Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite red lipstick? Chanel Pirate, Smashbox Red Rage, UD Mrs. Mia Wallace and Jilted, Clarins Redwood Rouge Prodige (I could go on but it’s a bit ridiculous)
Favorite coral blush? I don’t have one – I don’t look great in coral, though I can get away with Benefit Coralista if I have to…
Favorite green eyeshadow? Again, how to pick just one? When there’s such a huge range of greens? Inglot 419, Stila La Douce, MAC Sumptuous Olive, Humid and Steamy, The Balm Jealous Jordana, UD The Sight, Damaged and Stash, Dior Bonne Etoile #1. Again, I could go on as could many of you, I’m sure.
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite red lipstick? Bite Beauty Virgo (for a more berry toned red) and Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 01 for a true red.
Favorite coral blush? Natasha Denona Mini Bloom Highlighting Blush. Ah, it’s so lovely.
Favorite green eyeshadow? Clionadh Verte! I mean, technically it’s a multichrome, but on me it’s predominantly green. 😊
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite red lipstick? If matte, MAC Ruby Woo. If vivid, YSL Scout’s Red. If cream/satin, MAC Yoni Crush, metallic, UD Daenerys Targaryen.
Favorite coral blush? MAC Spring Flock, Nars Fetishized, and Nabla Truth.
Favorite green eyeshadow? Chanel Empriente du Desert #3, Sydney Grace Commission, Green Mango, Cadet, Mantis and Borealis. Clionagh Trefoil and Embroidery, and Huda Black Jaguar #1 and #6 and from Emerald #1, #3, #4, #7 and #8. I know there’s others I absolutely love and enjoy using… because greens and purples!
Your skin tone/coloring: Pale-yellowish, dark red hair, blue eyes
Favorite red lipstick? Pat McGrath Elson 2 (wearing it today…. so perfect!), Lancome Bad Blood Ruby, NYX Monte Carlo soft matte lip cream, L’Oreal I Am Worth It Signature Matte Rouge Ink (I think that is the name?), Kaleidos Smeared Rouge. I am a big-time red lip lover!!
Favorite coral blush? In my advent calendar this past Christmas I got a Made by Mitchell Blursh (liquid blush) in Peach Sugar… I don’t really know anything about the brand, but this is a lovely pinky-coral with some shimmer. I also love the Bare Minerals bounce & blur blush in Coral Cloud but I think those are discontinued now 🙁
Favorite green eyeshadow? Is it a cop out to say all of them? I think Beauty Bay does lovely and affordable greens in their palettes and those are what I’d recommend to a beginner with greens, and then indies like Clionadh or ShinebySD for something a little more advanced/flashy. But really, IDK if I have ever met a green I didn’t like at least a little!!
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, almost-black hair with natural silver highlights
Favorite red lipstick? Chanel Pirate
Favorite coral blush? The closest I have to coral is Clinique Cheek Pop in Peach, which is one of my very favorite and most-used blushes.
Favorite green eyeshadow? MAC Sumptuous Olive
Skin tone/coloring: Light neutral, leaning warm
Favorite red lipstick: It’s actually new, a freebie I got from doing one of my last Back to MAC exchanges: MAC Matte in Forever Curious. It’s described as a pinky red, but on my winter pale skin it shows up as more of a true red. I previously didn’t like MAC’s Matte formula because I find it very drying, but a light coating of Vaseline underneath helps with that (and sometimes a light coat on top as well), and my older lips appreciate that the Matte formula is not prone to bleeding or feathering.
Favorite coral blush: MAC Fleur Power.
Favorite green eyeshadow: Urban Decay Stash, to go along with their 24/7 Stash eyeliner. It was discontinued but they brought it back in their Wild Greens palette and it makes my heart happy!
OMG Brandi – I have just purchased that blush and it’s great to read that it is your favourite.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite red lipstick? Now that I am wearing red lipsticks, I have a few to my name. My favourite is Shiseido’s Visiionary Gel lipstick in Lantern Red, Firecracker, and Ginza Red
Favorite coral blush? I love coral pinky kind of blushes – I think my best one was The Balm’s Hot Mama
Favorite green eyeshadow? Like most of us here – who positively adore green eyeshadows, it’s hard to pick one (or several), but here are my favourites:
Olive Green – CT’s The Rebel Shade 2, bareMinerals Eureka and Spectacular
SG’s Cadet and Commision
Forest Greens: Lorac’s Evergreen from Fairytale Forest
Mint: Dior’s Bonne Etoile Shade 1, Earthbound from On the Horizons Light palette
YOUR SKIN TONE/COLORING:
Under my name; dark plum hair: hazel/green eyes.
FAVORITE RED LIPSTICK?
Black Moon Cosmetics Black Metallic Liquid Lipstick in DeVille, Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipcolor in Capricious, and Seraphine Botanicals Vegan Berry Tint Natural Liquid Blush for Lips & Cheeks in Cherry Berry.
FAVORITE CORAL BLUSH?
Estee Lauder Limited Edition Pure Color Envy Blush in Rebellious Rose.
