Makeup Shades for Every Girl

There are many shades of makeup but there are a few that can be pulled off by every girl of every skin tone.

Here are the most recent ones.

The red lipstick
We all know that there are so many shades of red lipstick out there. But if you want the glamorous old-Hollywood look, there can only be one true shade- and that is the primary color red. Not the berry red, or thr brick red or even the fiery engine red. You need to be as close as the primary color red.

The rosy lip gloss
There is nothing safer than wearing the rosy lip gloss. You really can’t go wrong with it because most people’s natural lip color is similar to this. A semi-sheer gloss is what you need with a tinge of pink in it is the perfect hue for your lips.

Gold Eye Shadow
This is suitable for everyone. If you want to look for a metallic shade, this is the perfect one for you. It basically looks good on almost everyone. To avoid looking chalky, especially when you have pale skin, pick the one that has a pearlescent finish. You can go all the way by putting it on your lids or you can use it as highlight under your brows.

Peach Blush
The peach blush is the more subtle take on having blush on. If pink is used, you would look too artificially looking, but if you use a peach blush with a little shimmer on the apples of your cheeks will look naturally blushed. Place it on the cheekbones if you are on the dark side.

Deep Purple Eye Shadow
Deep purple, if it is the right hue, can be pulled off by almost everyone. If the wrong shade is used, it can be mistaken as a bruise. Avoid those with too much undertones.

Rimmel London Colour Rush Trio Eyeshadow 747 Dark Angel Review

This Rimmel Eyeshadow Trio is something I picked up one day while at Wal-Mart looking for an eyeshadow brush. I found both the brush and this product and am pretty happy with the results.

This product has three eyeshadow colors as the name suggests. There is a silver shade, a purple shade, and a really dark grey. They are all sparkly and it comes with an applicator that has two different shape ovals so that you are able to vary how you apply the makeup.

I have not tried the makeup with the applicators. This is for personal reasons. With an eyeshadow brush, the colors vary in intensity by how much you apply. One swipe is noticeable but for more dramatic looks, you need more. However, with a swatch done on my hand, it seems that with the applicators grab more product and look a bit brighter. With the brush it takes about 4 swipes to get the same intensity. On the other hand, I recommend the brush if you want less. The silver is very noticeable. It is very shimmery—the shadow and the tiny sparkles in the shadow as well. This color is a lot more noticeable with less product and is great by itself or paired with the other colors. The purple was a little bit less impressive. It looked more like a rusty purple than a bright purple like in the palette, although this may be attributed to my coloring. On a paper towel, the color was still much darker and not as bright and pretty as in the palette. The grey was about the same in as it was out, excepting the eyeshadow brush which was much lighter, as it expected. I did like this palette. I believe it can be quite a bit better, but for the price which was about $4.50 at Wal-mart, it wasn’t half bad. It lasts almost all day, with a tiny bit of fading, but it isn’t noticeable except to the wearer. It could benefit from an eyeshadow primer, but that aside it is a good product for a good price. I’d definitely buy it again and again.
