I agree, I wish I saw some pics of these colors on people.

I wish I knew what these looks would be like on someone...

I agree with everyone else, showing us pictures of the final look on someone would have been better, but they are still nice ideas. Just be careful about bright colors on more then one area on your face. Like the red lips and blue eyeliner may be tricky to pull off without looking like a clown. I suggest sticking with one focal point (red lips, smokey eyes, etc) then let the rest be neutral colors.
