the lilac/purple colors will look on me.
