Most of the time I go with the BB because I have black lashes and brows.

I had a determined Bobbi Brown MA who did a pretty good job on me once with a purple smoky eye! LOL<br /><br />Apropos mattes only on women of a certain age, who on earth started that terrible bit of advice? A misogynist obviously!

Even if you can't get your hands on this Chanel collection, most of the lines offer a nice medium-toned grey. Just find a MUA who won't turn you into a hooker.Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-73339015205039004022011-08-05T09:49:44.467-04:002011-08-05T09:49:44.467-04:00I don't have any grey shadows.

Before summer set in, I had been swiping it across my lids on workday mornings as I hurried to get ready. I can easily envision the blend with Chanel's new shade.<br /><br />I totally agree with your assessment that Chanel's mattes are not boring flats. I think it's the boring flats that so turned meCharlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-44592517964390027682011-08-04T21:19:25.179-04:002011-08-04T21:19:25.179-04:00I wonder how this would look with EB's Storm? ...I wonder how this would look with EB's Storm? I like to combine different finishes when I do an eye look. (That's what I love about Guerlain's palettes) Storm's shimmer would be tamed and softened for day by pairing it with a soft glowing matte. And face it, Chanel's mattes are not the flat, one dimensional kind that are so typical of many of the lesser brands.

When I saw the pic of this I thought, "meh, it's ok, looks like it may be too light of a grey that could turn blue on me." Then I saw the swatch on your arm & realized it's actually more of a mid-tone grey. Very lovely. Something I do not have in my arsenal of mostly nudes/taupes/browns. I think it will look gorgeous Sonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659666925770840731noreply@blogger.com
