I've also always heard that contrasting colors look best, and I agree! I have blue-grey eyes, and my favorite colors are all contrasting colors -- browns, bronzes, and peaches are the best! Sometimes I wear purples and greens for a change, but they're definitely not my best colors.

In the articles I've read about cool/warm tones, they always say if you have cool skin you should wear cool e/s and vice versa. I don't agree with that though, because they always recommend colors like silvers, blues, and purples for my very cool skin -- and I think most of those colors look terrible on me!

Plus, I've noticed that warm e/s colors (especially bronzes) tend to warm up my face a little bit, so that is another added bonus! However, warm lip and cheek colors tend to just look orange on me, so I like to stick with cool and neutrals for the lips and cheeks

Now that surprises me, because every article I've read says you should wear contrasting colors (browns, etc)! Except for the articles that focus on skintone instead of eyecolor as I mentioned above!
