Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

So as part of my wedding preparations I have recently organized all my make-up in key colors … and thinking of only buyng the new stuff based on the key colors that possibly suit me the most … please tell me if I am missing out on a color or need to edit some :

Pink
Greenish Blue
Silverish white
Gold

Since my skin tone is fair with pale or yellow undertones …

What do you guys think?

blacks, nudes/beiges/browns?

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit …

Sara, I tried them a few times , they just dont suit me … when i wear browns and beige , It makes me look even more paler !

so I try to stay away from the natural skin shades … :bummer:

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

there are nudes that will suit every skin tone. HMmmmmmmm

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

CB: I'm white as a ghost, and i use nude colours for my daily makeup, so that is no excuse!! Nudes suit everyone... and every girl needs browns and beigey colours in her makeup kit, you just need to find the right shades for you... :) when i apply darker eye shadows i always lightly sweep some bronzer across the areas of my face that the light catches to avoid looking washed out... go to a makeup counter that you like and ask them to apply some browny eyeshadows on you... trust me you'll look fab... and it''ll give you an idea on what sort of nude shades suit you :)

Bronzey and coppery brown eyeshadows are great also... you can brush the colour on lightly for day or really intensify it for night... these colours are a true makeup kit staple...

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit …

Actually you may be right, I should get it done by a professional to see if it suits me or not :hmmm: ..infact i will go to to one soon and get it done ..its a good idea Maroush

Sara , Maroush , do you guys mix the neutral shades with other colours or just apply them on their own ?

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

i dunno i dont usenudes :D

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit …

What :eek: … why not?

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

i mix them and they look amazing even though i have sanwali skin - make sure you get coppers and gold's too.. theyre amazing on the eyes. the glittered eyeliners work wonders if u dont want to put on a lot of makeup and just want to go with a smokey look and brighter eyes.
Lilac, purples, bright blue, sea green, and moonlight white wud look good! make sure you definitely get it done professionally. I never thought blues would look good on me but amazingly they did and i believed in it only after i let MAC makeup artists take over!
so go to sephora or MAC.. theyre awesome!

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

you should get a coastal scents shimmery palette you'll be happy.

Re: Basic colors in the makeup kit ...

Sweet, I think this is a brilliant product that you recomended , but i am based in the UK and with the shippng cost included , it becomes overly expensive ....

I guess i will get this one when i visit the states :@:
