Liner shades?

Post by Autumn » Sat Jul 14, 2012 6:06 pm

I think at one time there was a category for eye shadows that would be good liners.

I am fair skinned, blonde and green eyed. I like to use a dark colour as a liner and I prefer to dry line.

I have and love Velvet. I have other liners from SN; but I am thinking of something new to try with my next order.

Linger was suggested on another mineral forum and it is in the wishlist.

I have a dark brownish shade from another company that I really like and it is my "don't know what colour to pick" choice.

Any suggestions are appreciated? I often wear Adorn (own two jars) and like to do one colour washes and a quick line.

What are your favorite shades for lining?

My favorite liners are Bewitched and Mink, but our coloring is different. I have gray eyes, neutral coloring leaning towards cool, brown hair.

You might like Vogue. I loved the color but can't go that dark.

Have you tried Basalt? We have the same colouring and Basalt looks great on me, it is a really dark brown, matte colour. I just mix a little bit on the back of my hand with the SN Mixing Medium and it dries really quick, the line doesn't smudge.

I don't own Basalt but I do have similar colours from other MMU companies.

I did order Linger on my last order.

I'm using a mix of Custom, Clutch, Fusion and Hairpin. Love the EL finish!

My favorite liner is Dark Arts. Great for my hazel eyes. Esp. to line under eye.
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow
