I don't avoid anything, I basically am determined by mood. I have avoided bronze colours but that's just because you can't tell your wearing it I find. :laughing:
I do tend avoid pastels, especially in a matte finish. They just don't look good on me! I used to avoid all mattes but now I sometimes use darker shades as eye liners.
red, pastels, and white for e/s unless the pastel or white is sheer and not the main color. Frosty colors for my lips unless I blend it with like a deep red. But then again I rarely stop myself from using these if I want to use them.
