I need your opinion.......

Post by JenW » Thu Sep 25, 2008 9:16 am

I have started tackling the blushes for swatching. I am not sure exactly how to get the best result, so you can see the color differences. Blush is typically appied in a diffused pattern, but that does not really show the color variation well enough for pics. Here is my first try. What do you think?

I only own Tart Light so I can only comment on that, but the color looks accurate to me!

Thanks Jen for the lovely swatches!

Hi, Jen! I think that your swatches look awesome! They really do show off the colors well! The only thing that I would suggest is that maybe you could swatch them in 2 groups; the *cool-toned* colors-Lady, Tart Light, Tart, Embrace, Blossom, and Pretty Plum; and then the *warm-toned* colors-Tahiti Sweetie, Poppy, Vixen, and Enchanted. I know for myself I tend to go for warm tones, and it's easier to have them all in one place.

Just a thought! But as usual, the swatches themselves are spot on!

From the colors I have that you swatched they look like good matches. I agree with Laurie that separating the cool and warm would be nice. Sometimes if you put them close together they look off.

Thank you for your recommendations! I will work on these next week! I am planning to do the cool/warm sorting and indicate whether they are a shimmer blush in the label.
