Suggestions for the Fall eyeshadows.......
I am a simple eye gal that is kind of light in tone. I would highlight with Papyrus, Tawny on lid, and Patina on the outer V with Burnished liner if I wanted a slightly green look, or Burnished on the outer V and as liner for more neutral. Other combos.....Papyrus, Tawny, Wheat Penny......Tawny as a highlighter for the medium toned gals, Wheat Penny lid, and again Burnished or Patina as mentioned above. I also might do a Papyrus, Heather, Burnished eye.

If I add in Aubergine, I might do Tawny or Papyrus highlight, Heather on the lid, Alloy on the crease and Aubergine on the outer V or liner.
Image
Any other ideas?
Some other pics....

My next group is the Holiday Collection...and then I will move on to doing everything all over again mostly by color.

I did not forget about the foundation blends, either.

All swatches are accurate in NATURAL LIGHT (cool winter sunlight) on very pale skin - except Frolic, which for some reason looks really cool and ashy in these photos. On my lips it looks slightly warm and is a very sheer copper/pink shade.

Finally got swatches done of the lippies I got (I also included the 4 I already had), here they are:

Sparkle ; Gleaming ; Mimosa ; Maiden ; Centerfold ; XXX ; Ingenue

Image

XXX looks dark on my pasty white skin, but it actually does give me the "erased lips" look, I think because it is so opaque, the others that are sheer just look lighter because they are so sheer and the skin color of my arm is coming through.


Very Berry ; Celestial ; Berry Crush ; Precious ; Bloom ; Peace ; Raindrops on Roses ; Temptation ; Winter Rose ; Symphony

Thought I'd add these here since I posted them on another thread. I hope these aren't too big, I haven't posted pics before so I'm still trying to figure out what size is best for what. :)

All the bright mattes from the latest release, plus vanilla and raven for comparison! Pics 1 and 2 are in direct sunlight from the window, pic 3 is indoors, so normal natural light.The more pigmented swatches are with a damp brush, the lighter ones were lightly brushed on with a regular brush to show how blendable they are.
