"skintone color with a sheen " eyeshadow ?

[urbanD0LL]

hey !

i was watching a video of the lovely DrBrooklyn730 on youtube and she was saying that Ricepaper is a nice color for her because it's like her skintone but with a sheen , and I've been searching forever for something similar but FAIL! So I'd like an eyeshadow that's like the color of Nw43-45 color but with " a sheen" , meaning pearl or satin .

Let me know please !

For me this is NYX's champagne - it's a light tan with a nice bit of shine to it. I'm an NC40 or so, but it may work for you too (and if it's a shade too light, it makes a good brow highlight~)

How about MAC Soba. It's almost a little light for me but it works as a skintone with sheen--I'm NW45/NC50.

i second soba, thats my skintone with a sheen and i'm nc50. Or you can try cork, its a little more matte but a close second.

Patina and Sable are pretty... also try mulch, twinks.

Texture e/s is my skintone with a sheen. I love that color so much.

sable i fell in love with but it had a little red tint to it, but i might have to go check it out again . i have texture as well ... okay just swatched it and i think we have a winner . i'm still going to go check out the other colors mentionned on here , i'm also going to check Inglot.

I use Romp as a my skin tone but better eyeshadow. I love it! I'm NW45/47

I second Romp (NW45-50), Twinks would work too.

I think MAC Texture, the sheen is very subtle but it's a beautiful skintone colour. And Saddle

I am cool toned chocolate (MAC NW44 / Sleek Sepia / Revlon Colorstay 400 Caramel) and find colours like Romp, Tempting, etc too orangey bronze on my skintone. MAC Twinks and Sable are too red.

So far my ultimate my skin colour with sheen is Rimmel Smokey Quartz. It is very similar to MAC Sable but without the red undertone. I find MAC Satin Taupe shows as a subtle MLBB sheen on my eyes. I also adore Max Factor Earth Spirits Burnt Bark (think a lighter, muted moth brown - close to Satin Taupe)

urbandoll you articulated exactly what I've been trying to ask others. I've been on the search for a natural looking flesh toned eye shadow that has sheen but still blends in with my skin color. I rarely see this on darker skin tones. In the past I've asked Mac makeup artist and they suggested colors like woodwinked, honey lust and amber lights. Why oh why would they suggest colors like that. So Im really happy that the ladies on specktra are suggesting realistic colors for you.

I love Ochre Style too but I never though of it as being close to my skin color. i'm nc44. But it does apply sheer and shimmery. You might be right. LOL. i need to pull it out again.

My absolute favorite highlight is Saddle (not shiny), but I like Texture also.
