What was Your First Eyeshadow?

[thanh13]

Mine was actually Mulch from MAC and that was 10 years ago. And I still use it to this day (not the same pan...)

I dont remember the name of the color, but it was a shimmery white by Cover Girl. I used to wear it all over my lid...yikes!!

First shadow ever was a quad from Claire's I think. It consisted of a baby blue [which i favoured, wore it ALL over from the lash line to brow with no mascara..it was great! AHAH], a lilac shade, a darker version of the lilac, but about 2 shades darker and a light green. My friend gave it to me for my birthday...and i made myself look like a baby prostitute. Not gunna lie.
First MAC eyeshadows I got were Retrospeck, Tempting and Bronze [bought them all at the same time].

My first eye shadows were in this palette by Estee Lauder that had like 30 eye shadows in it. My grandmother got it, and then gave it to my aunt. Then my aunt gave it to me. I used up all the grays and blacks in it before I threw it away. I always tried to do blue eye shadow and red lipstick at the age of 10 when I had that. My mom always made me wash it all off. *Thanks mom!*

My first MAC eye shadows were Carbon and Dementhe. I am so glad I went to work for a CCO. I don't think I ever would have discovered MAC if it had not been for that!

my first eyeshadows were estee lauder too! ahahaha. i actually got a beautiful gift set from my aunt for my sixteenth birthday. it had a makeup case (like a plastic one) you could put on your dresser, lipsticks, lip liners, two huge eye palettes in warms and cools, blushes, brushes, the whole shabang. i remember thinking that i didn't have a clue what to do with them. the stuff eventually got wrecked and i threw all but a few items away. who knew i'd become this makeup monster who checks specktra alllll day...

Thank God, I soon discovered browns, taupes and plums, and never looked back.

My first e/s was also blue. It was my mothers probably from the early seventies. It was a gold twist up lipstick tube and the e/s was bright light blue cream. I think I was about 8 or 9 when I would wear it to the church disco so around 1980

Then in the early 80's when I was allowed to buy my first make-up for real I got those covergirl trios one was blues and the other was plums.

A Nivea Duo e/s in black and white, wanted to look goth lol

I always got my aunts old make-up when I was a teenager. Stuff she didn't want or use anymore like Clinique lipstick, Cutex nailpolish, EL eyeshadow. The first e/s I bought myself was Beige Estompe from Bourjois when I was 19 if I'm correct. I still love products from Bourjois nowadays.

The first MAC e/s I got were Lola and Quarry, also from my aunt. She bought them for herself, didn't like them and ended up giving them to me.

my first eyeshadow was some virgin vie palette, but my first mac eyeshadow was carbon. i don't really use it often!

When I was growing up the drugstore brands were Cutex,Maybelline,Covergirl,Yardley ("come and play in my Yardley") and the dept store brands were Borghese,Lancome,Estee Lauder,Elizabeth Arden,and Ultima 2. Of course there was Revlon and Max Factor bridging the gap,and Avon and FashionFair and also Shiseido.Ponds and AngelFace were big drugstore brands and CornSilk was a popular powder. The first eyeshadow I owned was dark blue, and it looked awful. The first cosmetic I owned was a pink lipgloss in pizza flavor that got me "grounded for life" . I was like 15 at the time. I got the first deep blue eyeshadow from my mother at age 16,when people thought I was a boy with long hair,albeit a very beautiful boy at that! We didn't get any beauty magazines at home, but I read Teen,17,Madamoiselle and American Girl in the public library. I learned to put on makeup after dragging around an artportfolio of my my drawings and paintings and instead of getting a job doing illustrations for a dept store got hired as a model. Instead of using Cornsilk and Maybelline,I was introduced to real brushes and higher end products. I still did not like shopping in dept. stores for makeup because I found them "intimidating". To this day,I still don't like department stores....not because they are intimidating, but because some MA's think because I am wearing a good bit of makeup that I'm an easy mark....

My first eyeshadow(s) were those crappy little Markwins eyeshadows that they sell around Christmas. For a twelve-year-old girl I guess that wasn't too bad.

My first MAC eyeshadow was Paradisco. It's still one of my favorites.

 

[nylonbits]

[redambition]

oh dear.. it was a really horrible trio from australis.

an apricot colour, a brown and a mucky green.

the apricot and brown looked ok, but you had to really pack it on to get any sort of colour to show.
