Eye shadow help

Post by Artemis » Sun Sep 11, 2011 1:58 pm

I'd love to hear a few suggestion on what eye shadows I should add to my SN eyeshadow collection.

Up until now, I've just bought eye shadows on a whim. I see a colour, think "oooh, pretty" and then I put it in my cart without thinking about when and how I will use that particular colour. But now I need to find some shadows that are "right" for my skin tone and eye colour and all that.

In my make up drawer I have
eye shadows I use often:
Bone, Restless,Tiger Lily, First Kiss, Tru Luv, Eden GWP

eye shadows I recently got, but that look very promising:
Dark Arts, Derby GWP, Teacher's Pet, Sailor

eye shadows that I like in the jar, but that get to stay in the drawer because I haven't quite figured out how to use yet without feeling that I look weird:
Gasp
Jean Queen
Jellybean
Mist
Sorbet

I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for exactly, but I like all types of eye shadows (matte, shimmery etc...). And feel free to give me some combination ideas, including both shadows that I already own and/or colours I've yet to discover!

Here's a picture of me, it's easier to just show you instead of trying to describe my colours.

Thank you in advance :)
(Also, I apologize for my grammar and spelling, english is not my first language)

Just judging from the list of colors that you use the most, I bet you would like a lot of the same colors as were recommended for this girl:
