The most important factor in choosing makeup colors is determining your skin tone. Judging from your avatar, I'd guess you are warm toned.
Here's how to determine your skin tone and be sure.
Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.
Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.
Look at your wardrobe and hold up a few items in different colors against your face. Which ones appear more flattering to you in a mirror with natural sunlight? Which colors are you drawn to?
If you are not sure, ask one or two trusted friends or family members who's style you admire.

As for color palettes:
1. Earth colors are considered to be more neutral and natural
e.g. taupe or brown eyeshadow, soft blush (Nars Orgasm), lip colors that are like your own but with a little oomph (Revlon Lip Super Lustrous Gloss - Cherries in the Glow)
2. Jewel colors are considered to be more dramatic
e.g. blue or purple or green or shimmery eye shadows, black eyeliner, bold blush, deep burgundy or bright pink lip colors
You can choose from either palette as long as the tones are flattering.

I'm thinking darker blues and medium to dark greens. Brown and medium pink with shimmery eye Shadow would look great. Maybe some softer but dark lip color would also work. I would try these. Good Luck. <3

attempt heat colorations inclusive of rich browns, orange-yellow, olive green, deep reds, and purples. attempt to stay away from white and black, pastels, any style of diminished coloration. those don’t artwork nicely consisting of your complexion. playstation i think of you're beautiful!

It really depends on the brand of makeup you'll be using. Your best bet is go to the store and compare for yourself. Take someone to help you out, that might be easier.

earthy pinks and greens, and soft purples and blues. stay away from black, unless its got lighter detail, and stay away from chocolate brown. also reds will drown out your beautiful complexion.
