Would it work with Naked Lunch, Kitten, Shale, Quarry, Yogurt or Sketch? Any other ideas?
I am really lemming Smut. How do you wear it?

I've had smut for awhile and never thought to use it with satin taupe and shroom...you should post a FOTD! I'm having a hard time imagining how to use it with the other two colors

LOL... at the moment, I use it to fill in my eyebrows. (That sounds ridiculous because there's a lovely shimmer to it... but after about a million different kinds of eye pencils that were too black, too red, too burgundy, too light...too horrible!...I've found smut looks great).

Smut is awesome. I love Smut. It's actually very versatile. I use it for and with everything. I've used it as liner, and for my brows as well. It's got red shimmer but it's almost Matte but not quite.
To me it's like an alternative black, so I'd pair it with just about anything really.

Hmm...I was a little worried about the red shimmer. I generally try to avoid reddish shades b/c they are not flattering on my NC30 skin. Is the red very noticable?

Actually you can't see the red shimmer at all. But I think that's what makes it so versatile, it gives it depth and softness. It's like a dark taupe, kind of grey, brown but dark enough that you can use it as a liner. And I'm not procelain skinned I'm C35. I'd do a swatch for ya, but I'm at work right now

That's good to know...thanks! I was sort of imagining that it would show up as sort of a deep plum-gray which would be really nice since plums/purples and grays work well for me. I ordered it from MAC, so I guess I will find out soon enough!

I wear Smut in my crease with Flammable paint over the lid and the red side of Mi'Lady over that. Hotness!

Ive been seeing these amazing eye looks all over the internet using smut but, I don't know if it's just me, I find that it goes SUPER patchy on me and creases in the weirdest places like my inner corner! I'm wearing Painterly underneath (usually bullet proof on me) but I just can't seem to make it work. It's ok when I want my eye makeup to look more "grungy" & "lived in" but on counter it just looks sloppy! Anyone else?

The only way I've found to avoid that when I use smut is to place it on with a patting motion (I like the 239 or 242 brushes for this technique) as opposed to swiping it on (say with a 217 brush). After placing it on this way, packing it on to get the intensity I'm after, I blend it out carefully/blend the edges usually with a 224 or 217 to avoid harsh lines. And I always like my paint pots as well as the base. Some days I just avoid it LOL. It does make a beautiful soft eyeliner when all else fails!
I've used Smut in the outer corner (works great with Satin Taupe or Shale, IMO). After reading this thread I tried it as a brow colour (usually I use Brun, as I have fairly dark brows), and it looked really good. Better than Brun, I think! (I think because Smut is slightly more ashy?)
