Favorite red lipstick? Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Mrs. Mia Wallace. Hands down.
Favorite gold eyeshadow? I don’t really wear gold a lot, but I really like MAC’s Old Gold pigment.
Favorite silver eyeshadow? Not a big fan, either haha. The closest I get is mauve or taupe silvers like LORAC Chrome, UD Mushroom, etc.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair to light (between NC15 to 20)
Favorite red lipstick? Dior Rouge in 752 Rouge Favori. A very formal red to me.
Favorite gold eyeshadow? Can’t remember any… I don’t look good with them. It makes my eyes looks puffy and it’s hard to wear them down even by adding some layers, unless I use some matte brown. I prefer cool-toned eyeshadows overall.
Favorite silver eyeshadow?Ahhhh that’s another shade that I don’t normally use. I only have two from the Kat Von D Monarch eye palette, Delaney and Telepathy. Otherwise, shimmery pink and beige work generally well on me tho.

Favorite gold eyeshadow: Urban Decay Half Baked
Favorite silver eyeshadow: Mehron Silver metalic powder

■Favorite red lipstick? Stila Liquid Lip Color in Fiery
■Favorite gold eyeshadow? Still searching for one that I love. I’d like a rich, molten gold color eyeshadow, and I have yet to find one like that. Ardency Inn Heaven is beautiful though.

Silver Eyeshadow: Sephora Collection Diamonds are Forever
Your skin tone/coloring: light to medium warm
Favorite red lipstick? MAC Ruby Woo
Favorite gold eyeshadow? Sisley Phyto-Ombre Glow in Amber
Favorite silver eyeshadow? Hmmm, I don’t really have one, silver never really looks good on me.
Ooo yay I can actually keep it kind of concise-ish (for me…) this time!
-Skin Tone: Fairest porcelain, neutral undertone, cool features (platinum hair, blue/green eyes).
-Favorite Red Lipstick: My HG is Guerlain Rouge G in Gigolo (though I love all my Rouge G reds, this is my most-loved). My favorite classic non-Guerlain reds are Marc Jacobs Neo-Noir (gorgeous smoky cherry), Tom Ford Black Orchid (my precious!), NARS Future Red (best red-orange. Audacious Carmen is a wonderful dupe with more gloss), and a mix of Besame Cherry Red and Besame Red.
-Favorite Gold Eye Shadow: Hands down Sugarpill Goldilux. I love many golds but this is the be-all, end-all, multipurpose gold.
-Favorite Silver Eye Shadow: Harder for me. Urban Decay S&M and a few other UD silvers in single-form come to mind. Tiara from SP is also a good one but a bit too intense for me since I, like others, prefer patinated or off-colored silvers with interesting base or undertone colors.
Your skin tone/coloring: Yellow medium tan; NC40
Favorite red lipstick?: Don’t really have one, wait does MAC Burgundy lip liner count?
Favorite gold eyeshadow?: Dior Gold Touch, discontinued 🙁

Skin tone/colouring: fair, cool-toned

Favourite gold eyeshadow: no question it has to be NARS Kauai (the left side) followed by UD Half Baked
Favourite silver eyeshadow: I also don’t think I have one and those that come closest are probably KvD Delaney, TheBalm Insane Jane (though it’s really more taupe than silver) and MAC Dalliance (not sure if it really counts as “silver”)
Your skin tone/coloring: Light olive
Favorite red lipstick?: There’s a special spot in my heart for Avon Colordisiac in Red Hot Lips! It’s the first red I’ve ever worn, and I went through 7 tubes of it – it was the perfect everyday-goes-with-everything red to me!!
Favorite gold eyeshadow?: L’Oréal Infallible Goldmine. Such a gorgeous shade of light gold!
Favorite silver eyeshadow?: the silver shade in the Magic Voyage by Lancome palette, it’s a duty free exclusive – and it’s an absolute dream. The shade is the top right in the compact.

Favorite Red Lipstick: Currently Silk Naturals Crimson. It’s a deep blue-based red in a rip-your-enemey’s-throats-out kind of way. Currently I need Bite’s Scarlet like air, it’s a deep, dark, all-will-love-me-and-dispair red.
Favorite Gold Eyeshadow: Shiro Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist. It’s not my goldest-gold, but it has some lovely peachy orangeness to it and no harsh tones at all.

Favorite red: angel red by Clinique. GREAT shade that is definitely red, but has a nice muted softness to it. It also is very creamy & fades evenly…I HATE when dark lipstick leaves a ring as it fades! For red gloss, I live buxom lip cream in kir royal…slightly brownish plummy red.
