Green shadow and pigment swatches

I did a swatch comparison of all the green shadows and pigments I have lying around. Hopefully someone finds this helpful ;]

I do not know what term I should use for my skintone (except that I am pale with mostly brown undertones instead of peach/pink ones), because I do not use MAC foundation or concealer. If it helps, the rare times I do wear foundation, I wear Lancome Magique Matte in Ivorie 2.

In each picture, the top row is the product on bare skin. The bottom row is the product over UDPP.

I was bored so I compared MAC Wonderstruck lustreglass with Rimmel Vinyl Stars Star Kissed lipgloss since they're supposedly similar (I also threw in MAC Prrr lipglass with the mix):

top to bottom MAC Prrr lipglass, MAC Wonderstruck lustreglass and Rimmel Vinyl Stars Sparkling Lip Gloss in Star Kissed.

in natural light (sorry it's so gloomy outside!), no flash. left to right Star Kissed, Wonderstruck and Prrr.

Wonderstruck and Star Kissed are very similar but Star Kissed is slightly more peach than Wonderstruck and Star Kissed also has more shimmer to it (and it smells/tastes better too lol). overall I think it's a good alternative to Wonderstruck, tho.

The Nars GALAPAGOS is soooooooooooooo kick ass!!

The MUFE Flash Color #17 is a cream that can be used on eyes, cheeks, just about everywhere, like Mac's Flammable but much redder, and easier to blend. It's so freakin' pigmented, couldn't get it off afterwards (guess its a good thing ;-)

Some blush and lipstick swatches. Hope my handwriting is readable :p




I kinda like Tenderling, Buff, Prism, Strada and Cubic. Honour and Margin are too glimmery.
What tone do you think would suit a NC/NW 15-20?

MUFE HD Invisible Cover Foundation

I swatched 3 colors (Im an NC20)

110 Pink Porcelain (for porcelain skin with pink undertones)
115 Ivory (for light skin with pink undertones)
117 Marble (for light skin with yellow undertones)

(117 is the one that works the best, once blended in, it becomes one with the skin, really awesome ;-)

110-->115-->117
