One True Blush vivid cool rose, it's not quite neutral, as leans ever so slightly towards purplish
Everyday Lipcolor NARS Gothika is essentially my first favorite lipcolor (Jane Loco Cocoa) all grown up: a burnished rose with soft gold shimmer, with substantial berry undertones a slight browned peachiness—so superbly balanced that it supplants all other lipcolors
Intense Lipcolor except when I desire drama, in which case Giorgio Armani Armanisilk #46 Bordeaux, a creamy raspberry-tinged crimson (cool, but more subdued than a purplish blue-red) that flatters exemplarily
Smoky Liner the easy-smudge formula of MAC Teddy Kohl, with its better-than-basic sable shimmer, pairs with absolutely everything
"Fleshtone" Eyecolor the silvered champagne of NARS All About Eve may look a boring beige, but the conglomerate of many shimmers (silver, beige, peach, gold, even pink and green) mimics light itself
Complementary Eyecolor for something fresh and pretty, I trade in Chanel Lavande as a wash, an ethereal lilac of stunning complexity that goes not the way of inferior lilacs: over-frosty, superpastel, too blue, too pink, delicate but not ephemeral
Contrasting Eyecolor the moody sea blue of L'Oréal HIP Sassy is gorgeously edgy as liner (applied over black pencil, thusly included), especially in concert with the brown of my eyes
