Eyeshadow Shade Similarities

[Sushi_Flower]

I've got the Inventive Eyes quad - which similar permenant colours do i not need to buy now?
And note i don't have a huge collection of shadows so i'm not fussed about missing out on permenant colours that are a little bit different for now, if it's roughly similar then i don't want it for now.

Hey VV ill post a swatch tommorrow for da bling and Pink Pappillion, funny that i swatched it today to see if they were the same, my take on it is that Pink Papillion is more chalky than frosty like da bling is. For some reason i kept saying pink papillion reminds me of the pepto bismo color...lol

 

[user2]

Oh thanks MACgirl! Can't wait for the swatch!!

Is it me or are Temperley and Tease and Teal quite similar?

 

[Ms. Z]

Anybody able to answer the above? It's just that i'm going to end up getting some neautral shadows that i don't have sometime soon and i'm thinking i'll probably end up with some similar colours if i'm not carefull as i'm not clued up about what's similar in the neutrals.

Hey Sushi_Flower

IMHO I think that Twillery is similar to All that glitters, and White wheat is similar to Dazzlelight.
Not identical by any means but "similar" as in you probably don't need both. Although that said I am stupid, and am always drawn to shades that are similar, lol.

Is it just me or is Buff de Buff the exact same as Banshee?
I just got Banshee and I compared the two and they look IDENTICAL...anyone else?

I use Juxt in place of Metamorph and Aquadisiac in place of Meadowland on my NW15 complexion. HTH!

I haven't seen them side by side, but that was my thought when I saw the palette in store. I thought it *was* banshee untill I looked.

hepcat and plum dressing are the same freakin shade, as far as i'm concerned
mulch = coco beach

ITA, when the palettes were first released the MA's at my counter were calling the warm palette "the one with Banshee"

I bought surreal today and could not believe how close it looked to shimmermoss (on skin, but not neccesarily in the pot)

 

[mspixieears]

A few I can think of:

Silver Ring & Anti-Establishment - had both, swapped away AE untested as they looked similar enough to me.

Au Contraire & Mystical Mist - swapping away MM as again, similar enough to me. Have tested neither on skin. MM might be a tad greyer/darker, at least from looking at swatches posted in the Swatch forum.

Does anyone have one for De Menthe?? TIA!

Sprout/Swimming

I have SPROUT & LUSTRELEAF, and I want to buy two more greens... I'm thinking HUMID and SWIMMING or HUMID and JUXT...

How similar is SPROUT to SWIMMING? If I have one, do I need the other?

Thanks girls/boys!!!

 

[litlaur]

It's a little different. If you like really sparkly colors, go ahead and get Swimming. I like Juxt a lot more though

It has a wonderful texture. Here's a comparison:

 

[Noire]

I love greens, but for some reason I'm not a big fan of Humid. Swimming is nice, sparkly, similar to Pickle on me (I put one on each lid, and couldn't tell the difference with eyes open, although Pickle is actually quite different). Swimming is popular but not a favorite of mine. Just is nice, I'd be more worried that it is similar to Lustreleaf (can't remember exactly what that one looks like) than worried about Sprout and Swimming. Those two aren't much alike to me.

I love Humid, it looks great when paired with Sumptuous Olive and Tempting. I don't know anything about Sprout or Swimming, can't help you there. But yes to Humid! Maybe add a 3rd Sumptuous Olive to the mix?
