Looking for the *perfect* underbrow highlight e/s shade!

[ladycattat]

Hi Jen!
I need to put your color expertise to work! I am looking for the *perfect* underbrow highlight e/s shade that will work with every single e/s shade I own! Tall order, huh? You've seen my pics, so you know how fair I am, but I don't want white; I want something a little warmer. tried Highbeam, pretty, but too peach. Whisper is too pink. Sprite is too pale gold. Fire is a little limited. Nymph looks too grey. I think Boom, Nekkid, and Sandstorm would be too dark. I like Vanilla a lot; that's the one I am leaning towards, but it doesn't really show up on me that well. Frenchie was kind of chalky, and Sandy was just a little too....something. Pretty, though. I wish that I had gotten a sample of Cream, I am thinking that might be the one. Is it possible, in your spare time(lol) to maybe swatch Vanilla and Cream side by side? or maybe you can suggest something I haven't thought of?
Thanks, sweetie!
Laurie

Hey Laurie!

I will definitely look into this for you. I have a bit of recovery from camping to do. I am really not cut out for it, but DD loves it so much. It is on my list for next week!

I did just have to check in with my Gals really quick before I crash!!!!

Jen, you are such a good mom!!! how old your DD? Mine is 9 and just recently (about 3 months ago) joined a GS troop, and they haven't had a camping trip yet. I know one is looming, but luckily there are about 4 moms in the troop that love to camp, and I sooooo don't, so I get to dodge that bullet!!! This troop of hers is all about learning responsiblity and atonomy(sp?) so they stress not having the parents really *hover* over the girls when they are doing activities(unless of course we want to, and then we are most certainly welcome).
Her troop leader is a really sharp, really busy single mom that is just great with the girls. She really thinks *outside of the box*, and the girls just adore her, and I am starting to also! She is my hero! When all Savannah's iron-in patches and badges fell off after being tumbled in the dryer for the umpteenth time(ACK) she volunteered to hand-sew them all back on!

Bring out your LUSH bombs, have a nice not bath, get a good book, and relax till the Monday madness begins!

In my quick glancing....Cream is the one for you! It is slightly warmer than Vanilla, and not as pink as Frenchie. I will get some swatch pics for you up tomorrow.

I vote for Cream as well. It works with just about anything and has a lovely finish to it. L.

Hey Laurie,

I am sorry I have not gotten to this, yet. I have had some real life issues getting in the way the past several days. I am hoping to have your pics over the next few days, though. In the pic I will throw in a bunch of lighter warmish colors along with Cream and Vanilla so you can see what we have.

I have a bigger swatch pic coming, but here are the smaller ones. They are in simulated natural light (an Ott light). I am trying to get consistent lighting in my pics. I may be going to something else because these pics seem so cold. I am so glad I don't have to choose. It would be tough. I do like the finish of Cream a little better than Vanilla, but Vanilla is my staple highlighter.

THESE SWATCHES ARE SO GREAT!

The lighting is fantastic, Jen. I have added a lot of colors to my wishlist after seeing your swatches. Keep up the good work.

Jen, thanks so much! those swatches are awesome!!! Cream is absolutely the one for me! It almost looks like Frenchie and Vanilla got married and Cream was their baby!!!
You have such an eye for seeing how the colors should be shown off!
I really am grateful for all the effort you put in!
