Silk Naturals "Mauve" Collection

Post by JenW » Fri Aug 29, 2008 11:49 am

I haven't posted my mug here in a while. I have been waiting anxiously for the fall release. For my version of the BB Mauve Palette, I used Embrace Blush, Cozy, Cuddle, and Cream (a better match to the original would be Bone here, but I prefer a highlighter with a little shimmer.) I also used the Kisser Slicker in Tender. I think I am in love! The colors are so natural looking but with a fall flare. I tried to get an eye closeup, but it wasn't very good.

Other SN products I used:
Perfect Harmony Original Foundation 1Ebony:7Ivory
Date Bait
Sleep In a Jar Light Peach (I need a full size of this!)
Lush Lash Black Mascara
Eye specifics:
Cozy as a liner
Cuddle as outer vee and blended with Cream on the lid and crease
Cream brow highlight

You look fabulous Jen! Purple and pinks are some of my favorite for brown eyes.

Thank you Marcey and Maryah!

The blush is certainly in the mauvey range, but the eyeshadows (Cuddle and Cozy) are like neutrals with a slight mauve twist. They are both matte. Cozy is like a dark, slightly mauveish brown, and the Cuddle is a mid tone of Cozy, so a medium mauvish brown. They are very pretty on, but not so much in the jar. My favorites of the fall collection are Sage, Brown Sugar and the Brown Quad. However, this combo makes a nice pulled together look.

Looks fabbo, Jen!

I am loving Sage & Dark Forest & am wearing them today with Enchanting blush. None of that has anything to do with this topic, ROFL, but you mentioned Sage & I had to pipe up! :D

Jen you look great! :D I'm especially lemming Cuddle- it looks like it might be a more matte, mauvier/greyer sister to my fave Lurid eyeshadow?

Hey Jen, you looked so lovely you inspired me to give the look a try myself using (mostly) SN minerals. I hadn't received the BB Mauve dupe yet at the time, but I think that Pretty Plum worked quite well!

I posted the look here:http://soloverly.blogspot.com/2008/09/l ... -look.html

Thanks for the inspiration, Jen!
