Silk Naturals

Hi,

a few months ago, I ordered for the first time at Silk Naturals and I was totally impressed with the quality of the eyeshadows. So I came to the conclusion that I need more But there are so many and it is very difficult for me to decide and to tell the differences between all these gorgeous colours. Maybe someone here can help me to make a choice and to shorten my wishlist? I usually prefer cool neutral eyeshadows that are not to glittery or shimmery.

The taupe/brown colours, that I find very interesting, are:

Jump
Taupetastic
Heart Throb
Idolize
Moonstone
Earth
Nudge Nudge
Rizzo
Lurid
Tweed
Chocolate Twinkle

Thank you very much for your help!

Glory should be on that list. Just sayin'

Jump and Hearth Throb both have a bit of silverish + lavender undertones. They are very pretty, just mentioning as they are not that brown. Earth is gorgeous with all the colors playing in it, and the finish is great. Lurid and Tweed are great liner colors and so is Chocolate Twinkle - the latter being very brown.

Idolize is a must for all, and it's close to Jump but a bit darker and less lavender. I have a sample of Moonstone, and have been contemplating getting a f/s as it's a pretty creaser color or even one wash if you want to go a bit more dramatic without looking silly.

Hope this helps

I would swap out Chocolate Twinkle for Burnished. Abt the same depth but Burnished leans cooler than Chocolate. Chocolate Twinkle is gorgeous but I have cool undertones & prefer how Burnished looks on me.

Thank you very much for your help. I will definitely keep Idolize on my list and drop Heart Throb and Jump. But can somebody tell me the difference between Moonstone and Lurid / Rizzo and Nudge Nude? To me they look very similar.

I don't have Rizzo, but I do have Nudge Nudge and the biggest difference I see from the other two is that Moonstone and Lurid are more neutral. NN has a smidgen of coloring, made to pair well with Wink Wink. Lurid and Moonstone are also matte. Based on your preferences, I would suggest Moonstone and Lurid for you. You may be also interested in the combo of True Luv and Cutie Pie or Miss You.

Thank you for your advise, I'll take a look at the colours you suggested. But I was actually wondering what's the difference between Moonstone and Lurid? And the same with Rizzo and Nudge Nudge. My last post wasn't very clear, sorry.

I second Burnished instead of Chocolate Twinkle for cool tones.

Oh, haha, gotcha. Well, Moonstone is lighter and more 'flat' than Lurid. I can use that for creasing or outer corner, while Lurid is mostly left for lining. It seems to have some extra plumminess to it too, and some slight sparkle, while Moonstone is matter.

Ok, I narrowed it down a bit and found some new interesting shades I think I will definitely order Idolize, Moonstone, Taupetastic and Martian. But I'm still not sure if I need all of the following colours:

Earth
Nudge Nudge
Aztec
Slate
Chic

Do I need all of those or are some of them similar to each other?

Slate is a liner, while the others could work as lid or crease colors. If you just get one of the above, you must get Earth
