Re: Suggestions for a one color wash shadow for deeper skint

Ooooh, im checking out those shades right now....i think you and i like similar shades for blush !
I think for lipsticks, deep plums/ dark pinks/ brownish pinks look the best on me. As you can see in the pics, my lips are pretty pigmented; so lighter colors end up washing me out.
As for blushes, i have read that peachy/orangey shades seem to be a favorite for darker skintones but i personally don't like it too much on myself (makes me look darker, i feel).
I've realized i prefer reddish/ plummish/ deep rose-pinkish blush shades for myself.
i like maybelline's crazy for coffee, MAC's brick o la with brown lip liner, Revlon's chocolate velvet with brown liner, etc. Oh, and im a lipstick gal; not too fond of sticky/ heavy feeling glosses
You sound like you are waaay lighter than me
; I live in the middle east. Liquids feel heavy on my combo-oily skin and powders feel sooo much better.
