Cosmetic & Colours Recommended For Chinese Skin

I was wondering whether anyone could recommend me some good products and colours for my skin colouring. I'm not sure what number I am for MAC but I'm Bobbi Brown 3.5 Warm Beige. There's a photo of me in my profile for an overall look.

I like MAC eyeshadow - Creme de violet - frost which I think suits me but I'm not too keen on Moon Reflection. I haven't found a blue tone that I like yet. Other good eyeshadows are L'Oreal's Trio Colour Appeal in Beige Pink and Bodyshop's Eye Shimmer in Violet - 6.

I'm currently using Bobbi Brown's Cream Blush Stick in Desert Rose which isn't bad. I also have a Shu Uemura in P Pink 30 and I quite liked Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush in Iced Lotus in the past which made me look younger.

Lip colours are currently Bobbi Brown's Soft Rose Lipstick with their Lip Shimmer in Rose Sugar. It's much browner than I'm used to and the Lip Shimmer is a bit too sticky for my liking. I liked Benefit's Miss Priss lipgloss in the past, which I don't think they do anymore.

That's an idea of the colours I'm used to wearing. I was hoping someone can introduce to me to some more. I find it hard to buy nice eyeshadows and have yet to find a really decent lip colour on me.

I'd like something that is not too subtle and not too strong for everyday. I tend to go stronger on lip colour than on my eyes. By the way, I'm 18 years old, just an indicator of the colours that would suit my age too.

Plus does anyone know of a decent Compact Powder Foundation for Dry & Sensitive skin and a good brown pencil eyeliner?

Hi! I'm asian too but I'm not familiar with BB foundations so I don't really know how far your skintone differs from mine. For the record, I'm a NC20 in SFF, but I'm sure that means nothing to you. =)

Foreyeshadows, I really like purples as I find they compliment our dark brown eyes. The few I would reccomend would be Satellite Dreams, Li'lily (sp?), mancatcher, stars and rockets and nocturnelle. If your use pigments, violet, entremauve, grape and lovely lily are nice.

Since you mentioned you're 18, and prefer to go for stronger lips, some neutrals may be nice for a day to day look too! I personally love woodwinked, tempting, mulch, gorgeous gold... and many more. There're also many nice neutral pigments such as naked, chocolate brown, coco beach, shimmertime etc etc. Go to the counter and test out the various colours! You're sure to find somthing you like! =)

Another one of my fave combi's for eyes is to pair golds with teals/blues! I use different colours each time so I don't think theres a rule to which gold and blue you use, so try it out for yourself!

I'm not big on lippies so I'm no help there, but I'm sure someone can give fab reccomendations. Btw all I've reccomended above are from MAC, cos' thats pretty much the only brand i use.

Oops, I talk wayyyyy too much. =( hope you find ur perfect colours! just dont be too afraid to try new stuff =)
