The most important factor in choosing makeup colors is determining your skin tone. Here's how to determine your skin tone.
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.

This web page is helpful. It has related sites listed at the bottom.
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.

Over the years I have changed makeup many times. It depends on my skin and what is available.

You have to experiment, I had to buy like 5 different shades before I found the right color of foundation for my skin, I finally found the right one but then had to buy a different color and brand for compact powder.

i like a mineral makeup as it works for almost all skin types and you can control the coverage.
