If you're looking for a neutral/nude, NYX Liquid Suede in Soft-Spoken or Sandstorm would be nice.

Seconding this, but Dose of Color's Truffle, Bare With Me, and Stone (I think that's the name, I'm too lazy to get up and check) are also good, too.
I've brought this up like twenty times because I fucking love it, but UD's Vice lipstick in Rapture, Crisis, Manic, and Ravenswood are all great rose/plummy neutrals. Just enough color with just enough neutral.

This may be a bit too colored for a nude but it's what I use for nude: Model Co. Dusk Til Dawn.
I love the formula. It lasts and doesn't smudge too much. I thought I'd hate it but when I tried it I absolutely loved what it looked like on me. Only problem, I got it as a Birchbox sample and I think the only way you can get it in a trio from Birchbox
There's this one called Get Naked (
) that looks kind of similar but bit mode nude, so it might actually work out better for you.I totally suggest the Party Proof line in the brand. If the one I have is representative of line then it's a solid 'stick.
EDIT: The Birchbox trio isn't even available anymore.
I was really considering getting the trio.

I don't have black hair, but I am pretty pasty. My favorite sorta-nude matte is Urban Decay Vice in Oblivion. The aforementioned NYX Lip Lingerie is pretty good, too. My favorite color is Embellishment.

Julep and ILNP have some amazing duochromes. I won't list specific polish names because there's way too many, but if you're looking for duochromes that apply nicely, those two brands are your best bet.
Semi-related: I got my Julep monthly box today. Dat sweet, sweet polish lover's upgrade (where you pay like $20 extra but get all of the polishes from that month's collection)

Anyone interested in indie makeup brands? I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Shiro Cosmetics order but I'm hesitant to work with loose powder/pigments. I'm really trying to fill in an eyeshadow collection with singles (z-palette) but Shiro's color selection is just too amazing. Any suggestions or experiences with Shiro or other indie brands?

How is their polish? I've thought about subscribing a thousand times but I'd like to know how the formula actually is before investing...
I've been a customer of Shiro Cosmetics for several years, actually! The products are really great, and if you're not sure about a color she offers samples of everything but the nail polishes she sells.
Just be patient, it's a two-person operation and their order volume is high. This last one I placed took over a month to get. The products are worth it, though. My advice would be order a shit-ton of samples, play with what you get when it comes in, and decide from there.

I second the Nyx lip lingerie line for nudes. It also depends on your undertone, are you cool or warm toned? I'm a NC30-35 and I love the Nyx lip lingerie shade 'exotica', it's a nude brick red type of colour.
Mac Ruby Woo is a universal red that in my opinion looks great on everybody.
Colourpop is good for cheaper matte liquid lips and has a variety of colours for experimentation but the formula is really drying.

At one point, I would love to try their eyeshadows. The Zelda collection they have is calling my name. They're having a 20% off sale until the 8th, I believe.

It can be hit-and-miss, but for the most part, the formula is amazing, especially if you use their base and top coats. (The oxygen bonding basecoat and the oxygen top coat, that is; the Freedom polymer top coat is garbage in my experience.) And the best part is if you sign up for Julep Maven, you get to customize your monthly box, or skip it if money is tight.
Julep also makes a lot of makeup and skincare products, and you can usually swap those into your box if you aren't feeling that month's polish collection, which I really appreciate.

I have very pale skin and dark brown hair, and in the past, when I've not been using crazier colours (I like manicpanic's 'Envy' and 'Raven' in particular, and stargazer's priestess) but otherwise I stick to brown nudes, and colours that can't be identified as lipstick (I have very pink and full lips naturally, and have to wear lipstick so that it doesn't look like I'm wearing lipstick.). I would give Maybeline's colorsensational 930 Nude Embrace a look, and I'll edit in a couple more when I get home

I just noticed this thread.
A few months ago, I was doing a review of eye creams - western and asian ones, I found that the best ones contained either a peptide or firming agent. Obviously sun protection is super important, but when you have an eye cream that plumps in some way, all of the skin is equally nourished, which also helps to keep the skin from discoloration settling along fine lines.
Anyway, Benefit's It's Potent and L'oreal's Revitalift were two affordable ones that perform very well. Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder and Shiseido all have really good ones too, they are just more pricey.

It's stupid expensive, but I have a really bad dry scalp and psoriasis and the only things that work well for me are Aveda's invati shampoo (smells like dirt and curry though because of the tumeric) and alterna caviar scalp facial. The Aveda is about $100 for a liter of the shampoo, but I use it about twice a month and have only gone through 2/3 of the bottle in a year. (I use Everyone shampoo in between. It's like $10 a liter at the health food store)
It doesn't completely clear it up, but it's the closest I've gotten to clear in a decade of trying stuff. In a pinch soaking your hair in alchohol free witch hazel helps a bit too.
Best foundation, bb cream, etc for really pale people with dry skin? I was using the tonymoly pikachu cushion but it's too dark and too dry. I have some missha #13 on the way though.

Not really a recommendation but a question since I'm hunting a good bb cream myself- have you tried the Holika Holika petit jelly? I was gonna order some after my paycheck cleared but haven't really gotten to talk to anyone about it.

I've heard good things about their monthly boxes but I've also heard they can be absolute pains when you try to cancel the subscription. Have you (or anyone else in this thread) got any experience there? I'd be too fidgety for more than a 2-3 month commitment, so.
Edit: Also, thanks so much for the reply!

Too Faced's Born This Way would probably work very well for you. They have a ton of super-pale shades, and it's a very creamy, moisturizing/non-drying formula. I use the shade porcelain, and it's definitely my favorite winter foundation. (My skin gets dry in winter and oily in the summer, so I have winter foundation and summer foundation.)
I had to cancel (and then resubscribe a few months later) about a year and a half ago, and I had no problems. Julep has recently expanded their customer service department (which easily is one of the best customer service I've ever dealt with), so a lot of the problems with canceling aren't really problems anymore.
(Also, you can skip months if you're not feeling whatever they're releasing.)

Korean BB creams are generally pretty great. I personally use etude house but there's a lot of cheap-ish brands.
anyone have any experience using straight aloe gel on their skin? Like, squeezed directly from the plant. I've seen good things on instagram but i've also seen the same accounts swear by a mixture of charcoal and literal glue as a face mask.
