I love posietint! It’s so pretty and easy to use. By the way, your “bare” lips are a beautiful color.

I have only tried benetint and that was okay still looking for a better look.

Hi Sakura!

For starters, I have blue-greenish eyes, so my liner choices tend to play that up. I love gray liner as a softer alternative to black, and there are a lot of good ones to choose from!

I also adore blue-green tones in my eye makeup! One of my all-time favorites is the MAC PowerPoint eye pencil in Tealo! A gorgeous color, and their shadow in Plumage (a dark, matte teal) is perfect for setting it. For brighter turquoise liners, both Urban Decay and Make Up For Ever have wonderful choices! Two other lovely liners that work well with pale skin are Chanel’s eye pencil in Denim (a light, slightly steely blue — not sure on the availability of this, sorry) and Benefit’s Creaseless Creme shadow in Skinny Jeans used as a liner.

I also love a pop of bright turquoise at the outer corner for a fun, tropical look! Most of the MAC shadows I love best were limited edition, unfortunately (Parrot, Gulf Stream, Cool Heat) but there are a lot of great shades still out there, try Urban Decay’s Flipside!

Finally, I have to give a mention to a couple of my HG shadows: MAC Femme-fi (a limited edition, but was just re-released with the Sugarsweet collection, so you can find it now) is the best, soft gold I have found for my complexion! It is shimmery and lovely and looks amazing highlighting the inner corner or the browbone! Second, NARS Abyssinia single is a beautiful, light creamy pearl. It is perfect for an all-over base shade or, again, as a highlight on the browbone. It is also permanent (yay)!

Hee hee, I kinda ran off at the keyboard there! Hope that was useful, for you, good luck!
