brown skin

hi,

i have a light *rather pale* brown skin and i was wondering is there cream to make my skin look more 'alive'? and pls recommend me a blusher to go well with my brown skin. thanks in advance. i checked some counter and they have mostly the pink ones.

I'm not sure if my colouring is like yours. I'm an NC35, Ettusais 31). I have yellow/olive skin with a lot of brown according to a makeup artist (no i'm not multi-coloured!).

These colours and colour families work very well for me:

peaches (universal shade that works for many skin tones)
corals
medium pinks
pink mauves or plum pinks, pink plums...you get the idea.

I steer clear from pastels because they wash me out without fail. Otherwise, your colouring should take a wide range of blush colours!

You know,if you were to go to one of those off counters at Mall where you can purchase you make-up powder like Maybelline or whatever make-up brand you use,there is usually a woman who stands there and assist patrons at her counters.
You can ask her to help you in geting the perfect make-up shade for you skin.
