GwenDoLyn Oblivion - Ok, first of all, I was born with light auburn hair, not the flaming copper red I'm currently sporting. This means that while my hair colour looks completely natural, I also have skin that favours a cool colour palette.

Also, my make-up collection is rather extensive, so I'm not even going to try list all the products I own and use.

My absolute essentials (the things I carry in my make up bag all the time) are as follows... Face powder by Faces, shade 600. This is the only powder I've found (with the exception of baby powder) that is pale enough to match my skin. Applied wet, it can also double as foundation, woohoo! "Lehcaresor" Papier Poudr #142. You use it to blot your face. I know it used to be available at the Body Shop, but it's been a while since I've seen it there. I always carry two eyeliners with me. The first is Avon's Colour Trend in Black. The second is Maybelline Expert Eyes in Dark Brown. I always carry a decent variety of eyeshadows with me. My staples are Cover Girl's Black Gold collection (two burgandyish colours, an auburn shade and a black eyeshadow), a palette of 12 eyeshadows my mother gave me, but I don't know the name of as the letters have all rubbed off the case (it was a bonus from some facial she had done) and L'Oreal's Sugar Coated, which is a loose, shimmery white eyeshadow. I also never leave home without my trusty Sweet Star Lip Balm (a dollar store wonder) in Black Cherry Star. It has a hint of berry tint to it, and looks and tastes really nice. Lipstick is rarely worn, but my three favourites are Boheme by Lancome (a berry kind of a colour), Crazy by M (a matte brick red) and some Cover Girl shade that I've had for ages that is the definition of "whorish red".
