Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite green eyeshadow? it’s actually a glittery green to purple/pink shifting duochrome from Fyrinnae called Fantasy Creatures.
Favorite plum lipstick? PMGL Luxetrance in Beautiful Creature.
Favorite everyday blush? Glossier Cloud Paint in Beam.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertone, dark brown hair and eyes
Favorite green eyeshadow? MAC Humid, as far I know it was discontinued, couldn’t find a better replacement
Favorite plum lipstick? How dark can we go? 😆 Either MAC Plumful for something light, either going up to MAC Rebel
Favorite everyday blush? MAC Harmony
MAC Humid is still available in Canada (are are All That Glitters – I nearly collapsed when I read on MUA, I think, that it was discontinued – and Sumptuous Olive). I have to say that for a lot of reasons (including eyeshadow), it’s great to be Canadian!
It was unavailable a couple of months back when I tried to repurchase it, but now it seems available again. So I take my words back. ?
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite green eyeshadow? MAC Humid and Steamy; UD Dragon and Damaged (if I stall a bit more and think about it, I can probably add 3 or 4 more to the list)
Favorite plum lipstick? MAC Plumful and Craving (does Craving count as plum?)
Favorite everyday blush? Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush or MAC Sweet Sentiment Mineralize Blush (same answer as every single other time!)
Your skin tone/coloring: pale-warm, blue eyes, dark hair
Favorite green eyeshadow? I like them all I think? I reach for Tarte Martini a lot, which is an olive-y gold, but really, I never met a green I didn’t like. Herky Bird from Sydney Grace is quite nice too.
Favorite plum lipstick? Sephora Labyrinth City. I don’t really go for plums all that much, so I had to really think about it.
Favorite everyday blush? Illamasqua Naked Rose, which has been my go-to for years. Lotte London Justin is another that I wear when I can’t really think of anything else as well.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair).
Favorite green eyeshadow? Several! Ace Beauté Oceanic Palette Jellyfish, MAC Jealousy Wakes, and Savant.
Favorite plum lipstick? PML Executive Realness and UD Crisis.
Favorite everyday blush? Again, several! Essence Satin Love, MAC Sweet Vision or Cheek Pollen. If I’m wearing a cool-toned lipstick, then I almost always reach for UD Rapture.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair with turquoise side shave; hazel/green eyes.
Favorite green eyeshadow? Too many! Any by Sydney Grace; any by Igneous Cosmetics; Melt Chronic; NARS Matcha; ColourPop Deja Boo; UD Thrash, Dragon, Kush, and C Note; Pat McGrath VR Emerald; MAC Sumptious Olive and Savant; Coloured Raine Level Up and Squad. The greens in Juvia’s Place The Tribe Palette. All of the Give Me Glow Juicy Olive and ColourPop Just My Luck palettes.
Favorite plum lipstick? Urban Decay Sheer Rapture (DC, RIP) and Sabotage; ABH Dead Roses; Uoma Bahia; Bobbi Brown Luxe Lip Color in Bond.
Favorite everyday blush? Tarte Exposed; Physician’s Formula Butter Blush in Plum Rose; MAC Pink Cult; Milani Rose Powder Blush in Coral Cove; theBalm Balm Desert.
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20
Favorite green eyeshadow? MAC Sumptuous Olive
Favorite plum lipstick? ABH Dead Roses or Revlon HD Gel Arabica or Shisedo Gel Tint Balm in Juniper
Favorite everyday blush? Origins Pinch Your Cheeks Blush in Rose Dust or Cliniqie Nude Pop or MAC Extra Dimension Blush in Hushed Tone
Your skin tone/coloring: —fair-light neutral
Favorite green eyeshadow?— None so far
Favorite plum lipstick?—Estee Lauder 440 berry provocative (gloss) Viseart fluer. Both seem to be gloss tho . Need lipstick recommendation
Favorite everyday blush?—By Terry is a love. But don’t want to use everyday to save. Ha
I would say My Persona Cosmetics everyday
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool skin (foundation matches: Fenty Pro Filt’r 110, Urban Decay All Nighter 2.5, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear 2.0 Mont Blanc, Kevyn Aucoin The Etherealist Light EF 02, L’Oreal True Match C3 Creamy Natural), gray eyes, brown hair with red highlights and scattered blonde/blue strands. My everyday base products are Fenty-Amber Match Stick as cheek contour and Pro Filt’r concealer and Soft Matte foundation in 110.
Favorite green eyeshadow? I like quite a few green eyeshadows, but UD Freak will always hold a special place in my heart.
Favorite plum lipstick? As Stephanie pointed out, Sephora Labyrinth City. I wasn’t sure if I had any plum lipsticks until I saw her comment!
Favorite everyday blush? Any of several Tarte shades-Unstoppable (discontinued), Paaarty, Dollface, or Blushing Bride.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favourite green eyeshadow? Now that is tricky, because I LOVE green eyeshadows, so I won’t be able to leave it at one….
Forest Greens: UD Damaged, Cadet bu SG, Golden Emerald by L’Oreal
Olive Greens: Dior’s 3 Couleurs in Khaki (olive green and olive brown); Chanel’s Tisse D’ Automne Shade 2 – light olive, Spectacular from bareMinerals The Scenic Route;
Mint Green: Dior’s Bonne Etoile # 5 and Jardin palette
Favourite overall green palette – Lancome’s Jade Fever and the original The Rebel by CT.
I have more, but these are ones that come to mind a lot because I use them nearly every week.
Favourite plum lipstick? I don’t wear plum lipsticks as such, because a) they all turn pink on me and b) they are too dark or cool toned to work with my complexion. I do have a few berry kind of shades, which are in this lipstick family:
Bite Beauty: Nori and MAC Marrakesh both turn berry on me.
Gade – Berry Noir – a mid tone berry
Favourite everyday blush? Clinique’s Melon Pop.
Favorite green eyeshadow? I haven’t experimented with greens as much as I’d like, but my personal favorite is Chimerical from Devinah. Not sure if they still make it though. For something I do know is still available, a close second would have to be Wanderlust from the Urban Decay Born to Run palette.
Favorite plum lipstick? Bite Beauty’s Amuse Bouche in Virgo, yet another discontinued item. A runner-up that’s still around is Sephora #Lipstories in Golden Gate.
Favorite everyday blush? Space Case’s blush in It’s Not Me, It’s My Sign is my favorite cream option, for powder I’d go with either Tarte’s Quirky or Pixi’s Peach Parfait.
