Advice on makeup colors or tones?

I'm not really very good at picking out good shades of makeup for myself. I do fine helping other people, but I fall short when looking for my own products.

I have grey eyes, auburn hair, and olive toned skin. I generally don't use mascara, as my eyelashes are already quite long and dark.

Does anyone have suggestions?

The most important factor is your olive skin. I don't think it is your fault that you have trouble. Cosmetic companies tend to fall short with shades that compliment your skin tone.

I think pinkish reds, neutrals (neither warm or cool), and deep blues will look good on you.

With grey eyes you would suit a lovely purple or navy blue eye liner to start with. Black mascara, if you like.

The look seems to be more to a natural colour as far as lipsticks go. With your colouring I would try a natural peachy/brown shade, or a gloss with a hint of raspberry.

This is hard to do without a picture.

If undecided, hold black up to your face, then deep dark brown; bright blue, and bright orange.

From your coloring description, and your lack of success, I'd say you are a Spring [ warm ].
