I was NW43 when I lived in the tropics. Now I am BB GOLDEN or MAC NC45. The colors that flatter me haven't changed much. Most colors look good on my skin. Especially pretty are corals, orangy, rosy, bronzy, neutral and golden blushes/skin finishes: CARGO ROME, MILANI MAI TAI, NARS TAJ MAHAL, EDM B&B, MAC BRUNETTE MSF, MAC AMBERING ROSE, MAC GINGERLY, EARTHENGLOW MINERAL Acapulco Sunset, etc. I go basic on my eyes. Usually MAC WARM BLEND MSF with black liner and mascara are all that I need. For lips MAC NICE MIX UP lipglass is my current favorite.
Most colors will flatter you. I encourage you to go to MAC or SEPHORA to swatch colors.

I use MAC Studio Finish concealer in NW43 (MUFE Mat Velvet in 70 mixed with C7 LOreal TrueMatch foundation) and here are a couple of my faves:
Lipstick:
-MAC Up the Amp
-MAC Velvet Teddy
-newest lipstick in MAC Our Pick (LE)
For the second two, I like to add NYX glosses in Gold Mauve and Desert respectively.
- " Craving
Blush:
-MAC Loverush
-MAC Breath of Plum
-MAC Blushbaby
- " Flirt n Tease
- " Plum Foolery
Eyeshadows: (All MAC)
Browns-
-Twinks, Sketch, All that Glitters, Sable, Deep Damson(PRO), Antiqued, Signed Sealed (LE Matte2 color)
Browns, especially, I think you should be careful of because they can wash you out if your a cool tone (I know it says NW but red is cooler in tone than yellow). All of the ones listed above are "cooler" browns.
I think with any other color of shadow in the pink, purple, silvers families, you'd be able to pull them off. Generally, you should look for colors that aren't "blazing" bright.
I don't where greens or blues really so I can't give a recommendation on that front
.
Hope that helps a little bit...

I'm just going to try to think of basic, non-LE staples. Let's see!
MAC Gingerly blush, Cork liner, Saplicious Lip Gelee, Revealing Lipglass for sure!, Eye shadows, hmm... Amber Lights, Soft Brown, Embark. I want to try All that Glitters and Naked Lunch (I can't believe I've never even SWATCHED them in the store!!) but I *think* they would also flatter you/us.
Pigments, Vanilla, Naked. I dunno. I think I'm kinda boring in my color choices, but I like makeup that people don't really notice... <3

I've been searching high and low for warm blend msf because i've seen a couple of nice videos and fotd with this on nc45,nw43,nc50 (it looked gorgeous). I also seen a youtube video with a combo of brunette msf and azalea that was also gorge. You have some good selections of blush that I've been eyeing so I must check them out. But thats for your reply.
