Eye Shadow Help (long)

Well-known member
I am so sorry that this is so long. Thanks so mucho in advance!

I made a list of eyeshadows I want,
1. Are any of these similar to each other so that it would be a waste to buy both?
2. Are any of these not worth buying because they just suck?
3. Are there Milani equivalents to any of these?
4. Do you reccommend any other colors?
5. In case you were wondering, I have woodwinked, goldbit, greensmoke, pink venus, trax, and steamy. I also have the inventive eyes quad.

Orange/Peach/Copper Colors
Casino* this is MEH. Amber Lights has a much better texture.

Coppering: Must have. Gorgeous crease color.

Yellow/Gold Colors
Chrome Yellow: Hard to work with and gets muddy easily. A lot of people love it though but I cant get it to work.

Gorgeous Gold: Gold with a greenish tinge to it. I don't like the pigmentation on it.

Goldmine: Very pretty color. I love this one.

Green Colors
Swimming: Awesome staple color. Texture is a Lustre which is kinda unfortunate but the color makes up for the texture.

Bitter: Another hard to blend color that just sits in my pallete.

Humid: Hot burning love! This is a color that every girl should have. Awesome for smokey looks and as a crease color.

Sumptuous Olive: Beautiful color. I love this shadow. Another staple for me.

Shimmermoss: Gorgeous color and awesome texture. Looks so pretty with purples.

Grey Colors

Carbon: I hate Carbon. It is so hard to work with and it gets a hard coating on it after use. I would just get a container of Onyx by Bare Escentuals. It is a loose shadow with a deep flat black color and it goes on super velvety.

Electra: Great silver color. My favorite one next to Platinum Pigment.

Knight Devine: So hot. Charcoal gray with bluish undertones and it is a VP. Yessssss.

Crystal Avalanche: Great Highlighting color. One of the standouts in Idol Eyes.

Neutral Colors
Shroom: Staple must-have color, for sure.

Oceanique*: This might be hard to get but it is absolutely stunning.

Nylon: Decent Hilighter. I prefer White Wheat though.

Retrospeckt: Ugh, so hard to work with.

Dazzlelight; A definate must-have.

Naked Lunch: Staple color for anypnes pallete.

I don't do pinks :/

Mulch: Gotta have as a crease and outer eye color.

Soba: Perfect for a neutral eye.

Rummy*: Might be hard to find. Nothing special. Just a brown color.

Patina: I cant figure this one out yet.

Amberlight: A definate yes.

Tempting: Another staple color for every girl.

All That Glitters. Gorrrrgeous.

I am getting lazy now so I am going to give my ratings out of 5..haha. one the lowest of course.

Tilt-3. Pretty but I never grab for it.

Freshwater: 5. amazing!

Deep Truth:5+++++++. This is my favorite shadow color.

Flash Track:4: Too close to Deep truth to be a 5

Moon's Reflection: 3 Too light for me but it depends on your tastes. Great Texture.

Zonk Bleu: very much like Aquadisiac and Steamy. I would get either/or before this.

Aquadisiac: see above.

Purple Colors
Idol Eyes; I cant deal with t his. So chunky and weird for me.

Parfait Amour: Gorgeous and complex purple. Must have.

Beautiful Iris: No need to get this if you have Parfait Amour.

Sattelite Dreams: Great purple color that is good to have if you cant get your hands on Au Contraire.

Nocturnelle: Great color for crease and outer eye.

Au Contraire*; If you can get this, get it. get one or two or three if you can. I use this alot and it is a total staple.

Say, Yeah!* - Love this one and it is a veluxe pearl,.. it is very close to Melon pigment though a little less gold tinted,..and also close to Paradisco but shinier,...I would buy this one again,...

Sushi Flower- Suprisingly a favorite of mine,.. though it is not a VP and is kinda matte it blends well,..I use it with everything,....I think the only matte shadow I couldn't live without,..great pigmentation,...

Expensive Pink-The HG of pinks??...VP,...a deep velvety dark pink. I couldn't get it in pro pan because it kept selling out and I couldnt wait for it to be shipped so I bought a pot and depotted. I hug it and kiss it and call it George. If they ever even rumor discontinuing this I will buy at least 20 backups,....

just wanted to tell you that plum dressing and hepcat look pretty similar, shimmermoss is great, I'd get that one over surreal (they look somewhat similar in the pot).

I also agree with say yeah! and living pink.

Naked lunch is great too

Swish is also a great pink to add to your list.
