You most likely have blonde, red or light brown hair. Your skin is a soft beige with peach undertones and your eyes anywhere from a blue to a gray to even a pale shade of green. Here are your top ten colors.

1) Warm Pinks

Because of your peach undertones, these colors will warm up your light skin without adding too much color.

2) Taupes

Perfect for the eyes, Just enough color to give definition, but just right for the daytime use. For those of you who want to emphasize your eyes, but not call attention to the fact that you are wearing makeup.

3) Violet

Use this shade for eye liner and be sure that it is smudged right into the lash line.

4) Ivory or Pale Peach

These two colors will work well as a highlighter for you.

5) Shades of Brown

Using browns of varying shades will work well in the crease area of the eye.

6) More on Browns

Brown shadows will also work well with your coloring, but try mixing other colors into the brown as well for an interesting way to get a bit more mileage from your shadows.

7) Golden Apricot

Another lid shade that offers a subtle effect.

8) Grass Green

Especially effective for spring.
