Skin Tone: Very fair with yellow undertones (YSL BD10 in their Touche Eclat foundation range)
Plum or Burgundy lipstick: Plum because it’s more wearable for my fair skin.
Pink or Peach blush: I’m fortunate that either looks good on my skin tone. I match it to my clothes and lipstick (warm colored shirt = peach blush, cool color shirt = pink blush)
Green or gold eyeliner: Green if it’s dark. I need definition along my lash line, and gold is pretty but would only look good layered with black or brown.
NW35

Peach
Ooh… Gold eyeshadow, green liner 🙂

Pink blush, no question
I like BOTH green and gold but there’s such a range (green can be anything from almost black to brilliant acid green; there’s also a wide range within the colour “gold”). I have to say both but if I could only have one, I guess it would be green

So you prefer plum or burgundy lipstick? Burgundy!

Do you prefer plum or burgundy lipstick? Plum!
Do you prefer pink or peach blush? Peach – especially a golden peach.
Do you prefer green or gold eyeliner? This is tough – they both have their place, but I will go with gold because I think olive green would be a great liner, but yellow-green wouldn’t work for me.
– Skintone/ coloring: I am very fair, around a NW15 in winter and a N3 in summer
– Definitly plum – burgundy only on very rare occasions
– If I would wear blush – and I never, ever do that, blush looks really wierd on my face – I would probably go for a pink blush, wich works better with my cool to neutral undertones
– Green! I have a mixture of green, grey and blue eyes, so I love to wear green eyeshadow and eyeliner, it somehow enhances the green part in my eye very beautifully 🙂

Fair, Neutral
Plum
Pink
Green (emerald or jade–not olive)
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-Medium, Olive
Do you prefer plum or burgundy lipstick? Plum. Burgundy looks good, but tends to lean a little too brown and makes me look older.
Do you prefer pink or peach blush? Out of the two, pink. But I prefer neutral, muted (sometimes described as “dirty”) shades of pink like Nars Douceur. All of my blushes are kind of placid and subdued like that.
Do you prefer green or gold eyeliner? I actually can’t wear eyeliner…but I’d probably pick green, or a golden green (something like MAC Sumptuous Olive). Solid gold would look entirely too kitschy on me.

Do you prefer plum or burgundy lipstick? Burgundy
Do you prefer pink or peach blush? Peach
Do you prefer green or gold eyeliner? Gold
Skin tone/coloring: fair with neutral undertones (sometimes warm and sometimes cool)
Plum or burgundy: Either, but it depends on the shade specifically. I like burgundy without too much brown and I like plum that isn’t too too dark.
Pink or peach: Sigh…I can’t pick. I love both. I will say hot pink is a no go for me though. Light or medium pinks are good. I love peach, light, medium, and dark. The best for my skin is a mix of the two together, but either works.
Green or gold eyeliner: I love both, again ha ha. Antique gold, while it does look good with my eyes doesn’t do too much for my skin, so a more yellow or “true” gold, I suppose like the shade of a ring or something is best for me. And for green, well I like pretty much every green. For some strange reason, green liner/shadow seems to really bring out the blue in my eyes.
My eyes are blue/gray that sometimes look blue, gray, blue/gray, green, or blue/green. They’re like a chameleon or something, ha ha.
Skin Tone-
NW45
Lip color-
I’m honestly a sucker for both, but I’m in love with all burgundy lip colors.
Blush-
I cheat by using NARS Orgasm. The best of both worlds.
Eyeliner-
Gold.
Fair-light; extremely neutral, with dark hair & eyes.
I have no preference between the two, as I wear both pretty much equally. I prefer darker lip shades, and the darker the better.
Neither; I prefer mauve or plum shades.
Again, neither; I pretty much wear *only* black.
Medium Olive Skin Tone: MAC NC35, Hourglass Veil Fluid in “Sand” (which also happens to be my HG foundation)
I prefer plum lipsticks! Hourglass Nocturnal is next on my list.
Depending on my eyeshadow and lipstick I love to wear both pink and peach blushes equally.
Green or gold eyeliner? I don’t wear either of these regularly, unless the occasion calls for it. I will have to say green
Hi.
