Where should we start? Hehe.

I like using Softwash grey with a brown color like Tempting or Mulch. You can also use it with a light gold color (Gold Dusk pigment) like the person who modeled it for Sundressing. I don't own Gold Dusk so I used it with Good as Gold pearlizer once. Results were very similar. I haven't tried this yet, but how about a dark purple color like Grape pigment or Au Contraire e/s? HTH!

it's a bit soft but a bit bright;;

I wear a color that's similar to gold dusk [bonnebell loose powder for 88 cents] on the inner 1/3 of the lid. then blend in softwash grey on the outter 2/3 up in crease and partially above the 'gold dusk' in crease. then vanilla pigment for the highlight. on the bottom lid i put a line of a red that's very similar to coppering, possibly not such a fiery red. but then i blend the line out so it's not so harsh looking.

here's the best picture i could find of it...

I wore it once with Lily White to highlight. I liked how it looked. I've wanted to try it with Kitchmas as well, but I haven't got around to it yet.

silverbleu shadestick as a base all over lid. softwash gray applied allover lid, as a sheer wash. silver (the discontinued frost one, not the metal) pigment, blended horizontally into carbon, which is in the crease. i hope that makes sense. but its a gorgeous smoky blue/black look. black liner, a sheer layer of MSF on the cheeks, and nude lips (i'm particularly in love with 15 minutes lipstick, from a muse).
