Graceful and Moonstone

Post by egerandi » Fri Dec 09, 2011 12:54 am

I'm looking for a warm grey-ish taupe. How does Graceful compare to Moonstone? I have blue eyes that turn into grey sometime, and medium-fair skin.

I have both of these and I have pretty similar medium warm coloring (use buttery gold for my base).
I also have a few others that are my go-to taupe/greys. I REALLY love Slate and Bonanza and Glory lately. I can do some swatches once I get home tonight if you don't mind it being a little later. :)

My skintone is more neutral than warm, sorry I should I have mentioned that. I have all those shadows: Slate is a bit dark on me, and Glory leans towards the golden on me, so I'm looking for something more gray-ish. Bonanza is very pretty, but I need something in the more matte department in that color range :)

Just going from memory, Moonstone is a warm grey. Graceful is a gray that leans purple,so it is probably cooler toned than Moonstone.

Moonstone sounds like it is exactly what you are looking for, a warm taupe-gray. I like it a lot for the lid color in smokey eye looks with black liner and crease. It has only the barest hint of sparkle, but it can be buffed out if you want matte. It mainly "reads" matte anyway. I bought it with Slate and it's similar, but lighter.
