Your skin tone/coloring: fair, warm, blue eyes, light brown leaning copper hair
Last pink-colored product you wore? UD Lovelight is pinky peach so am going with that. With my coloring, pink per se doesn’t look good on me. Still, am going to try CP Wattles next.
Last lavender-colored product you wore? Junior high school, probably a Cover Girl something.
Last purple-colored product you wore? MJ highliner in jazzberry. Wearing it today. I know, it got a poor review and for good reasons; I just really love the color and there are no dupes, so I try to work with it.

Last pink-colored product you wore? It was a fuchsia pink, YSL Tint-in-Oil Volupté lipstick in Saint-Germain.
Last lavender-colored product you wore? I have this cream eyeshadow from Sephora from a few years back, I think it was part of a Sephora + Pantone collection, that is lavender with a green shift, and I’ve been wearing it quite often this spring!
Last purple-colored product you wore? A 24/7 pencil liner from Urban Decay, can’t remember the name of the shade right now!

NC 30 (medium warm)

Pink: Estée Lauder Pure Envy lipstick in Powerful (one of my all-time favorite pinks, I’m wearing it today)

Lavender: Urban Decay eye shadow in asphyxia with Freakshow in crease and Hot Pants in inner corner (love this combo)

Purple: I think MAC’s Have Your Cake would probably qualify.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with yellow and olive undertones.

Last pink-colored product you wore? Charlotte Tilbury’s Love is the Drug blush. Such a beautiful shimmery pink blush. It looks scary bright but is so easy to apply lightly and blend.

Last lavender-colored product you wore? ABH Macaroon. LOVE this color! Wore it with a pinky-toned matte color (MUG Cupcake) in the crease and a dark burgundy (MUG Bitten) in the outer corners.

Last purple-colored product you wore? ColourPop’s Piggy Bank liner. It can pull pink in the waterline but lasts for a long time!

Last pink-colored product you wore? Clinique Plum Pop blush (wore it today, in fact)
Last lavender-colored product you wore?/strong> I don’t really do lavender – probably the closest would be Nars Lhasa Too Faced Cut the Cake (discontinued, in the Romantic Eye palette – a shame they d/c’d that one)
Last purple-colored product you wore? Hmmm – probably Too Faced Black Currant (from Chocolate Bon Bons) or Candied Violet (from the original Chocolate Bar palette)

Oh yay! Happened to be a day where I’m wearing all these colors 🙂

Skin Tone/Coloring: Vampire (Fairest Neutral Porcelain a la Bobbi Brown Alabaster/Porcelain, KVD L42, Guerlain Beige Pale, Tom Cream Cream, etc) with cool-leaning features (eyes, hair, lips)
Last Pink: Yesterday I wore Madame Reve (Rouge G in gorgeous juicy pink) earlier in the day and Provactive (Rouge G in bright red-pink fuchsia). Today pink is represented with a baby pink cream blusher (MUFE 210).
Last Lavender: Bite’s Lavender Jam garnered lots of compliments from the hair/makeup departments today 🙂 Love this color so much. Yesterday I wore the Chris Chang Cream Colour Base in “Sock it Xiqu” (fresh, true lavender in the pan that blends out to a slightly pinkier-lavender) on the cheeks and a bit as a base coat for lips.
Last Purple: Of course Sock It Xiqu and Lavender Jam count, but I’ve got a more proper purple on with MAC’s Night Crawler pencil as a base (darkens up Lavender Jam a touch but works very nicely). Yesterday I had UD Rockstar liner on as well as Chris Chang’s Plum Princess (gray-plum lavender) earlier and Bite’s Taro later. Surprisingly, I’ve worn somewhat neutral eyes the last few days so no purple shadows, weirdly for me.
