Which colours can you absolutely NOT wear?

actually bold colors of any kind usually look BAD on me, probably since they tend to look better on darker complexions (sp?).
EW, and brown-toned lips, they do not do me justice!

really dark colors are hard for me since i have deep-set eyes and dark circles and it's always hard for me to apply them effectively and not look like i've been punched in the eye or resurrecting my 14 year old goth-wannabe self.

reds, blues or bluish greens aren't very flattering for me either.

Some earthy tones, like mossy/khaki greens, look very wrong on me. I doubt Chrome Yellow would look good. Blues are hard to make work, admittedly. But I've worn just about every color at one point or another, with varying degrees of success. It's all in the application.

blues and teals for sure, and i don't really like the way greens look on me either, but occasionally i'll try to make them work. the only blue i've ever kept is parrot and i'm waiting for the right occasion to come out with it. lol.

Pink eyeshadow looks awful on me. I own at least 8 different shades of pink, warm and cool, bright and pale... and I cannot wear a single one. I can sort of wear expensive pink, but it's got gold in it so it's more of a peach.

And yeah, brown lip colors. Yuck. I have Madcap lipglass and it looks SO gross on me.

Despite having red hair, I can do blues. I just have to be extremely careful about how I put them on. Otherwise I look like I've just come out of a fight or steped out of the 80's! I'm not quite sure which would be worse LOL

Chrome Yellow, Jasmine, & Gorgeous Gold = me looking sick.
Vivid pinks = me after I've been crying for hours, have pinkeye, or a bad bad hangover. Same for reds.
Blacks (or very dark coors) = I look like death warmed over.

black is not flattering on me at all! I've never been able to use black mascara & when I use liquid liners even dark brown will look black on me & look horrible. If it's softened (like when I line with e/s, like black tied) & smudged up then sometimes I can pull it off, but most of the time it does not suit me at all.
Yellows, greens, violets, pinks, browns, blues all look good on me.

My other problem is dark colors-my eyes are small so when I want to do a smokey look my eyes just disappear. I hate that!!!!!

I wear pretty much any colour on my eyes, although sometimes pink eyeshadows make me look like I have an infection or something. I stay away from those, but thats okay as they don't much appeal to me anyways.

I can't wear orange shades of e/s at all. I look tired and so-dead with those. It's funny that orange-peach is a perfect natural cheek color on me.

coppering is borderline..
chrome yellow or bright oranges. They make your eyes look puffy as if you've been crying all night.

Teals just look absolutely awful on me. They make my eyes look yellow and scary. Oh well, I guess that exempts me from the whole parrot craze.

my only problems are with very blue colors. i just steer clear of them, even if i think some of the colors are beautiful, like belle azure (my roommate has three of these and she looks amazing in blues!).
