The NEW official Specktra swatch thread!

[lara]

How do I make a swatch request?
Easy! Post a reply to this thread with the item that you'd like to see swatched, plus any condition requests (on unlined lips, on dark/pale skin, etc). This not a thread exclusively for MAC products.

How do I answer a swatch request?
Even easier! When you see a swatch request you can fill, press and then you can respond to the request by either attaching an image file, link to a picture uploaded to the Specktra Gallery or link to an image uploaded to a private server or image hosting site like Photobucket. The Swatch Request subforum keeps a limit of all pictures being a maximum of 640 pixels wide and 800 pixels high, so check your sizes if the picture looks a little large. Don't forget to give as much relevant detail as you can - lighting conditions, whether or not you've used a base, and other little but important details. Please remember to use quote to insert the original request into your post, as this thread will frequently be pruned of fufilled requests to make it easier to search.

Please do not start a new thread with an individual swatch request, or respond to a swatch request in this thread with a new individual thread. The point of this thread is to keep all our miscellaneous swatches as a single easily-searched resource.

Can someone please post a swatch of Politely Pink lipstick on unlined lips, please? Thank you!

Politely Pink lipstick on unlined lips, taken in natrual lighting without flash. I'm NW15, I hope this helps!

And remember, a clear swatch is a useful swatch! Try to be as colour accurate as possible, make sure the picture is in focus, and try to include as much relevant detail as you can. Unless the request asks for products to be layered ("Rebel lipstick over Beet lipliner, please!"), avoid layering products: it alters the colour and texture of the swatch and makes it a little less useful.

Happy swatching!

I would like to see swatches of Venetian Lustreglass vs. Valentines Lipgelee either on bare lips or skin! Thanks!

Plus if it helps I am very pale with thin, light pink lips! Lol

[Vedra]

Shitaki l/s please! - cause there's currently nowhere a swatch to be found of this, it would be a real service to the community . (on pale-to-medium lips, light skin or paper would all be fine)

If possible vs. a well-known neutral shade like VGV or Hug Me or other (for real-life-assessment of screen colors).

Maybe finally someone will lift the mystery TIA!

Can somebody please swatch Barbie Fab blush and Nars Outlaw?
I'm NC25/30 if that helps at all.

TIA!

Hello.
Could someone please post a swatch comparison of Dove Feather and Shale? I'd just like to see how they look together. I'm about an NC 20.
If you have any other purple/lavender/plum colors, would love to see those, too.

thanks!
