I'm still trying to figure out if I love Damson or not. Thinking maybe I should leave it alone for a few months then revisit it?
Damson definitely has a bit of a yellowish/greenish undertone, so if you're a bit sallow around the eyes, I could see it having an unwelcome cast to it. It works on me because of my eye color and the purple aspect of it, but if you have the bluish type dark circles, then the purple would be bad on that. If you have bluish circles and some sallowness then that would be a bad Damson double-whammy. Plus it's a pretty dark color that i think will look better when we get all the way past summer into fall and winter.
I'd say use a true peach colored base with it - that'd probably be the best way to prime things. Peach blush and peach nude lipsticks would be a good combo with it too. 'Hope you can make it work! It's a color that looks good on a lot of different people, but it's really hard to make a color that works for 100% of people, without it being a little boring too - and Damson is not boring - that's for sure!
