NC45's which shades/products do you swear by?

[Blushbaby]

Am looking for ideas and just wanted to know which shades and products all you fellow NC45's swear by!!

I love MAC's Chai and C-thru lipglasses with clear lipglass over the top.

I really want a metallicy/shimmery purple shadow - but haven't a clue which one to go for. Something I can team well with nude lips.

Raizin, Breath of Plum, Harmony and Blushbaby are just some of the blushes I seem to use the most.

Share your recs with me!!

Thank you!

My mom's NC45, and she wears tan pigment and tempting as her everyday look. She's obsessed with my Hot Tahiti lipstick and my NARS Malibu multiple.

I don't know of any shadows, but I own deep purple and entremauve pigments. The deep purple is more metallic and can be shimmery both wet and dry. To me, it's a very good color to compliment pink and lilac colored shadows.

And the entremauve is shimmery when wet or dry. I don't see metallic so much in entremauve, though. Entremauve is my favorite pigment, too.

By the way, the pigments are made by MAC and I'm NW45 in MAC's SFF.

NC44/45

- Blot Powder in Medium Dark!!
- Studio touch up stick

im more of a less is more type of person. Now with colors, it depends on what you like to see on yourself and how colorful you want to be. im all for anything that looks beautiful - smokey, earth tones, purples (e.g beauty marked), pinks (e.g rose, pink opal), greens, blues etc

NC 43 in StudioFix but I have worn NC45 in other foundations.

I don't wear purples much but I do love and own Idol Eyes (purple/blue with gold undertones). I also have Amethyst (lustre purple color) and Banshee (warm light lilac/mauvey lustre).

Other colors I like:

Blushes: Sunbasque, Margin, Style,

Eyeshadows- Sweeten up, Tempting, Gleam, Greensmoke - pretty much all the lustre eyeshadows.

Lipglosses- Savoire Faire, Corps de Ballet, Sunnyboy, Lychee Luxe, Entice, VGV and VGVI

Lipsticks - I don't buy these too often and the ones I do love are usually limited edtions.
