I wear Bewitched during the day a lot, it builds and blends well and isn't quite as eye popping as the photo suggests, but it's so gorgeous and one of my favorite SN colors! I think everyone should try it. Blend it dry with a well tapped off brush for a light dusting, or with a damp brush for a lot more depth. I sit on the fence between cool and warm and think it's a very flattering color.

Butterfly Blue is so pretty, but really cool toned IMO. I have to pair it with other colors to make it work, but you seem to wear pink better than I do and blue compliments brown eyes so nicely, so it might be worth a try! Groove is really nice, I like pairing it with other greens I have, or with purple. I think it could work for you since it's a bit warm and green looks like it would be fantastic with your eyes and skin tone! I also think Sizzle would work, it has a golden undertone that warms it up and is one of my favorite summer colors! I don't have Sprite, Shimmy, or Pixie, so no suggestions on those.

Sprite might be too light... Pixie is a pale, cool green. Do you like pale greens? Think very pastel on this one. Shimmy is very fun...it is a pale golden brown with a green interference. It is a neutral with a twist. Butterfly Blue is very cool toned. Sizzle would be lovely...the gold interference will really look nice with your skintone.

I apologize, I was unable to access the internet for a while. Thank you so much for your suggestions! I think I definitely will get Bewitched. I don't have a purple shadow like it. It looks lovely! Thanks for recommending the colors that would flatter my eyes and skintone as well! I'm excited to try them!

Thank you, Jen! I actually do like pale greens a lot, yet since I already own pale greens, Sizzle sounds like a great shade to try. Thank you very much for all your help with each of my posts! I was bummed because I couldn't order anything yet since my internet was down for a while. It worked out though because now with all the help I've gotten from the forum, I have lots of suggestions I can try which I can add to my cart.
