Need eyeshadow suggestions

Post by allyb » Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:36 am

Hi all! I'm fairly new to the the Silk Naturals "family" and I would love some eyeshadow color suggestions. I already have the following: Homecoming Queen, Carnival, Flutter, Pink Lemonade (sample), Mink, Propinquity, Flash, Bristol, Dark Arts (sample), Emporium and Miss You. What other colors would be good paired with what I already have on hand? I have a verrrrrry long list of colors currently in my cart, but I don't think I can spend $200 all at once . . . ;) I've posted a few pictures below to give an idea of my coloring (pretty fair, don't tan ever, so I'm pretty much the same color all year). Thanks so much for any advice!

Hi,

I can't get your eye color from the pics.

What colors do you usually prefer? Do you like complex looks or single washes of color? Could you please tell more, as there are so many great colors :-) you can find what you want if you define the search.

Good luck!

My eyes are green. In the past, I've kept my eye color pretty "safe" but with so many beautiful options, I feel like branching out. This morning I put Miss You on the lid, Dark Arts in the crease and Bristol (I think) to highlight. Dark Arts scared me in the little sample package, but once I put it on I really liked it. I have an almost 16 month old, so getting ready in the mornings can be a bit hectic, so simple washes are sometimes all I have time for. Suggestions for pairings and washes would be much appreciated!

Oooh babies do make things hectic. I really like Mahalo- it's an easy wash that looks great with Dark Arts. Adorn is a fun one too.

What else do you have in your cart? We're pretty good at narrowing things down too :)

You might consider Godiva. I really like it with my green eyes. I also like Olive You and Honey, and Zest with Posse.

Hi! I'm adding on to this string bc its the same question...what color eye shadow should I try? :) I have green eyes that sometimes look gray. In the photo, I am wearing your eyeliner in Expresso. I'd love ANY suggestions on eye and lippies :P
