1. That looks like it could possibly be Lime Crime's Cashmere or Kat Von D's Lolita, possibly Bite Beauty's Musk (though that won't have as matte a finish)

2. Unfortunately I'm not sure, I don't highlight

3. If your veins look both blue and green, you're probably neutral. If you look better in silver jewelry, you're likely cool toned, if you look better in gold you're likely warm. If you can rock both, neutral. If you burn in the sun, you're likely cool toned, if you tan, you're likely warm toned, though that's not necessarily the best way to be sure as I myself have a cool/neutral skintone yet I tan rather than burn.

When picking foundation, test on your jawline in natural light. That will help you pick the best shade for you. It should match your neck, not your face, so that you can make sure all of you is the same color.

4. I personally use the Sephora brand brushes. They're not super expensive, but they're also not incredibly cheap like Real Techniques brushes or Elf brushes, both of which I hate. Sephora brand brushes are nice, they're not super scratchy, they last for absolute ages, they're really wonderful for what they are.

5.Unfortunately I believe in splurging on skincare, but you may want to check out Lumene. It's available at CVS and I've used their creams before, for nighttime. For daytime moisturizers I use Aveeno. I have dry skin.

6. this is tough, but as of right now I'll go with my Vice LTD palette. It's great, has a ton of colors, good pigmentation, I really do love it. I also really love the new Sugarpill spring collection, it's utterly gorgeous and my favorite shade from that is Mint Soda.

1. I tried reverse image searching, but nothing came up. You might want to keep in mind though, not all lip products are universal and don't look the same on different people. Lip pigment, skin tones, and undertone play a big part. It can look totally different on you than it did on the person modeling it in the picture.

2. I just use eyeshadow, lol. Sometimes I mix it with my moisturizer or primer to make it a cream/liquid highlight.

3. Usually if you see both blue and green, you are neutral. Since you have a lot of redness throughout, I'd iust go with cool.

3. My favorite brush is the Sonia Kashuk multipurpose brush. It is a dense flat top kabuki. Blends products beautifully. It's $15, which may be expensive to some. It was to me, when I found out the price only as I was payin, but thank goodness I loved it.

4. I'm not sure as I have oily skin, but I've heard amazing things about Cerave and cetaphil (not sure which is for dry, I believe they both cater to both skin types)

5. Probably my Loreal voluminous million lashes mascara. Great for no makeup makeup looks which is what ice been going for lately

1- I image searched it and couldn't find anything. looks like kat Von d bow n arrow.

2- what's your price range?

3- you have neutral. I have the same except I have yellow undertows not pink. What I do is swatch the foundation on my neck then go outside in sunlight to see if it matches.

4- real techniques, face secrets. Face secrets brushes are so so soft and about $13 ( my bronzer brush was $13) You can buy them at Sally's beauty supply.

4- I'm not sure because I have oily skin.

5- mmm probably my lip products. Mac velvet teddy or my urban decay lip pencil in "naked2"

1. That'd be Lime Crimes Riot. It hasn't come out yet, but it will this month.
2. Try the Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips or the Shimmer Strip nude palette things. They're really pretty and versatile, you can use them as eyeshadows as well. Let me know and I can swatch mine if you like.
3. Neutral
4. EcoTools, Sonia Kashuk, Up&Up brand (from Target), Walmarts brand brushes are decent
5. I use the Cetaphil daily moisturizing lotion for face. I really like it, it's lightweight, sinks in to the skin quickly, and doesn't disturb my makeup
6. Probably the new Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow in Solstice that just came out! Let me know if you want a swatch of it :)

The color is the color of the year Marsala, almost every line right now has that color so you would be able to find it from any brand. ;)

A good drugstore highlighter (honestly it's the only "cheap" highlighter I like) is Revlon Skinlights.
For the other questions, it seems like you have lots of answers already!
My favorite products are my 217 brush by MAC (if you want to consider it a product) and my Urban Decay single eyeshadow in Baked. Not half-baked, not twice-baked. But it's hard to find ONE favorite item... And I'd add the Balm Voyage palette by The Balm and the Urban Decay B6 pvitamin-infused spray, although I haven't had it long enough to know for sure.
