more colours like Breathe

Post by Ghost » Fri Jun 19, 2009 1:51 pm

I would love to see more colours like Breathe. A green with a blue duo-tone, or gold with a pink duo tone.

I'm sure if there's enough backing, karen wouldn't mine 'cracking' some out (he he he, Silknaturals, Crack, get it :D )

I would LOVE that. And I would definitely buy just about anything with gold in it.

I'm cracking right away on them...yesterday I finally pulled out the pigments and started doing some things. Breathe gets its color from a duotone mica...but there are several kinda like that, so I'm happily blending away!

Karen, could you use the duochrome micas in lippies? I'd love one with a copper/bronze interference in a dark warm tan lippie, and maybe a coral/pink/bronze in a medium nude?. I'm thinking it might work better in the wand gloss formula. Also, green and turquoise make cool accent interference colors in lippies, I believe.

Just to recommend this neat idea, I can vouch that it works. My all time favourite lippy (no longer available) was from Ariane Pool, called Soulmate. The base colour was close to the circular thumbnail photo on the SN site of Modern Poet gloss. What made this one special was that it had micro-fine shimmery particles of gold, very soft baby pink and a pale turquoise-blue in about equal amount. The nearest I can think to the blue was the *gorgeous* shimmer in SN's Cherry Blossom eyeshadow.

It sounds like an odd addition, but it brought an ordinary colour in life and made it remarkably flattering and wearable.

(and while I'm here, please please revisit Cherry Blossom. I got it as a gumball and a friend's teenager now has it and... *sobs softly*... shameless plea)
