I also wear black all the time (at least black shirts every day), so picking makeup can be a bit of a challenge with all the stuff I have. I've sort of set up this system where I start with whatever the first product that comes to my mind that I'd like to wear is(something I neglect or something I love), usually an eyeshadow or Pigment (today it was Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow). From there, I just start grabbing things that I know look good with it (a bunch of purples today). Once I have a bunch of other shadows, I systematically pick the two or three that I like the best (Violet and Grape Pigment), and then pick an eyeliner (Macroviolet) and brow highlight (Pollen). Once I've done my eye makeup and foundation, I sort of "see" what blush (Breath of Plum and Good as Gold Pearlizer) and lipstick (just some Instant Gold Lustreglass) would go well with it, sort of like a psychic intuition (it's hard to explain, but when I get in the makeup zone, suddenly the right combo comes to me), and then do that. That's probably not helpful, but that's what I do.
