Hi Sana!

I completely understand what you mean about silvers, I feel they look best on lighter and cooler skin tones.

If you want a light look, I would foil a slightly shimmery nude (like Naked pigment in MAC) with a purple on the outer V (I recently purchased Vibrant Grape from the Style Warrior collection).

If you want a dramatic look for going out, reach for an olive green, especially if you have brown eyes and pair it with a black on the outer V. NARS and MAC make great olive colors that look great on us. Same goes for dark blue and black. If you’re really brave – go for a turquoise wash with a dark blue in the crease. All combinations look stunning with a nude lip!

Kals, I actually thought about that, but it seems the audience is a bit shy. How about you be the first to volunteer?

could you recommend any specific colours or combinations that look great when foiled on asian skin? id tend to avoid silver because it makes my skin tone look grey and cold and i prefer to look warmer.

photos sounds like a great idea !

Mars,

You should get readers to take pictures after they try it themselves and send them in!

wow thanks for sharing this info! I too have wondered how that shine happens without being all glittery and you answered it. I tried with with an old Mac loose eye shadow I have and it works brilliantly so I’m gonna give it a go with my new one the next time I go out :0) Great post!
