Answer
Hi Patsy-

Well, I am not sure how your spots look but here are some recommendations.
You can pretty much do any eye colors: Jewel tones such as saphire blue, amethyst,Gold,Silver would all look great. Also try some neutrals such as navy or teal.
Mac makes some great vivid colors so does nars, prescriptives, and Lacome.

I would opt for a subtle blush since you do not want to draw attention to your spots opt for something like nars orgasm blush.

Good Luck
Amber
