Two Faced Summer Eyes - I bet SN can do it better!

Post by fluttershy » Wed May 01, 2013 6:40 pm

I've been ogling the Summer Eye 2013 Summer Sexy Shadow Collection for a while, but I've read a lot of complaints about fallout and how the colors really need to be built up to be visible. So at first I thought "well, maybe this counts as a wishlist dupe", but I think there are a lot of existing colors already on SN's catalog that are pretty close to these!

I am basing my choices on the swatches in this article; I don't actually own this palette, so if someone does and think there are better selections, let me know!

Seashell - Maybe First Kiss? Or Sandy, it's hard to tell.
Plumeria - Jellybean (which is a last chance color)
Cocoa Beach - Forgery

Peach Fuzz - Cutie Pie
Coral Crush - Watermelon? Maybe Tiger Lily, although the Tiger Lily swatch is very unclear.
Chocolate Sun - Action

Sunbeam - Bone?
Mermaid - Aloha
Toasted Coconut - Terra? Sweet Tea?

I don't own all the shades suggested, but clearly now I feel like I should pick up Watermelon before it's gone. :( I've never worn coral on the eyes though! This was a fun exercise--any better suggestions?

They seem pretty close to me! I have Aloha and ordered Jellybean, which should arrive Saturday. I will see if I can post a couple of swatches for you. I think Aloha might be too green; I remember swatches from last summer (the palette was in last summer's collection) being more teal. But grab anything you can! I've never opened an SN eyeshadow to say "ugh I hate this!" Take a risk! :)

I've never disliked one either! I have, however, found myself wondering "can I wear this and not look silly? It looks SO PRETTY swatched on my arm..."

I actually just placed an order two days ago, but I grabbed mostly matte purples, sorbet, and several different teal-y green/blues from the last call color roundup. Maybe one of these will be close! I have a feeling tiger lily might be a bit closer though, I wish the swatch on the site was clearer!
