Runner-up Note: The only reason some of these have Runner ups is because they almost were the favourites themselves they were that close! I tried not to do a runner up unless it was a realllllly tough choice!

Please let me know your favourite skintone eyeshadow is! There are so many different skintones out there so it would be interesting to see what others use as their skintone/nude shade.)

Things I'm still on the Hunt for!
- Moisturizer with a decent amount of SPF in it that also feels nice on
- Powder highlight I’ll actually use on a semi-regular basis
- Green lippie of some sort, because there aren’t any currently and I want to do a Forest Sprite/Nymph look (yes, I know I’m kinda crazy) Also a green polish I actually love!
- Something to get rid of blackheads and make my acne completely disappear
- Auburn eyebrow wax (that won’t cause acne flair ups!)
- Undereye gel/cream that will help prevent wrinkles and help fade my dark circles!
