What to pair with Newly Minted and Prussian?

Sophia84 · 10-30-2007, 07:31 AM #1 (**permalink**)

I love both e/s Newly Minted and Prussian from the Matte2 collection, the Mac MA suggested pairing these both together, wearing Newly Minted all over the main lids and Prussian on outer corner but I tried it and it looks so intense and bright for me, so I want a lighter e/s to pair with Newly Minted and another light one to pair with Prussian, an recs?? I'm NC25 with brown eyes.

i don't pair my newly minted with a light shadow, what i do is apply newly minted on the lid and black tied on the outer corner. It's less intense than what the MA suggested because it's not bright.
you can also do a smokey green look with nely minted like pairing it with juxt or swimming. you can also pair it with browns!

You can use prussian as a smokey or normal blue look, like having a lighter blue on the lid and applying prusian in the crease.
hope this helps!

any dark blues you have got. eg, deep truth you can also smoke it up with any black eyeshadow like carbon or blacktied. If you have bought any dark blue eyeshadows from the blue storm collection that will work as well!

I use Prussian over CCB Root. Which you have to lightly pat the color onto your eye with your finger or it won't apply too smoothly over a cream. And then I use Brown Script above crease and at eye corners.

I'm not a bright eyeshadow color type of person, so when I do use a colorful shadow, I always apply over Root. I love Root CCB all by itself too.

On www.youtube.com you can find a video from Pursebuzz presenting the Matte2 collection and suggesting combos.

Hey there!
Prussian looks very good with Beautiful Iris. It's such a pretty combination!
You can also try Newly Minted with Plumage, Club, Clarity, Femme Noir, etc. With these combinations you're still in the Greens, but you can also branch out if you want to make it brighter: I love it with a strong contrasting color like Hepcat or Nocturnelle, for example.
