The colors that don't look good on me are peach, gold, orange anything too warm. I can do browns though and cool shades. I always thought I was a cool but now I think I am more neutral.

Which eye shadows do I need?
My birthday is coming up so I am making an order. I think I have the blushes I want mostly worked out but I need some eye shadow help. I do have idolize already which I know is a big favorite. What else should I make sure to get? Here's a closeup of my eyes. I am wearing Brook on the lid brown sugar in the crease edm mistletoe as a liner and edm champagne to highlight.

Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
Looking at those two together I really like the brown and green the best myself. I am wondering if it might be good to get either the stonewashed nudes or mixed metal palette?
Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
Right now I am thinking of getting the stonewashed nudes and then envy since I haven't tried a cream liner yet. I would still need two more for my free shadows since I am planning on a $60 order.
Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
I think you might like Patina or Grassroots Green. I'm more partial to Grassroots Green because I own it, but Patina looks promising from swatches and is a muted tone. Danny is a muted green also, with a more pearl/satin finish.Colleen wrote:Right now I am thinking of getting the stonewashed nudes and then envy since I haven't tried a cream liner yet.

I have most of the Stonewashed Nudes collection. Overall I think it's a good buy for people who love browns and earth tones and enjoy wearing matte shades. You might not like Terra, its a bit warmish to me...but paired with the other colors it could be very wearable for you!
Have a look at Brimstone and Chocolate Twinkle too! Never tried Envy, I own the Clear, Film Noir, and Peacock cream liners. The formula is worth trying!

Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
I have Danny and like it. I have a sample of grassroots green that I tried today and it is really nice too. I have a sample of brimstone so I will try that tomorrow. I will check out chocolate twinkle too. I'm not a big matte fan so maybe I should just pick single shadows. Thanks for the suggestions.superwahz wrote:I think you might like Patina or Grassroots Green.

Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
I don't seem to wear matte shadows very well, so I'm not a huge fan of them, but they look fantastic on some women! In the SWNs collection Terra, Bone, and Basalt are matte, Slate is a little shimmery but not a whole lot, I always think of it as a matte color because it blends out like one on me! 
Bone is a good highlight color when you don't want any shimmer. Vanilla is its shimmery counterpart IMO. Chocolate Twinkle is lighter than Basalt (which is nearly black) but still dark enough foiled as a liner. It has coppery shimmer, I think it pairs nicely with purples and pinks. Bittersweet is almost the same depth as Chocolate Twinkle, but with a more bronze/golden shimmer that looks nice with golden greens.
Of the SWNs collection you could try Quartzite, it looks good on a variety of skintones and combines well with greens. I don't think it will be too warm for you, but you never know... I just got a sample of Moonstone, it's a warmish grey/taupe color with about as much shimmer as Slate. The base is warmish but the shimmers are a bit cool IMO, so you may be able to wear it if you like greys.
If you like Auburgine you may like Bewitched...it has less black and a bit more purple. You could wear it as a liner but I wear it as a crease color, it's not near as neon as the pic on the SN site makes it look!
Also, Cashmere is a nice nude pink that's more cool toned and pair well with some purples and browns. Oh....and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
I don't wear mattes much either unless I put something sparkly over the top. Even though I am going to be 43. So probably the collection is out. I will check out the ones you suggested. I do like aubergine. I am sure I will end up with some pretty colors.
Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
Do you have Twister or Charmed?
How about Martian?

Re: Which eye shadows do I need?
I ended up going with the muse collection, brown sugar, and taupetastic. Thanks for all the help.
