It looks like a great match. ;) I like the lippie, too.

I like all of your shadow choices. They are definitely on the coolish side, but should go well. I tried on Very Berry yesterday for the first time. Usually I can't wear lippies that cool of a pink, but somehow it worked. I think you will like it.

You know Jen, actually i can now see from our pics taht we have the same udnertone, even if I am much darker! So I will look at your make-up for inspiration
;-). Seems like we both like slightly blueish colors.

The lippie is not from SN, it is from Chanel, it is called Waikiki Number 31. I had been looking for this neutral rose for ages! But Lancome is so expensive and honestly SN quality is better, softer and more buttery! Would be great if Karen would dupe it, if enough pple like it!

Shirin I love your look, very natural but polished, you look great!
And I love your lippie, too.

I'm not the best at giving color advice, but definitely get Idolize, it's amazing and I think you'll love it because, well, everybody does, and that's not surprising as it's gorgeous and suits just about anyone; I've tried it on a few friends, no matter what skintone & eye color, they all loved it and everybody looked great :)

Have fun trying all these new shadows!

I agree. I'm more of a Fair-Medium (although this pic makes me look quite tanned).

In case anyone wants to know, I'm wearing:

Eyes - Breathe + Frenchie + Velvet

Cheeks - Tart

Brows - Light Brunette

Nice! I do recognise Tart, looks the same comor on me although our skin tone is different!

Where on your eyes are you wearing Breathe? As a liner? the liner is most lavender to me? Your lips have a real beautiful color to them naturally, a bit like Tart, hehe. ;)

It is really interesting to see different skin tones next to each otehr, helps to distinguish one's own skin tone. I can see the warm gold in you which is definitely missing in my skin.

I've got Breathe on my crease -- or my "fake" crease, cuz I'm monolid, so i just draw in the crease :D I've also got it on my inner corner of my lower lid. I don't think the photo does it justice. The dark purple color is Velvet. I LOVE it. I think my new kick is purples!

Yes, i see now, pics are hard to guess for colors, colros don't show as much. You know I have monolids too, kind of, I think I have some asian traits left in my genes, 7 generations back we had someone from Tibet in our family, isn't taht interesting :-)!

Wow, Tibet! That's exotic. I don't think you have a monolid. I definitely see a double eye lid in your picture above. Its rather confusing though. Because I had someone tell me that there's "socket line" and there's "crease". And apparently, the "socket line" is the line that makes the double eye lid, but the "crease" is the indentation around your eye ball. Am I making sense? Cuz I don't even understand it myself. Haha!

Yeah, i don't know these terms, but it makes sense. Because I don't have a monolid as such as you say, however I don't have a usual doublelid either, perhaps very little crease.
