Hi could anyone advise what would be a good match for Magnum as crease and liner color to create a dramatic but wearable look? I have big hazel eyes black hair and fair skin so dramatic makeup looks natural on me. I am thinking of Silver lining (also because it looks like it will combine well with other dark blue and maybe even green colors). But maybe it's too light? Maybe I would need something like Heart throb or Alloy?

Also could someone tell me what "Stick'em" is??


Thanks!!

I would suggest poly or kingfisher as they are bright and would look great with hazel eyes IMO,
I have worked this look with similar colours (not by SN) I don't have these exact colours 'cos I'm a newbie, but try it, it looks amazing....
If you want to highlight the brow a good choice would be sonic or vanilla, bone if you like to keep that area matte.
I like to ground a smoky eye with a matte colour above the crease, here I would go for a Eu-taup-ia, softly blended through to take the edge off the magnum as it blends out of the crease and upto the browbone where the sonic/vanilla/bone is.

Hope this helps.

Wot she said.

Magnum is basically black so any bold colour you put with it will pack a punch and any pastel or neutral colour will soften the overall effect. I like the thought of Bewitched but Poly / Kingfisher are personal faves for colour. Anything would rock.

I like fuchsia-purples against hazel eyes so I'm wondering it Breathe / Ether would add an interesting twist?

I was going to suggest one of the morphing colors too.

Stick 'Em is their clear eyeshadow primer - you dab a bit on your eyelids, spreading it across the lid, let it dry, then apply your eyeshadows on top. The primer holds the shadow in place so it doesn't fade or crease, and colors look more vibrant and complex on top. It's fantastic stuff - if you've never used an eyeshadow primer before you really need to.

This is the sort of thing I was getting at.....I used a matte black 'cos I don't own the colours but I hope this pic illustrates my suggestion!

File comment: Poly or kingfisher would do well paired with magnum.

That's really cool! I like doing that with light pinks.
