Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Favorite warm-toned lipstick? you’re joking, right? I guess the warmest toned lipstick I have is Guerlain Habit Rouge
Favorite cool-toned blush? just the one? Oh dear…well, it’s between MAC Sweet Sentiment and Tarte Natural Beauty (I’m SO boring in this regard!)
Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow? Oooh – this is even tougher than the blush question! Probably the (now discontinued) Too Faced Velvet Revolver (from the original Natural Eye palette) or Inglot 349 or MUFE S556 Taupe Grey. I could probably list about 20 more, to be honest, as neutral eyeshadows are my drug of choice.

Your skin tone/coloring: fair/light warm (NC15)

Favorite warm-toned lipstick? my favorite all time lipstick is MAC Relentlessly Red. That’s warm, right? I think it could go either way, but it pulls warm on me anyway. I also like the color of Clique by ColourPop, but I find the CP formula tends to slide around my lips and I end up getting a ring around my mouth – clown lips!

Favorite cool-toned blush? I think I don’t own a single cool blush! Yikes! Maybe the little blush portion of the TF Soul Mates Bronzer is a little cooler, but I think it’s more neutral and I just use it swirled in with the bronzer portion anyway.

Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow? I think I’m going to say MUG Latte. It runs slightly warm on it’s own but I’m warm toned so it looks more neutral on me. I use it literally every single time I wear eyeshadow; it goes with everything!

Favorite warm-toned lipstick? MAC La Vie En Rouge…I am OBSESSED!
Favorite cool-toned blush? NARS Couer Battant
Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow? Can’t answer this…I’m a warm kinda a girl and when I’m not, it’s straight cool tone. I don’t do the in between.

I knew you had good taste! 🙂 It’s gorgeous. I get more compliments when I wear it than just about any other shade.

Rachel R. Avatar

I guess my shadows are more cool than neutral, but I don’t really have a favorite true neutral. May MUFE Taupe Gray (It’s great for a true taupe)? Or the bottom row of the Tartelette palette. *shrugs*

Favorite warm-toned lipstick? Ilia These Days, Julep Electric Coral
Favorite cool-toned blush? Alima Pure Raspberry, Dior Rosy Glow 001 Petal
Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow? I don’t really have a favorite… UD Naked3 Palette or Alima Pure Luminous Shimmer ES in Brown Sugar. Once I get around to playing with the Viseart neutral matte palette it may well become a favorite.

Your skin tone/coloring: hella light, a bit warm

Favorite warm-toned lipstick? coral shades, I particularly like MAC Crosswires

Favorite cool-toned blush? Tarte Exposed or Hourglass Mood Exposure (although I don’t know if they’re cool toned…)

Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow? The Naked2 Basics palette springs to mind, and some shades from MAC

I seriously need some info on cool toned/warm toned. Can find tons of stuff about skin tones, but like none about makeup when I google it. If anyone has any info I’d welcome the education.

Skin tone/coloring: Warm toned and I’m a NC15-20 (depending on season)
Favorite warm toned lipstick: Fiend by Urban Decay

Favorite warm-toned lipstick?: Nars Audacious in Anita
Favorite cool-toned blush?: Clinique Blush in pink love
Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow?: UD tease maybe? (it’s a bit tricky to work with but it’s great for crease work) and Satin Taupe (is that neutral?)

Skintone/Coloring: Fairly light, very neutral; dark-featured.

Warm Lipstick: I don’t do “warm” lips… I guess NYX Honey (round, black tube)…?

Cool Blush: MAC Brit Wit; I also use it as a contour.

Neutral Eyeshadow: Oh wow… Sooo many to choose from, LOL! I’m going to assume it’s something other than a transition shade, so I’ll go with NARS Ondine. I swear my dark brown eyes literally glow when I wear this!

Favorite warm-toned lipstick? MAC Chili and So Chaud!
Favorite cool-toned blush? Tarte Blushing Bride
Favorite neutral-toned eyeshadow? Ummm, does MAC Patina count? I kind of consider UD Lounge to be natural, because you can either play up the blues or the brick red shift.

Skin tone: fair with olive tones. The poor girl matching me for concealer today couldn’t really describe my skin tone ‘you’re like a medium tone only fair’.
Favourite warm lipstick: MAC Lady Danger
Favourite cool blush: MAC Harmony (it’s my go to contour, so maybe that’s cheating. Maybe MAC Cubic too)
Neutral eyeshadow: UD Mushroom and MAC Patina, I think they both pull a bit warm on me.

NW 20 – 25

Warm lippie: MAC so chaud is the warmest I have that I actually like

Cool Blush: MAC peony petal

Neutral Eyeshadow: that’s a tough one. I’ll go with a combo I put together for this purpose: Naked lunch all over lid, Shroom as a highlight, Sable on outer third, Malt in the crease to blend, Mystery on outer V and to smudge over black liner
