Yeah, that's what I did. Back in December, Macy's had a lot of old eye shadows on their website and I was thrilled to copy and paste those descriptions, too. So, I have a database of eyeshadow colors and their descriptions.
It helps me to combine colors and know what the underlying shades are. I'm not a MUA and have no creativity when it comes to making up combos for my NW45 skin.
Also, don't forget to look in "Color Stories" for descriptions of past colors.
