Favorite brow bone highlighter: Mac’s Bamboo.
I LOVE Bamboo! I feel like it totally doesn’t get enough love in the beauty community as it should. It’s pigmented, but sooo blendable. I’m super pale, and it works as an awesome lid color for me when I want to look “natural” but still bring some warmth. <3 Nice to know it works for a lot of different skin tones.
I agree, Bamboo is so nice and under appreciated. I’ve almost hit pan because I use it 2-3 times a week. Definitely a universal color!

Your skin tone/coloring: Revlon Colorstay 400 Caramel/ Covergirl Outlast Tawny/ NW 40
Favorite coral lipstick? Not a lipstick, but I love the Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in Cannes Crush — it’s sheer enough so I don’t look like I have neon lips, but just enough color that it warms the complexion.
Favorite pink blush? MAC Sheertone blush in Pink Swoon, and MAC Mineralize Blush in Giggly.
Favorite brow bone highlighter? I don’t use hightlighter under the brows, but I do like MAC Extra Dimension highlighter in Superb for the face in general.
MAC Nw 20 – 25
Coral Lipstick: MAC see sheer or Nars Niagara
Pink Blush: MAC Pinch O Peach, but it’s d/c’d.
Brow h/l: meh, not a huge fan, my brows sit pretty low so it can look sort of obvious. Usually just something super subtle like MAC Orb, or a slight shimmer like Shroom.
MAC C8, MUFE Camel
Smashbox Melondrama

Favorite pink blush?: I don’t use blush
Favorite brow bone highlighter?: I don’t use brow highlighter
Skin tone: I’m medium with neutral tones
Coral lipstick: Can’t actually do coral, because the pink tones have always been too cool for me haha!
Pink Blush: Bourjois Blush Exclusif (unfortunately, a Europe only brand)
Brow bone highlighter: It’s a tie between MAC’s msf Soft and Gentle, and Sephora + Pantone’s Spanish Villa from the Marsala Shimmering Cheek Trio
Your skin tone/coloring: Medium Warm
Favorite coral lipstick? Mac Vegas Volt
Favorite pink blush? Clinique Precious Posy
Favorite brow bone highlighter? I just use the shimmery color in the pallette i’m using atm.

Favorite coral lipstick? MAC Toying Around for every day YSL Peach Passion for dramatic-eyes days and Maybelline Shocking Coral for dramatic lips days.
Favorite pink blush? I haven’t found one I really like. I’m still looking for one that looks fresh on my skin but doesn’t make me look like my rosacea is coming out from under my foundation.
Favorite brow bone highlighter? MAC Vanilla or UD Strange. I don’t like a lot of shimmer as a brow bone highlight.
My skintone: NC 20, warm tone, yellow undertone
Favorite coral lipstick: Streak by Urban Decay

Skin tone: fair with slight pink undertones (Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk on 3.75, Nars Sheer Glow in
Mt. Blanc, MAC Mineralize Moisture in NW 15/20)
Coral lipstick: I don’t really like coral lipsticks, I look better in muted colors, but Estee Lauder’s Pure
Color Crystal Shimmer lipstick in Pure Papaya is a nice sheer coral that can be layered over
a brown toned pencil or lipstick to give it a summery glow
Pink Blush: Again, I prefer brown toned blushes, but Bobbi Brown’s Tawny blush is much brighter than it
used to be, and gives a nice pop of color over bronzer or a contour color such as MAC
taupe or sculpt, or Nars Zen. MAC’s Blushbaby is a very sheer blush but it is a warmer pink
blush, and MAC’s Cupid is a beigy pink for very fair skins.
Brow Bone Highlighter: My all time favorite is Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Eye Shadow Single in
Glittering Gold, although I will wear whatever light shade is in a palette that I’m using as
long as it goes with whatever color grouping being used.
MAC NC 50
It was MAC Cydi Viva Glam Lipglass. I need to find a dupe
I am on the hunt for one. I am thinking Clinique or NARS
I really don’t use one at this point. I am 47 years old and just concentrate on crease-to-lid colors
