HELP! Are there any color creative people out there that can help me?

[akcmommy]

I have a TON of eye shadows but I don't know good combinations for what I have. I usually see the MAC MAs wearing something cute and I'll buy the shadows they have on. But then, I don't know how to make those colors work with anything else.
I've looked online and found the website that has all of the different combinations but I just really need someone to hold my hand and make recommendations.

Please?

I own (in no particular order):
Graphology
Gleam
Vex
Night Manoeuvers
Tempting
Copperplate
Shadowy Lady
Mont Black
Nocturnelle
Aquavert
Dear Cupcake
Moon's Reflection
Tilt
Contrast
Talent Pool
French Grey
Sunset B
Club
Arctic Grey
Satin Taupe
Hepcat
Naked Lunch
Girlie
Dazzlelight
Mystery
Expensive Pink
Trax
Seedy Pearl
Woodwinked
Deep Shade
Soft Brown
Smut
Sketch
Creme de Violet
Haux
Mulch
Silver ring
Hot Contrast
Polar Opposite
Stars & Rockets (on order from F&F)


Thank you!

You know I have the same problem. I have a TON of eye shadows that I've never used because I don't know how.

And all the ones that I use regularly are because I've seen a FOTD or a tutorial on your tube.

Thank you for your posts. Is there anyone else who can take a stab?

You can always just look up colors on youtube there's a video for every color.

Vex + Trax + Sketch
Woodwinked + Tempting + Shroom
Naked Lunch + Copperplate
Expensive Pink + Nocturnelle + Shadowy Lady
Aquavert + Satin Taupe
Moon's Reflection + Tilt + Contrast
Sunset B + Nocturnelle + Shadowy Lady
Shroom + Satin Taupe

I'm sure there's more but these were off the top of my head.

Thanks! I'll have to try that. I tried Stars n' Rockets on the lid, Contrast on the outer corner, Vex on the inner corner and a smoky grey smashbox liner. My DH complimented the look.


Keep the ideas coming! Thank you all for your input.

lol, i think it's hilarious you listed all your eyeshadows for help with this.
anyways, i am currently wearing Moon's Reflection on the lid, Nocturnelle blended from the outer corner to about half way in and Contrast and then Graphology in the outer v to the crease for shaping.
i've gotten several compliments already!

i dont know if it's because i've had it the longest, but i can make sketch work with ANYTHING, lol! i recommend to try it with your blues and greens, and i'm almost positive it'll look good with Satin Taupe.
