what are the colors that you MUST have?!?!

I wasn't a big fan of eyeshadows until I bought these.. totally love it!!

I have expensive pink, cranberry, mythology, and retrospeck and primer is bamboom!

I have been to their counter quite a few times to buy something similar yet different but can't make up my mind.... I am not into pink purple green eyeshadow stuff so suggest some thing golden, neutral, well I guess the experts got the drift!!

Oooh!
Get Traxx...its a pertty purplish gold, but not like purple purple..very subtle purple.

For pinks, Pink Venus is nice, its very shimmery, not "out there"... so is Arena, its a good skin-tone color... another one i have is shimmermoss, its a dark green but not green green, more like ever green... And i just got a new one, i think its tempting.... when i go home ill check and let u know...

Gemini the Great

Trax and shimmermoss didn;t suit me.. I am not gori like you.

I will check out pink venus and Arena though!! thanks :-)

I want to get one good black shadow...for smokey eye... bu every time i go to get black, ia lways end up with another color

Gemini the Great

go get the black one.. it will suit you!!I am jealous!

for smokey eyes, do you need something like carbon?!?! I wanna see the pics then!

Do you have "Mulch" I know this girl had a very beautiful eyeshadow on and when I asked for it.. she said it's Mulch but it didnt look that good at the counter.. probably she blended it with another color or so.. I dunno those tricks yet.

do smoky eyes in eggplant or dark green or grey- its less harsh than black and you can find a color to suit most skin tones

i cant remember shades now, but i had one of their brighter blues for my mehendi makeup, and a shade of dark green and another shade of gold for my shaadi makeup. i'll look them up.

i had them do a smokey eye on me finally.. the pics are in the eyes makeup thread...

was totally a grt exp and i bought like 6 shades.. so loving them..

GtG ,, have them put these on u..

the dark dark brown one gives a more natual smokey rather than a pitch black one..

again try it on before u buy it..

Gemini the Great

hin I asked you in that thread what colors where those but you didn't tell me.. main nahin bolti bas!!! more

well when they start trying.. I end up buying it even if I dunno how to blend it professionally so it kinda sucks.. this one time lady was soo intimidating that I ended up buying the eyeshadow brushes as well.. for $40 each!! later I returned it when Ira gave me a pack of those MAC brushes as a present.

hin33

januuuuuuuuuuuuuuui never went back in that thread.. ok i promise ill get u all the names..

u kno their brushes really help too. i mean blending wise....

i can;t do as good as them but still a lot better than what i could do b4..

ill get all the names for u promise..

hin33

oo i think ill do a video for u /// yeahhhhh

Gemini the Great

awww thats sooo very nice of you.. I knew you wont ignore me.

:waiting-for-the-video:

koi mujhe bhi mac brushes gift kar de

actually i got a set but i dont know how to use them or they're overhyped, cz i dont c no difference when i use em.

Gemini the Great

Sara... Ira did.. go bug her.

I like those curved ones.. they do such a good job for the shade right above the eyeliner.. okay I can't explain it but out of fives that I have, I love two of them!! (I guess I dunno how to use the other three )

hin33

no sara .. i dont think they are over hyped.. if u take them to a mac counter.. mayb one of those makeup artists will show u which is for what purpose..

i really see a difference in mac brushes as compared to the foam applicator that we normally use..

hin33

p.s all the ladies who used to complain abt smudging of the eye liner.. again mac'c eyeliner---ill have to get the name .. that comes in a small compact and is applied with a brush.. doesnt smudge or fade..

Ira

Gia, you know the ones i have
expensive pink ( i love)
pink venus (love the color but the sparkles dont tay on too long).
traxx (i use teh least since half the time i end up looking like i bruised my eye)
wood winked
amber lights
steamy
nocturnelle
star violet

I recently bought the gel eyeliner in a pot that hin is talkng about and it just LOVE it. I can easily put it on using the slanted brush.

My current love is thir studio fix foundation in powder. LOVE it, its so convenient.

hin33

the gel eyeliner.... thanks ira

i think i have amber lights.. rest dunno ,,

igotta try this exp pink for sure..

i love doing the smokey eye with dark pigments... even though it looks really hot with black, i think a smokey eye done with brown shades looks more subtle, and it's easier to wear during the day without looking out of place, lol.

These ar ehte ones i have (in order that i bought them)

Electric eel (matte bright blue)
Swimming and Pink Venus (swimming is a sparkly parrot green)
Arena (a beigey-pink skin colored satin color and texture, very good if u want a netural) and plum dressing (a deep purple that's silky shmmery)
Paradisco (a slightly brighter version of Arena) and Trax.
Beauty Sleep (very light pink thats slightly sparkly) and Passionate (very deep matte pink!)
Retrospeck and cranberry, u already have
Sketch is a deep purplish maroon, very dark color.... i have yet to actually even wear it!
Silver ring and steamy, steamy is a very nice aqua/sea-green with golden undertones..
and the most recent acquisitions, greensmoke (very glittery dark mossy greeN) and tempting....a really gorgeous golden/bronzish color!!

Seriously, i remember each time i bought these and teh story behind em.... i know.. im just a litttle bit crazy.
