For the Love of Makeup

I have used the eyeshadow sheets and hated them. Good thing they were samples

I actually just asked someone for some make up tips today. Medusa said in another thread she loved her Mac lipstick. I havent been happy with my lipsticks since I stopped dying my hair and gone silver. And since the move, I have been sorting out my make ups and I realized I had 30+ tubes of lipstuff and none of it compliments the silver. Well, some of the pinks do.

Then I realized all my colors were probably off. I have gotten older and as I age, my facial skin is changing color. Lighter, perhaps? I have a green tone to my skin, not noticable until you put me up against a pink tone skin...and then they POP pink and I have a shadow of green. My hands are a much deeper color than my face so I cant test make up on my hands like some people can.

So how do you pick your shades? ANd has anyone done a complete change of color palate like I seem to have done?
