Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral, green eyes, dark hair
Your go-to pink lipstick? Chanel Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle is my new favorite pink lipstick.
Your go-to neutral blush? I think Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Paaarty is the most neutral of my blushes, unless NARS Orgasm counts as neutral, in which case that’s my first choice because I wear it more often.
Your go-to purple eyeshadow? I don’t have one yet. I just bought MAC Shale, so that might become a go-to.
I loooooooove Mademoiselle! Whenever I use a good Chanel lipstick I question my life choices and wonder why I ever buy anything else. 😀
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Your go-to pink lipstick? does MAC Lustering count as pink?
Your go-to neutral blush? nope – don’t have one
Your go-to purple eyeshadow? Nars Kauai or MAC Legendary Lure. I don’t often wear purple shadows but when I do, I tend to reach for one of those. I also really like UD Voodoo and Half Truth.
Correction – not “Legendary Lure”; it’s Fathoms Deep (I can never keep the names straight!) LL is really lovely too but it’s not purple.
MAC Lustering definitely counts as pink! I’ve had my eye on that one for awhile as my next Back-to-Mac lipstick.
Thanks for reminding me! I have years of large ziplock bags for their recycling program. I think they still give you a choice of lipstick, lipglass, and eyeshadow at free standing Mac stores.
It is so flattering – a nice brightening pink that isn’t too blue-toned or too yellow-toned either. So easy to wear, and makes a great cream blush as well.

Your go-to pink lipstick? UD Sheer Rapture; Sephora Cougar (Kelly Yum-Yum dupe)
Your go-to neutral blush? Tarte Exposed

UD Sheer Rapture is maybe my favorite lipstick ever but it isn’t really pink on me! More of a mauve.
Pink lipstick: For everyday pink, I reach for Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Fiend. Lately I’ve been wearing Guerlain’s Rouge G in Geraldine. I have a bunch from Estée Lauder and Lancome but I am currently at work and cannot remember the shades.
Neutral blushes: Tarte Paaarty, MAC Cheeky Buggar, MAC Blushbaby, and NARS Out There (from the Unfiltered 1 Palette).

Skintone: light, MAC NC 15 – 20, med brown hair and eyes
Go to pink lipstick : I love a pale or light pink or pinky nude. NARS Rikugien, Clinique Bamboo Pink, MAC Viva Glam II or Creme Cup are some of my favs!
Go to neutral blush: Tarte Paaarty, Lancome Miel Glace, MAC Cosmic Force, Cover Girl Tru Blend Blush in Medium Rose
Go to purple: Don’t have one. Maybe ABH Buon Fresco? I really dislike most purple shades. It’s my least favorite color and I struggle to like it!
Skin tone: Very pale with cool undertones, MAC NW 5-10
Go to pink lipstick: Since pinks and berries are my go to shades I am not sure I could limit to one answer. My favorite shade is Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope in the shade Private Party. Gold tube, blue velvet box, perfect cool toned pink-perfect for me. Favorite formula is Pat MacGrath LuxeTrance Vicious Venoms in the shade Wicked and any of the Guerlain Rouge G’s in the pink line.
Go to neutral blush: Probably the closest I can get to a nude blush is Tarte Exposed. I don’t wear a lot of neutral blushes just because color on my cheeks makes me happy.
Go to purple shadow: I love purple shadows and really can’t pick a favorite. I love Huda Twilight, MAC Stars and Stripes, Queen of Hearts Ladyship and Queen Mother, any purple shadow from UD and Nabla. Nabla has some beautiful duochrome purples that I love but since I am not at home I can’t remember the names.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with yellow/warm undertone, hazel eyes, platimun blonde
Your go-to pink lipstick? Estee Lauder’s Pink Parfait has been my jam since the 80’s! Still get compliments on it daily.
Your go-to neutral blush? Hourglass Mood Exposure, Charlotte Tilbury’s First Love, or Essence Sweetheart
Your go-to purple eyeshadow? I don’t have one but love Elizabeth Arden’s Smoke to Powder Pencil in Black Violet to make the green in my hazel eyes pop
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/cool skin, gray eyes, brown hair with red highlights and scattered blonde and blue strands.
Your go-to pink lipstick? Doutzen’s or Liya’s pinks from the L’Oreal Collection Exclusive La Vie En Rose collection.
Your go-to neutral blush? The closest would probably be either BellaPierre Autumn Glow mineral blush or NARS Satellite of Love highlighting blush.
Your go-to purple eyeshadow? Urban from the UD Electric palette (NOTE: Slowburn, Savage, Jilted, and Urban are labeled as “not safe for eyes” because the FDA hasn’t tested their shared red pigment for eye safety-Europe has tested it and found it safe. When I first got the palette, I called UD customer service and they said that people with sensitive eyes should avoid using those 4 shades on the eye altogether, but most people will be fine using them on the eye as long as they don’t tightline.).
Skintone:Fair with neutral-warm under tones. NC10
Go-to pink lipstick: Urban Decay Revolution lipstick in Obsessed. Quite bright, but looks great with lavender blush!
Go-to neutral blush: Benefit Dallas! Looks incredible on skin!
Go-to purple eyeshadow: I don’t really wear purple, so don’t really have a favorite.
•Skin tone/coloring: Fair and pinkish with some freckles. Visible blueish veins around eye area. Naturally strawberry blonde but it’s half level 13 blonde for now because regrowth. ? Blue grey eyes. {W10 is too pink and NC10 & NC15 are too dark.} I wear Fair Bye Bye Under Eye (illumination formula or the original) mixed with Light Bye Bye Foundation and sometimes Fair Celebration Foundation with Illumination.
•Go to pink lipstick: Melt Cosmetics Shady Lady + Melt Jinx liner or Mac liners Process Magenta or Cherry. I have to switch it up since I wear Shady Lady often. For lighter brighter pink days it’s Melt Cosmetics Stupid Love sometimes mixed with Summer (to coral it up and brighten even more) + Mac liner High Energy or old Shiseido lipliners 10 Red Pink or 1 Coral. I’ve never found great dupes for my old favorite Shiseido liners.
•Go to neutral blush: I rarely wear blush anymore and usually use IT Cosmetics CC+ ombré bronzer instead. Sometimes I use IT Cosmetics blushes but I’m not in love with them. Melt Cosmetics Amelie eyeshadow from the Love Sick Stack works! I hope to try one of their new blushes or blushlights soon.
•Go to purple eyeshadow: Promiscuous from Melt’s Love Sick Stack.
~nw 15-20, red u/t. Pink? A slight sheer gloss maybe, but pink l/s is a vast no. When younger, pinks and corals were ok, but not as my skin became less translucent and warmer. Mauves are ok, mlbb. Warm pinks make me look swampy, not olive, swampy. Neutral blush: prob CP Aphrodisiac, panned it instantly, Stila convertible Magnolia, and to a lesser extent, Tarte Exposed. Purple e/s: so many good ones, and lots out now. Really like grayed purples, but not home to check names. The KVD metal matte, UD Vice purples, and abh buon fresco come to mind. CP SSS and powders are decent, too. To me, there’s no such thing as a go-to.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral undertones and freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.
Your go-to pink lipstick? Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in The Rabbit
Your go-to neutral blush? Either Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Paaarty or Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush in Rose Champagne.
