^^Oooh, I forgot - Unflappable and Prance would be really pretty together as well for a nice smoky eye!

Hey guys, I've been trying to put up a photo but I'm having trouble getting it to upload...I did a few tests with Unflappable.
Using a primer made a massive difference to the payoff (I used Natio Ageless)
Over the base I normally use on my eyelids (a covergirl cream powder foundation and loose powder) had even better payoff. With these two the brown tones were more obvious and the colour wasn't true to pan.
The most stunning results were when I swatched it over a silver cream shadow (from a revlon quad). The colour was exactly what it was in the pan. So my recommendation is to give that a try! I'll try to put up the photo in the swatch thread when my internet isn't playing up. I'll probably try a smoky eye with dalliance and unflappable this weekend.

First, I'd go with Prance. And then it depends on which colors you love most, if it's pink then Top of the Post. If purple, then Mating Call. I think the color of Mating Call is lovely too... I didn't get it just because I think it's similar to the one I have (and I have limited funds).

I had to get SoY to pair it with P-S too even though I was trying my best to skip it
I adore P-S, can't recommend it enough.

OMG, I can't take it anymore!
When I order the new VG Gaga I'm getting Tweet Me! I don't care if it's like Melon or any of the other 15 shades I have that are close...I can't get it out of my head! I just keep thinking how pretty it'll be as a simple wash with peachy blushes and lippies this Spring and Summer.
...something else might jump into the cart too, I make no promises!

I can't wait to try Ego with Dalliance Jenn. Now if MAC would just ship my damn order!
You have me sooooo pumped for that combo. I can't wait!
I really need to buy more peachy lip colors to go with it. I usually shy away from them because I'm cool toned, but you have convinced me to start trying colors I wouldn't try before!

I think depending on the hair colour of the day, you'll totally be able to pull them off If you're still nervous, start with a sheer gloss first to work your way up Here's what I did today (although it's hard to see the true colours - sooo washed out!)

Made some comparison swatches the other day... as you can see Tweet Me is almost identical in color with Rubenesque p/p on me. In between them are Unflappable, Odalisque. On the right end is Dalliance.
Also, I was thinking that Super was kinda similar to the Viva Glam V lipstick + lipglass combo. On the picture Super seemed darker because of the glossiness & sparkles in the VGV combo. I prefer Super because of the texture.
