Im NW15 and I pretty much wear what ever I want. Do the same for you. Whatever you feel comfortable in. Honestly lighter colors dont work as well for me cause its too close to my own skin tone. I have a hard time with nude lips and light pink. I love RED! and corals and plums. Some of my favorite shades are MAC Ruby Woo, Plum Dandy, Fluid, New York Apple, lickable for starters. Hope you find some you like!
