I have to be very careful with parfait amour... it's a liner or crease colour only for me, otherwise i look like i was punched. it's such a pity because i love the colour.

I second that!!!! Parfait Amour looks tres terrible on me!!!!

Wow, that's a first! I can understand some of the other ones mentioned here but Woodwinked is so universally flattering!

 

[Shimmer]

woodwinked and amberlights are two that while they're pretty on etc., take a lot of work to look "right" for me.

which is odd because I hear so many people rave about them. *sigh*

I bought Trax since the MA said it would look good on my skin tone, and I just look like my eyes are bruised instead

 

[Glitziegal]

I had problems making Trax, Slip Pink, and Cranberry look good. Trax and Cranberry make me look like roadkill, slip pink just doesn't do anything at all.

coco beach.. ugh... looks HORRIBLE on my eyes!

 

[Ambi]

Steamy was bright green [ick!] on me, on everyone else it looks so pretty bluish/teal but on me there was not a hint a blue.

I really hate the inconsistant gold glitter in Trax, I wish it came without the glitter.

Cranberry was brown on me, I'm really fair so I was surprised how different it looked on 'cause usually all colors look the same on me as they look in the pot.

 

[TESSAISDANK]

Satin Taupe sometimes makes me look bruised.

 

[Macnarsandlove]

jewel blue turns up nasty green no matter what base I use and bitter too

 

[Sprout]

Parrot doesn't really work for me. Too loud.

 

[Cruella]

I'm another person who can't get Trax to work for her. It came highly recommended because I have bluish-green eyes but it did nothing for me.

Mulch turns very red on me & makes me look tired; Cranberry makes my eyelids look raw.

blue brown pigment makes me look unhealthy. i tried using it with blue peep fluidline, and omg. i kept looking in the mirror and thinking "why do i look so sick?" when i washed it off and put on shimpagne instead, i looked way better.

sushi flower makes me look like i've been crying and rubbing my eyes

 

[Esperanza]

Some e/s have to be used in combos and then, they work really well: it's the case with Sushi Flower or Cranberry for me. And, when I first tried Blue-Brown pigment, I was like: "mmmm did someone smash me in the face when I was sleeping or what??" !! For the rec I'm NC15. It went reddish on me, but depends on the light... since then I use it a lot with other colors (it's totally amazing with Electric Eel on lower lashline

) and it's one of my fav piment. Sometime eyeshadows need to be (re)discover !

 

[gretchygretch84]

ugh. Hug Me l/s looks like absolute ass on me. I am super warm toned and have really pigmented lips with dark hair and medium skin (NC 30).

as far as shadows are concerned -- sushi flower, satellite dreams

 

[geeko]

i wanted to get sushi flower but the MA told me it's not suitable for my skintone as it will make my eye look swollen. It looks pretty in the pan though

 

[Fairybelle]

Another vote for Trax. It's a toughie to use without making me look like I have allergies (red eyes)! Too bad, because it is soooo pretty in the pan!

I love Woodwinked on other people but hate it on me...along with Honey Lust and Amber Lights.
