Matte Shadows?!?!

Post by karen » Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:40 am

So yesterday I finally got back to doing things with color!!!! As I was working along I decided to start whizzing up some matte shadows...we have quite a few brown mattes, but not a lot in other colors. I know we have a request for a buttery yellow- and I'm on it- but what else would you like to see? I'm seeing a lot of vivid colors for summer- and that sounds fun. A nice grey, some taupe- maybe a return of Flamingo.

Some more vibrant shades sound good :D

From a purely selfish perspective I would love to see a range of all-season neutrals (a peachy colour, a pale-ish pink, a buttery yellow as someone already suggested & the nice grey you mentioned, a navy blue, plus any others you can whip up :lol: )

But realistically I will buy whatever you make anyway...................................

I would like to see more pale purples, pinks and greens in mattes.

i would like a couple of intense neons like flamingo (maybe a really intense orange and a really intense green)
And also pastels like lilac- especially a yellow, and i do like mint eyeshadows

I would absolutely love a few MAC dupes...
I know they're not summery shades, but they're staples for me:

I'm thinking Graphology https://www.macpro.com/templates/produc ... D=SKU27737
Copperplate (muted midtone grey)
Nehru (muted bluish black)
Fig1 (eggplant purple)
and also Poison pen (amazing greyish purple ... but it was discontinued :( ...), I could only find a swatch : http://gallery.temptalia.com/mac-matte2 ... hes-part-2

That's it for my wishlist ...
Karen if you think they look to wintery, maybe you'll consider cloning them later this year :) ?

EDITED sorry had to remove most of my links - didn't show the right colors...
No time to do it again now but I'll put the right ones later!
They're gorgeous, you have to see them ;)

I'd like sthg like Nekkid, a natural peachy pink, and sthg like Escape, a bluish soft sheer purple in matte! :D
And a purple liner like Velvet maybe, not too dark yet not too light in matte. I basically want a matte natural eye look in purple, to bring out the yellow/orange pigments of me brownish eyes.

I will also try navy bue as a liner, that one is already matte, so for now I will try that before I decide if i can wear blues, because i know I won't be able to wear light blues, they would wash me out as I have olive skin.

Maybe also a cool pink in matte, haven't tried Cashmere yet, so not sure, but the color looks nice, only too shimmery for my taste.

I'm with Shirin on the peachy colors and purples.

Mostly, I'm looking forward to using mattes as colors for "go-to-the-office" day time wear.

I'd love some plums and some smoky greys which don't contain any blue.

By the way, is there any chance of Cuddle returning? I found this recently and have really been using it a lot - it's the perfect grey/brown.
