[COLOR=181818]Okay I'm gna post some swatches! Sorry it took me so long to get around to it. I'm NW11 or so. I want to put them on the Artificially Wild swatches thread, but I'm not sure what to do because there aren't that many posts there and people still post pics in the regular thread... If you want me to delete them here and move them there, I can do that, I don't want anyone to be mad at me :( [/COLOR] [COLOR=181818]BROWNS APPARENTLY LOOK TERRIBLE ON ME. I love brown clothes and brown eyeshadow and brown bronzer and brown hair but brown lipstick is NO GOOD on my [/COLOR][COLOR=181818]lips :( Looks like my cousins are getting some presents!

[@]LauraLara[/@] girl you must be cray cray crazy! I think Yash & Icon look FANTASTIC on you! SERIOUSLY! At least keep those 2! Shitake isn't as easy to pull off as I initially hoped. But it looks gorg on you too! I think these shades really work w your coloring. It might just be a comfort zone thing for you. Once you see them on yourself a few more times, I bet you grow to love them! I used to really not be comfortable in RiRi Nude. But now I use it a lot! Same with Party Parrot. Give them each a little more love before you make a decision to part w them!!

I like Yash on you! I don't think it's best with that hair color, but it suits your complexion

Yeah I hated it on, but now looking at the pic it's kind if pretty... I should have coordinated the wigs with the lips, but I just wore each wig for like three colors so I wouldn't get them all snarly taking them on and off... And I had to do the swatches from lightest to darkest or risk staining my lips... I just wanted my giant pile of wigs to b used for something lol. Okay, I'm gna keep this lipstick :)

I couldn't see it on me, either, and I'm Nc-15.

I'm neutral (NC/NW) 15-20 and Next to Skin works as a contour on me and as a natural looking blush. But i generally dislike intense blushes and usually prefer a lighter hand with cheek colors.

Not always... i got lovely rich plummy Animal Instinct from Novel Romance, but i am careful when i put it on. I AM an old lady and i don't want to have that old lady blush look.

I've been wearing the lip colors i got from this collection almost every other day, Shitake lipstick and Obviously Bare lipglass -- I already own Icon lipstick and Explicit lipglass. Now I'm thinking of getting Spite, because the newer creme lipglasses are very nice - opaque and nicely colored - and it looks like it will be a good color for me (i'll have to give it the sniff test, based on what Mandy said, tho). I'm also considering seeing if my local MAC still has De-Nude, because it has a golden quality that may or may not work... i wasn't convinced with it on my arm, but maybe on my blue-pink lips it'll be better.

I've been using Breaking Ground CCB as a highlight on my cheek bones and it works really well. I confess i have to figure out how to use Au Nature (the mustard-olive one), probably as a contour, although it would work better on someone with a warm or olive skin tone than on me. The SA seems to have forgotten to give me Shell (i wasn't charged) and i wanted it. So i have a couple reasons to go back to the store.

I still need to really use the eyeshadows... i've used them a little, but i need to do more with them. I've been concentrating on testing all the Electric Cool eyeshadows i got from Novel Romance - since some are *great* but a couple are duds (the purple turns an ugly red bruise color after a while). Once i get those e/s settled, i'll be working with all four e/s i got from this collection. I wear matte e/s mostly as contour, and i think these will work wonderfully. And Artificial Earth will be a great base color for me.

Crap! I got the purple Electric Cool and haven't worn it yet. I ordered Marsh tonight, since I actually don't have anything like it. Does Breaking Ground last long? I have oily skin and I worry that it would slide off of my face.
