Bronzer Recommendations:
Alabaster (Gwyneth Paltrow)- Pink shimmer or peachy 
Light (Drew Barrymore)- Biegy brown with a bit of pink
Medium (Sienna Miller)- Brownish pink with a bit of orange or warmth
Medium-Dark (Jennifer Lopez)- Brownish orange
Dark (Vanessa Williams)- Brownish Red
Deep (Venus Williams)- Brownish blue

Shades to Use by Natural Lip Color:
Pale Lips- beige, sandy pink, light coral, pale pink, & bright red 
Medium Lips- brown, rose, pink, orange, warm red
Dark Lips- brown, deep red, plum, deep chocolate, and deep raisin/berries
Two-Toned Lips- chocolate, blackberry, deep plum, deep raisin, deep red
Each natural lip color and shade has a colored box around it in the book to show what equals pale, medium, & etc and what equals each color; brown, rose, pink, & etc. I'm including an image of the guide and a palette of all the shades kept in her Pro kit. Both will give you an idea of what's meant by the colors and types listed. 
Corrector Recommendations: 
Alabaster to medium (as exampled above)- pink 
Medium-dark to Dark- peach 
Deep- darker peach 
Any blush color seems to due as long as the formula is correct for your skin type; dry, combo, oily. Foundation on the other had has a very detailed selection process and is not defined even vaguely based on  skin tone, that seemed odd considering but maybe it was too complicated to even attempt charting it out. The only chart I found for this had to do with the color of your veins to determine wether or not your foundation should have a cool, neutral, warm, or a combination of those undertones. Foundation color and skin undertone is so important we'll be giving that it's own series. This series will focus on bronzer and lips, mainly, and slightly on corrector unless we find that it needs a deeper look but I haven't gotten that far in my research. I do know that corrector a come in yellow, purple, blue, and pink. Brown does not mention any but pink so corrector may need a deeper look because Brown only looks at under-eye corrector and gives no indication that she acknowledges the useful correcting palettes for face use.
