What colors would you say are different? I can't swatch them.

Tea Rose is slightly more taupe in the new formula and it has a bit of luminosity compared to the old. Storm Grey is lighter, more of a grey than a chameleon grey, and it's pretty shimmery. It could be my skintone, but my Rosewood is more lavender taupe compared to the new one. On me, the new one is a little darker and a tad warmer. It appeared that way to my sister as well, who also has the old formula. If there are differences, it's really slightly and most people probably won't notice. The old Pale Barley was more shimmery and interesting to me than the new one. The base colour was the same, though. The new formula is indeed silkier and pigmented, though, so if the little nuances don't matter so much to you, I would say there is no need to rush out and try to find all the old formulas!

Thank you. With plenty of old formula products, I was hoping I wouldn't need to purchase replacements yet. Except for new colors I don't have.

Ladies, has anyone tried the new Dusty Mauve eye shadow? I'm not sure what to expect of it, but I love the name! I don't remember that one being the part of the old sheer eye shadow collection...

I am posting swatches of some new and old formulas for comparison. The top row from left to right. Pale Barley (new) Pale Barley (Old) Rosewood (old) Rosewood (new) Antique Blue (new) Almond (new) Taupe Brown (new) Bottom row from left to right Dusty Mauve (new) Midnight Brown (old) Stormy grey (new) Brown Chestnut (new) Stone (new) Colors on the picture are alittle lighter than they appear in real life. Pale Barley color in both formula are very similar except new formula is less pigmented and kind of one dimensional in my opinion. Rosewood in new formula is more pigmented and color is alittle different than the old formula. Its more burgundy/taupey brown and I like it alot better than old formula. Someone mentioned the new Rosewood is warmer than previos and I wholeheartedly agree. I cant compare other colors but my favorite from new formula is surprisingly Storm Grey and Dusty Mauve. First one is pewter taupe that is very elegant and sophisticated. I have warm skin tone and this color works very well for me surprisingly. I think it would work great for all skin types. Dusty mauve is hard color for me to describe. It doesn't look mauvey on the swatch but on the eyes it pulls dusty mauve. Works great with brown eyes.Antique blue is nice color but will suit better cooler skin tones I think.

It's No 203 Dusky Mauve. I thought it was Dusty too.

In person it swatches more of a dark grey-brown with a pink/purple sheen as it reflects the light.

Yup, that's what I posted about some of the colours too. I prefer the colour of the old Rosewood on my complexion, but the newer one has a better texture. The new Storm Grey works better on my complexion, too, because it's lighter and more pewter. I loved the chameleon like quality of the old version, but it usually pulled more greenish grey on me than anything.

I'll have to give Dusky Mauve another chance. I swatched it on my arm and it looked like a dark brownish mauve, but if it looks different on the eyes and the sheen comes out better, then I might get that mauve effect. Great swatches! Thanks!

Guess who just made her first Burberry purchase? This girl! I ordered the Burberry gold palette and am so stoked. This and the Shu uemura 16 shades of nude palette will keep me well covered for neutrals.
