peachy coral, peachy pink anything peachy
Same here! Peach shimmery eyeshadow, peach blush, peach lip gloss…especially if it’s peachy pink.
It’s a tie between a mauve or rose gold.
All shades of purple! Be it plum, violet, blurple, fuchsia, plummy-taupe, lilac (Nars Calisto), purple tinged browns, etc. I get kidded at my local MAC store about my thing for purple or purple-tinged products!
Catch is, that I’m not cool toned. But I love what it does for my eyes!
What cool-toned shadows do for your eyes is what warm-toned shades do for mine. My eyes are blue-grey and shadows that are orange and red-based REALLY bring out the blue! Sometimes, my eyes even look teal or aqua depending on what I’m wearing… and my mood.
Those too! Especially copper, orange-red, rose-golds, orange and rusty brown shades light up my eyes and face. Like I mentioned to Momo below, it was a pretty much a tie!
And I will wear the two color families together sometimes, too.
I can’t do pastel lavender lipsticks, but otherwise, I can rock almost all shades of purplein shadows, blushes, and lipsticks.
Plum
purple!! Purple shadows, purple lips, purple blush, purple liner! PURPLE
Burnt Orange / Copper.
The perfect complement to my dark, with a very yellow undertone, skin. Love it!
And a huge “Yes” to those shades for me as well, Momo! Copper, rose-gold, oranges, including orange-red, and rusty brown shades are nearly neck-in-neck with my range of purpley shades. Both work so beautifully with golden tan and olive shades of skintones!
Omg! You are saying all of my faves right now. I die for orange-reds. It’s just so beautiful!
Pinks of all kinds.
Rosy Browns! Warm, neutral and/or plummy!
Exactly the same for me!!!
I love cool pinks, light berries and pinky reds. They give life to my face!
Coral!
Mauve! Like a plummy mauve or a taupe mauve
Same here. That’s the only color family that I genuinely like on *both* my lips and eyes.
Either peachy corals, or slightly beige pinks – lips, cheeks, eyeshadows – it’s not even intentional 🙂
I’m the same I wear coral lips, eyeshadow and blush, same with peach and gold shades. 😉
I i do like to wear on the lips and eyes is teal/turquoises as well.
I don’t think you can be a makeup lover without being inspired by all colour, but I think my heart beats faster for cosmetics in strong deep shades in the purple/plum/burgundy spectrum.
Woohoo! Another plum! ?
Haha..makeup sister.. that made me smile 😀
Me 3
Smokey, grey-based pastel purple. I love them on the eyes and lips, just wish there were more lip options!
Brown.
Coral, burgundy, and purple!
Fuschia!
Brown and burgundy for me! I’ve recently become obsessed with burgundy eye makeup and brown is just a no-brainer
Cool pinks/berries. It lights up my complexion. I’ve learned that I can’t do warm colors. It makes my skin look blotchy or tired.
Is “shimmer” a color? 🙂
Hmmm… orange!
Plum for me!
And of course yay! Thanks for using one of my questions 🙂 excited to see the answers.
WOOHOOO! 3 plums now! ????
Score!
Pink ? makes the boys wink! Lol. Seriously though, I can wear pale pink on my eyes, and any shade pink on my cheeks and lips, as I have cool leaning towards neutral colouring. It also makes me feel happy and feminine.
Red or Nudes for lips, gold/green/brown for eyes, and natural blush shades.
Coral for me as well!
This question really doesn’t work for me, because my favorite lip colors look horrible as eye shadows on me. For lips, purples that lean pink look best; for cheeks, cool pinks; for eyes, blue violets (NOT red-violets or purples) and greens that lean a bit, but not too much, yellow (like light olive green). I like blue-violets on my lips as well as my eyelids, but find them challenging to wear on lips in daily life. I love color and try to find ways to wear them all.
Rose gold
Now, rose brown 😀 and teal, lol, i try
Mauve!
Ah, I can’t decide! I’d have to say peach, but I also swoon over burgundy in the fall and winter. Brown is a no-brainer, you can wear it easily on all features. I also adore copper, but I only wear it on my eyes so that doesn’t count. I think peach and burgundy are my choices.
probably plum. or maybe like a gray
Rose and plum
I agree with some other posts, mauve is definitely one of them. I’ve been getting into browns lately too, a neutral eye with dramatic eyeliner/lashes and a deep brown matte lip has been my go to!
Mauve, rosey browns just love them 🙂
neutral nudes and mauves but varying the undertone…
Plums, berries, and roses look the best with my fair complexion and all the silver grey hair that surrounds my face.
Mauves and golds. I can’t get enough of either one!
My first reaction was to say coral, but I don’t really wear corals on my eyes, so I’ll say purple! That’s a shade I love to wear on my lips, cheeks, eyes and nails!
purplish/plums
Berry, for sure.
The only color I can think of that I would actually wear in every product is taupe… I love purples, pastel to blackened, matte to shimmer, warm to cool, but I loathe most purples on the lips & *never* on the cheeks. The same with red, although I’m more willing to wear it on the lips, but am *extremely* picky with what shade/tone I wear…
Everything that is mauve, like a taupe purple or even a greyish purple. 🙂
Purple, black, and teal.
Either corals or plums/plummy mauves.
Peachy hued things, face eyes lips and nails
Coral or a rosy brown. <3
Purples, Oranges, Blues and Rose Gold. They look the best on me and I receive the most compliments when I wear them.
It used to be hands down ‘coral’ but lately it is ‘burgundy’. Fun question! ♥ Elle
Taupe
Red! Either warm or cool. I’m very pale with hazel eyes, so it’s very flattering on me.
Pink!
bronze :).
Red. Redredred. Red!
Purple!
Pink!
I guess I’d have to say purple — violet, plum, burgundy. I actually prefer warmer shades for my eyes as they bring out more of the blue in my blue-gray eyes, but I do wear a fair amount of cool-toned shadows.
Peachy or bronzy shades. Both so versatile!
Taupe! It’s so versatile. It goes with anything I’m wearing and also pairs well with other eyeshadow and/or liner colors.
Ha! I read the question as “eye makeup”. But I guess taupeish lips work as well since I like nudes and YLBB colors. LOL.
It’s a tie – Bronze and Burnt orange. If I buy one more orange blush….help me Lord.
It would be olive green for my eyes and chocolate brown for my lips.
I’m torn between really dark grey/taupe and purple. I guess to have more options, I’d have to pick purple!
Sizzlin’ hot Barbie PINK!!!
Berries/pinkish-plums and anything with gold tones 🙂
Plum
I can’t choose one but definitely: Plum, burgundy & berry
I’d say plum because I can wear it anywhere on any part of my face, eyes, or even hair!
Pink.
I, too have to say coral…it’s just such a happy, versatile color and looks good no matter what.
Pink pink and more pink
Tough one. I can think of colors I definitely like on eyes and cheeks, or lips and cheeks, but not lips, eyes, and cheeks. I think the closest I can get is plum. Or, maybe a grunge-like 90’s brown.
I adore a dirty shade of rose. Works well on my lips, cheeks and combined with brown/grey on my eyes.
Brown! Simple!
The true girlie girl over here loves some pink. Pink lipstick, blush, lipgloss, shadow. Like every shade of pink you can think of, from hot Barbie pink to sedate rose gold, I love it and wear it proudly.
Peachy colors!
Purples or purply pinks from the darkest shades to the most pastel!
Any and all variations/shades of purple
Wine/burgundy. It suits my fair skin the best. Works for my lipstick, blush, and nail polish. Pinks are just too subdued, and I need something that makes a statement. Reds with a blue undertone are good, too, but I think of the wine color as a sort of everyday color.
Red, mauve, or purple! (yes, I love red eyeshadow!)
Purples!!!
Shades of nude.
Hi guys,
To shadows: rose-brown. To lips: rose. To cheeks: peach.
xoxo
Purple! In all its forms!
