Gorgeous

Thank you, Monidoll4u!

Good to know that patting might fare better for Hajar Karim. thanks everyone. I haven't been able to get NYX Milk to work well for me. It's either patchy or too opaque. I may have to just move on to Paint Pots.

I'm still using my trusty shadesticks!!!

Any other suggestions for MAC transition colors?  I do have soft brown and I use it but I am trying to find other transition colors to try. 

Depending on your skintone, you could try Wedge, Omega, Cork, Soba, Saddle, or Texture.

Rule and orange are also great transition colours when working with darker colours, as well as brown script.

I don't have much luck with Milk either. I did get a Milani pencil recently, and so I am going to give that one a go as a base.

If you are having trouble with Milk, use the stick to put it on then pat it with your finger to make it even. It's by far the best base I've found, makes my eyeshadows so vibrant and last forever.

Looks like I'm going to skip HK. I love Sassy Grass too much. I can anyone with Beautyburst compare it to Saffron for me?

 

[Yazmin]

no prob...
I actually haven't used it before, I usually use texture or saddle in the crease, but sometimes, depending on the day, they give a tad bit too much color.
I think it'll work very well as a crease/blending color. my friend, who's about an NC 43-44 uses it all the time.

Soft brown is also a good transition color.

I've seen a few video tutorials where they use SB as a transition. It's too light for me, so I tend to use Blunt blush, Brown Script, or my latest fave, Uninterrupted.

Just got uninterrupted recently -- loving it.

Same here....I would never have thought that I' d love such a color but it is great!

I bought after reading erines raves and I am really happy that I got it.

I bought it too after seeing Pixiwoo use it in a video...now I need to actually use it.

I'm loving the Rimal Dahabia quad and soft brown! Used it for the first time today and its such a perfect everyday quad. I wish they would make soft brown permanent in the UK!

 

[Kaidan]

Nice swatches !

It's a bummer about Hajar Karim being a bit of a problem. Banafsaji and Parrot look stunning, but I'll probably buy Parrot only. Can someone swatch Parrot with UD Dashiki and UD Peace to see if they're similar?

I've done that, and it just don't work for me. I am sure I can find a base that works for my lids that I can test it on.

Me too! I love Uninterrupted. I got it after seeing the lovely Jaclyn Hill on YT using it for a tutorial

My Parrot just arrived. I love it as much as I expected and had nothing like it.

I caved and ordered Parrot today. I should have ordered a little will-power

 

[Medgal07]

I love, love love using Rule and other orange hues as transition shades. I love it to peek subtly from behind and slightly above a nice brown crease color like Uninterrupted and even Indie Spirit. I also like using Hot Paprika as a transition color.

I love those eye looks w/a transition shade like rule peeking through. I find it hard to do it myself but I love the way it looks on others. I had a MAC MUA use Goldenrod as a transition color once just peeking through a brown crease color and I loved it. So much so that I bought goldenrod but I have a tough time making it work when I try to use it.

Please have a look for me if they have some left because I need that on the double!

It's my absolute favorite colour of all time!

I am a noob at collecting MAC e/s I only have 4 quads and 14 e/s's in my double palette. I have only a few bright colors so I am really wanting some suggestions on MAC dupes for the new Dior Bird Of Paradise Quint. http://fabfashionfix.com/dior-bird-of-paradise-summer-2013-make-up-collection/

*I ORDERED PARROT E/S ALREADY*

That quint looks gorgeous!!

I found three at my CCO today, but none that would work as a neutral base. They were all metallic. I remember a silver and maybe bronze. Tundra and Street Cool I think.
