I agree with the reviewer who said she wished the article had been arranged by skin color rather than product type. Also, a Prescriptives sales associate typed my skin color years ago as being "on the cusp of red/blue and yellow/orange", so just "cool" or "warm" recommendations don't work for me.

Great tips! I wished it was arranged by skin color and not by product type. So I can go to my skin color and not have to look through products that don't work for me.

I do not limit myself to one or two eye colors. I play with lots of colors, and I am always complimented on how it makes my eyes pop or how pretty it is. So don't be afraid to experiment a little if you like. You might be surprised to find out that colors you never expected look great on you!

I prefer to wear all colours, I feel like I can pull them all off with my skin tone and eye colour, I haven't found one I didn't like.

I like to try out all shades no matter what I read is meant for my skin tone
