Eye shadow close to Splendid?

Post by egerandi » Sun Mar 25, 2012 2:51 pm

I'm travelling with minimal arsenal, and needed something quick and easy for my eyes as I was wearing Hot Blooded on lips. I happened to have a sample-sized Splendid (works pretty well when I want something more luminous on my cheeks), so I reached for that one because all the shadows I packed were either too muted or too bright or too pink. Turns out, it's the perfect understated goldish/creamish/sparklish (sorry) color. It gave a bit of something on my eyes, didn't have to leave it bare to let Hot Blooded do its thing. It also worked quite nicely with my blue eyes. I may already own something like it, does anyone have an idea which gold-ish shadow it is? I'm thinking, I may just mix Cream with Homecoming Queen? Or perhaps something darker, like Bond and Cream? HQ seems a bit too bright and light on me as one wash and Bond is too gold for what Splendid is.

Hiya hope you're having a great time!

I'm thinking Sonic. Maybe Juiced or Whisper, though Whisper leans a little towards a nude fleshy pink. Any good?

Yes, I'm loving my vacation on the motherland/continent :)

Sonic may work, but I'd have to tone it down with Cream. I'll try that when I get home. Whisper is very sparkly and pinky, and Juiced is light, but I'll experiment. If nothing else, it's time to get a F/S of Splendid and make it multitask :)
