I like MAC foundation, but if it doesn't work for you, go to Sephora. There, you will find a variety of cosmetic lines. Have an expert apply foundations on you and help you select the appropriate shade. Note, you will not find MAC at Sephora.
I really like MAC eye shadows and lipsticks. MAC has a small range of matte lipsticks. If you want a nice pink matte lipstick from MAC, try Taupe. It's neutral shade compliments many skin tones, including Desi, and it's quite popular. There is a nice matte brown shade as well (think its called Chelsea) that I plan to buy in the near future.
Hopefully you won't go over board, because if you're looking for neutral shades, you can't purchase many. Cuz there are only a few neutral shades to begin with.
Instead of buying on impulse, try the shades out in the store first to see which ones you like. That'll save u time and money. For eye shadows, as opposed to buying just one........buy a single compact of **multiple **eye shadows that will apply to you. You can buy a compact that contains neutral colors, or bold colors. Have the expert at the store direct you according to your needs.
Thanks...I always do that go to the store get whatever i like on display and then later on i keep on regretting..this time i have made a list and i will go and check the stuff on the list first and then buy it.
