I've been using it a lot with creams (SS in crease), purples (SS as liner or crease), browns (SS in crease or liner), and to brighten up blacks. I haven't found the right way to wear it with pinks, but I think it would look beautiful with greens as a crease colour.
the MA that helped me suggested taking a bit of the smoke signals pigment then grabbing a little bit of another shadow - she used satin taupe - to make it more blendable. It was definitely easier to work with!
I used this as a liner the past few days with jest all over the lid and it looked awesome...it's so dark. I love this color!
