Your skin tone/coloring: I am fair skinned with a neutral undertone and have freckles.
Favorite cool-toned lipstick? right now I am loving Ilia Beauty’s Crimson and Clover, Bite Beauty’s Luminous Creme lipstick in Pomegranite and Bite Beauty’s Luminous Creme Lipstick in Lavendar.
Favorite warm-toned blush? Milani’s Baked Powder Blush in Luminoso
Favorite cool-toned eyeliner? I haven’t really used a cool toned eyeliner, I keep to browns and blacks because my hair is so dark and my eyelashes are short and sparse.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool-toned
Favorite cool-toned lipstick? seriously, just one? No can do but top 3 would be MAC Craving and Plumful and Bite Vigne

Your skin tone/coloring: fair/light warm (NC15)
Favorite cool-toned lipstick? I don’t have one, I’m definitely a warm toned lipstick fan. Even my reds are warm! I’ve kind of been eyeing Ruby Woo lately, since I L-O-V-E the Retro Matte formula (I’m a freak I know).
Favorite warm-toned blush? This is easy, since I like warm colors. My favorite blush for the summer is MAC New Romance, but for a more neutral look I adore Clinique Nude Pop.
Favorite cool-toned eyeliner? Hands down, UD Mildew. It’s a bright yet mossy green with gold undertones. It really brings out the brown and gold tones in my eyes. I’ve got a feeling I’ll be busting this out a ton come fall to pair with MAC Sumptuous Olive eyeshadow. (PS, Mildew also comes as an eyeshadow!)
Skintone/Coloring: Fairly light, very neutral; dark-featured.
Cool Lipstick: NYX Black Sesame; I can mix it with *any* nude, and it neutralizes any warm/peachy tones, and makes them wearable. I also like it with pinks, and even alone,
Warm Blush: NARS Madly is about as warm as I go… I was purging my stash recently, and I discovered an older LE Revlon blush in Naughty Or Spice; apparently, the lid was broken/unhinged when I bought it, and I stashed it away in a bin of “backups”.
Cool Eyeliner: L’Oréal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black…
Your skin tone/coloring: light with yellow undertones
Favorite cool-toned lipstick? MAC RiRi Woo
Favorite warm-toned blush? MAC Ripe for Love

Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair neutral; magenta-red hair, hazel/green eyes.
Favorite cool-toned lipstick? Sephora Rouge Cream Lipstick in Cougar, UD Sheer Revolution Lipstick in Sheer Rapture; Nyx High Voltage Lipstick in Playdate; Nyx Wicked Lippie in Trickery and Coldhearted; Performance Colors (out of business 🙁 ) lipstick in Black Rose; OCC Lip Tar in Black Metal Dahlia and Technopagan.
Favorite warm-toned blush? MUFE HD Cream Blush 420 (coral); Sleek blush in Life’s a Peach and Rose Gold; Milani Rose powder blush in Coral Cove; ColourPop blush in Jellyfish; UD Afterglow blush in Quiver; Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Blushed Rose.
Favorite cool-toned eyeliner? UD 24/7 eyeliner pencil in Mars (LE) & Psychedelic Sister; L’oreal Infallible Silkissime Eyeliner in Pure Purple and Plum.
Black Metal Dahlia is so beautiful! Thanks for mentioning it, I need to show mine more love. 🙂
My son calls it “the sexy vampire lipstick.” lol I wore it a lot this last winter.
NC15
UD super saturated pencil in lovechild, NARS Mascate
MAC Immortal Flower
UD Crave
Your skin tone/coloring: very pale, neutral to marginally warm
Favorite cool-toned lipstick? Dior Mayday, maybe followed by Dior Bellissima
Favorite warm-toned blush? MAC Peaches? But really, almost all my blushes are warm toned. Lately I’m loving Colourpop Jelly Fish, too.
Favorite cool-toned eyeliner? Stila Smudge Crayon in Midnight Blue
■Your skin tone/coloring: light, cool skin with hazel eyes and brown hair
■Favorite cool-toned lipstick? All my favorite lipsticks! I guess I’d say my desert island lipstick, NARS Funny Face even though I hate to pick just one.
■Favorite warm-toned blush? Tarte Tipsy because it’s the only one I own? I would like to have something like MAC Sunbasque though, maybe I’ll try it this summer.
■Favorite cool-toned eyeliner? UD Cuff (silver)
Sunbasque is gorgeous for the summertime, you just have to be careful not to over-apply! I find it quite pigmented on my fair skin even though it’s labelled a Sheertone. I usually apply it in the places I’d normally wear bronzer, not the places I’d normally wear blush. I’d really recommend you try it out!

Favorite cool toned eyeliner: MAC Siahi Fluidline in a heartbeat, but it takes 2 coats, once on it is fairly bulletproof though and makes my eyes look brighter! Now I really want to get MAC Waveline too!
Oh, Nancy.. I finally tried all blushes and highlighters today.. My arm is a blended shade of rouge with sparkle AFTER oil, water, MAC wipes, KGD Spa water.. I found some favorites though! I think I should review how they turned on my skin color because it’s so different and may help others! ColourPop changes on everyone.. It was so fun to watch what they did! Wow! And whoa.. I didn’t remember ordering basically all of them.. Now I understand their “personal note” Thank you for your order! It seems you’re fully supplied with your vitamins ace.. ” I don’t ft it.. The pixi is dead in a Guerlsin coffin so I have no ultimate power source to offer advice.. Can you lend me a quarter, please? I’m highly waisted! 😀
Ahhh, the fair pixi may need to partake of a bit of Monster Pie to revive him back to life. Where he can spritely hop and jump for joy, and take his once wearied wings and FLY again!
