@Shanus 

Would you please give me a suggestion on a blush color that would complement my new lip & eye color?

I am light/med/neutral cool.

Ever so grateful!!

I am trying to copy the shades, but am unsuccessful!

@Harpa   Of course. Please tell me the eye and lip shades and if you prefer a lighter or darker or brighter blush color. I may only have dept. store suggestions since not as familiar w/ drugstore makeup.

Thank you, @Shanus !!

Laura Mercier lip in Rouge Essentiel in Rose Mauve

and

LM cavier stick in Bed of Roses. (I'll use this above the crease.)

(I wish I could post the shades. They copy into Word, but from Word to Q, it doesn't post.)

I prefer a medium tone... but these are darker than normal for me. I just think I need something that is more complentary in tone & shade. Doesn't have to be LM. (Don't care if it's drug store or not.)

Thank you again!!

Thank you again!

@Harpa   I chose LM blushes for you since she usually co-ordinates tones in her products. In a powder blush, I like CHAI. It's described as a matte dirty rose...horrible word dirty, but to me just means it's not too bright. ROSE is another choice which is a matte rose pink, much brighter. 

If you prefer a cream blush, I suggest ROSEBUD. 

Keep in mind that if eye makeup is deeper, darker, more drama, I'd go w/ a lighter cheek and lip, so the look is not overdone. If your eye makeup is more subdued, a brighter lip (like the one you named) should be OK with CHAI. 

***BTW, Laura Mercier and many other makeup brands are on sale at Nordstrom w/ free shipping and free returns. Good luck with these tips and suggestions.

Have a great weekend.

@Shanus, You are a Sweetheart!!  Thank you so much!!

I was looking at just those yesterday! (I may pick up both the Chai & Rose!)

And thank you for the great tips on coordinating eye & lip, which is just right!

@Harpa   You're so welcome. Always love answering makeup questions. Enjoy your new look.

Thank you @monicakm . I do copy that way, in my on-line school, et.al.. Which always works!

Sometimes it works in here, and sometimes not.

@Shanus 

I did get the Rose, but also the Passionfruit. I do not own many color blushes. I've been using the IT Contour palette, and also the Gallany face palette. I just lightly shade any way, and try to stay in more natural shades.

I hope I do not scare my DH with the new me!

@Shanus How about an eye shadow that I can wear as an all over, quick, not very obvious bit of color for the challenged.  Like on the eyelid and a little to the crease. 

I have a couple of nice light pinks, but would like to hear what my pro friend suggests, but am looking for a light smoky gray that isn't brown or isn't violet, but is a more cool, more neutral gray!  Sort of a silver gray but not sparkly or really shiny. 

THANKS!!!!!

@Shanus By the way you helped my skin SOOOO much this year with your advice!  A huge thanks!  And something I'm using every night now along with a very light moisturizer and maybe some Shiseido serum is Derm-e Vit. C serum and it is great for my awful sensitive skin!  

Have you used any of their products?
