Pink eyeshadow
Posted: Tue May 01, 2012 6:02 pm
I was playing with Tart and Sonic last night and I found just the colour I want for a shadow. Approx 1 Tart to 4 Sonic. Gentle pink with some copper pinky gold sheen, no hints of blue or grey (which look awful on me).
Then I remembered the safety cautions, and checked up. I couldn't see which dye is used for Tart- was so hoping it was the Red#40.
If Tart doesn't use any dye other than Red#40 then I'm set. Otherwise, is there an existing colour that matches? Or maybe could be made?
To give context...
I'm about set to buy Phantom, Princess, Restless and Nekkid. I don't know enough colour theory to understand why greys and blues look so wrong on my skin, so my approach has been to get a whole bunch of colours I like and learn from my errors...I didn't think pink would be for me at all till I got the beach bum trio, so there you go. I was surprised at how colours like Aztec showed bluish on my skin, even Quartzite shadow and XXX nude lipstick look a bit grayish.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
