Please help!

They all look rather alike online, and she lives hundreds of miles from me, so I will have to buy online.

She has very dark brown, dark eyes, quite pale skin (but tans easily) and I know she wants new makeup for her birthday. I have already sent for Lancome Virtuose mascara (can't go wrong with that) but wanted a beautiful lipgloss in a nude shade so it will suit her, and she will get lots of use out of it.

She is 19.
Thanks

The MAC lip glass is amazing. its a clear lip gloss that makes otehr lipsticks really beautiful.

Juicy Tubes are loooovely. I think the melon one suits everyone. And if you want to get her somehting she will use every day, think about a shadestick from MAC. I use the Gentle Lentil one as an eye base and it is the one thing I could not go without

Ooo and just because I love her, look up Panacea81's vidoes on youtube- you might get some inspiration for great products and shades.
hell, I'll even give you the link

"Lust" is a fab shade of Mac Lipglass. Its a nude shade but with a little more oomph . Looks great with barely there day make up but also fab with smokey eyes for night time.

I second a juicy tube and melon is lovely, brought one called 'chestnut reggae' the other day and it smells divine.

Or you could try BeneFit Rush Hour, which is a nice sort of berry-nude tone and can be used on eyes, cheeks and lips.

I like Dior Addict "Bite of Toffee" and from their new spring 'nude' range I just got the 'Nude' Lipgloss (#137)

Mac Lipglass in Nymphette is a nice pinky brown neutral shade.
