How can you tell good makeup colors for your skin?

I'm looking for a guide to tell me which shades of makeup work best for my skin tone. I'm sorta between olive-fair skinned (not too dark, but not pale porcelain white, either). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Serious replies only, nothing inappropriate, please!How can you tell good makeup colors for your skin?
You can go to any local makeup store and ask for a professional opinion. You might have to buy some of their products but usually they're answers will be more helpful than the Internet. Good luck! =)How can you tell good makeup colors for your skin?
get the book ';hair and makeup'; by maria claire. i have all her beauty books, and they really help... ok so ive done modeling, so i know a lot about makeup. if your complection is light, dont try dark eyeliner because it wont look natural. i think with your shade of skin, you should try brown eyeliner. do not use bright colored eye shadow. try using a deeper red lipgloss (this will make your lips look bigger) or perhaps a thin lip liner. try a light bronzer, this will make your complection look a lot nicer. if you would like a guide to makeup, i highley suggest maria claire, her books have detailed descriptions and step by step instructions. they also have wonderful pictures.


hope that helped! xoxo ** Janna**
well i think if you use shadows, any color would look good, besides black or charcol grey. just keep it light, you dont want to much, or else youd look like a drag. i love purples, golds, a silverish shimmer. all pastel colors.... never put dark blue, it always reminds me of the lady in drew carey lol
Gold shades will look good on you. If you are talking about eye shadow and eye liner, I would suggest deep green and brown-
