I understand cream shadows dry out over time, and even though this is not dried out, it doesn't look as nice. I just have to get over this.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-55636872073394302832014-03-12T21:58:28.875-04:002014-03-12T21:58:28.875-04:00This is a very pretty color but certainly not fir ...This is a very pretty color but certainly not fir a medium-tan girl like me. The green and pink shadow combination sounds nice though. Perhaps I could try that with a darker pink.

I had a Tom Ford representative try a pink palette and I just don't have the lids for it. LOVE to see it on others! Maybe when I shop again I will ask for a try out! At this point of my life I have rather heavy lids. While I have worked in fashion and beauty all of my career I need refreshing 'courses'.JucithDMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-81687814601928544792014-03-12T16:33:51.656-04:002014-03-12T16:33:51.656-04:00Hi ya CG!

Darn CG you get me in trouble all the time! lol lol Just when I think I have enough eyeshadows ... bingo here is another one!<br /><br />Warm Regards,<br />JoanneVancouverChicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-90845828244446829502014-03-12T16:28:19.400-04:002014-03-12T16:28:19.400-04:00I have this!

I usually wear the lightest yellow foundation companies make.<br /><br />I like that it's sheer, but you can actually build it up really well and have the color be fairly vibrant on. No, it's not Urban Decay loud, but it's still pretty bold for Chanel. I really love mine.<br /><Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-38925045663731064732014-03-12T14:03:16.941-04:002014-03-12T14:03:16.941-04:00Hi Charlestongirl,

I bet that green and pink combination you spoke about would look great, though.<br /><br />Take good Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-5360111534977211442014-03-12T13:00:04.415-04:002014-03-12T13:00:04.415-04:00How interesting!

It ends up looking a lot like one of my favorites, Shiseido's Shimmering Eye Color PK214, which is something I would never have picked up until I saw it used in a Lisa Eldridge video (guest makeup artist for a fair redheads look).

Betwen ER visits and doc appointments of late, I am peddling as fast as I can, but going nowhere fast. Geez.<br /><br />I'm not sure I'd use it as a base on my eyes. Pink can make me look so tired when applied on full lid below the crease. I'm tired already. :)Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-24297576111611262032014-03-12T10:54:38.864-04:002014-03-12T10:54:38.864-04:00I've seen a few pictures of this being used as...I've seen a few pictures of this being used as a base for the Jardin Zin quad. It transforms the overall look from daytime delicate to evening shimmer. This is such a pretty collection and, for once, we're actually getting it for spring :-) Lovely color, Charlestongirl.
