If anyone is curious:
Pose eye shadow, the
GWP for Feb 20-Feb 24 (I think).
Pose appears like a cool soft shimmery brownish bronze with what looks like purple and green sparkle. I haven't worn it out yet. I'm also a novice, and I don't know how to wear dark eyeshadows.
The top swatch is
Pose applied wet, and bottom swatch is
Pose heavily applied dried.

I see that the next GWP is a lip gloss

No problem bestbeauty! Hope you enjoy
Pose...somehow the name "Pose" makes me think of Derek Zoolander sucking in his cheeks.
Swatches of
Bailey (Tan Suede) and
Sweet Tea (Deep Peachy Brown). Just by looking at the bottom of the containers, both
Bailey and
Sweet Tea looked similar, but
Sweet Tea being a tad darker. But swatching on skin, there is a noticeable difference. Both have a suede finish, and both are different color variations of tea with milk...
mmm glistening milk tea.
Bailey (top swatch) &
Sweet Tea (bottom swatch) applied dried. Last photo is with flash. Sorry, my camera makes colors fade..so I have to enhance contrast.

Yes, please!

..that would be very helpful, bestbeauty. I usually just use pale colors on the lid, but I don't know where to apply the medium to dark shades like Pose. Thanks!

Is it just me or does Bailey look like Benefit's Watt's Up highlighter?

Hi Lemon, I finally received my GWP pose yesterday, only for the camera to have run out of battery.....anyway I decided that pose wasn't as dark as it looked on screen, so given the colour in front of me and the very limited SN eye shadows that I own generally, to pair with pose, this is what I did....I kept it simple.....
Stick 'em all over the lid
Bone crease to brow with a fluffy brush.
Pose patted on dry, lash line to crease with a smallish flat brush. Run this gently below the lower lash line.
When deciding to how far up to take the colour, I suggest that you pat it on as if you are placing the shadow onto the top of the eyeball (sort of) See pic.
I know this sounds odd as I write, but I find that it works if you don't know where to stop the colour.
Take the same fluffy brush you used for bone, and blend the two, working up and out.
If you wish, add some nekkid to this area, above the crease.
Mix some clear cream liner medium with some basalt, and make a little eyeliner - apply with a pushliner brush, across top lash line only.
Add mascara.

Oh, now I'm sad I missed Pose. All the GWPs lately have been perfect as one washes or highlights for me.
