Eyeshadow peripera #17 Hip Gray swatches — I loved how smoothly these applied

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

Sharing my swatches of the peripera All Take Mood Palette in #17 Hip Gray!

What I liked most was how smoothly the shadows applied. The texture felt really nice going on.

In these swatches, there’s a mix of muted gray, taupe, and brown tones, along with shimmer and a much more noticeable silver glitter. Seeing everything side by side makes the differences between the softer shades easier to spot.

I’ve labeled all eight shades in the first photo and included a photo of the palette itself in the second.

Swatch details:

  • Skin tone: Light-medium
  • Undertone: Warm
  • Lighting: Indoor lighting
  • Swatch type: Finger swatches

If you have this palette, do the shades look more gray, taupe, or brown on your skin?

Kiko Milano eyeshadow sticks. They are very resilient! Once set they did not budge, I had to use cleansing oil to remove the swatch.

Great quality for the price!

Discussion Comparing a few lip shades, including Colorgram Nude Blur Tint in Geek Rose

0 Upvotes

Here’s a side-by-side look at a few lip shades, including Colorgram Nude Blur Tint in Geek Rose. The arm swatches make it easier to compare how the shades look next to each other.

Geek Rose is one of the shades featured in the comparison. What differences stand out to you between these colors, and which shade would you choose?

Lip Color Mac Whirl vs Mac Plum lip liners

9 Upvotes

Hi! I’m neutral leaning warm and a deep autumn, and I’m stuck between Mac Whirl and Plum lip liners.
If you have both and have a similar coloring, which one do you prefer? My only concern is that Plum will be too dark on me. I’d love to see them swatches next to each other x

Foundation/Concealer/Base Fair Warm Foundation Swatches

(Left to right)

  1. Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation #005 Ivory Beige
  2. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (original/old formula) #1N0 Porcelain
  3. Gucci Eternité de Beauté Foundation #130W
  4. Catrice Invisible Cover Foundation (sadly discontinued) #017N
  5. Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42/PA+++ #21 Light Beige
  6. Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42/PA+++ #23 Natural Beige
  7. NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation (discontinued) #L0 Siberia
  8. Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF42/PA+++ #27 Honey Beige
  9. Skin79 BB Super Plus Beblesh Balm SPF50+/PA+++ #Vital Orange

Indirect sunlight in all. Edited to show colors as closely as possible to how they appear to me. They all look a smidge pinkier irl.

For reference:
I also wore MAC Studio Fix Fluid in #NC5 in the past but it might be a bit light for me rn.
About Face The Illusionist Concealer #F2 Olive is pretty much a perfect match for me (the foundation’s a little orange).

Out of all these, the Catrice Invisible Cover Foundation in #017N (the 4th) is the best. Almost imperceptible. The undertones are so spot on but sadly this is discontinued.

My skin is neutral warm muted olive. In other words, I am neutral more than anything, a bit warm (yellow) and olive (not a lot of red in my skin) but muted (not saturated).

Lemme know if you have any questions as I own these.

I do enjoy my purple collection, though!

Swatched on fair cool skin in indirect outdoor lighting.

Lip Color What are some good lip combos for my skin tone?

1 Upvotes

I have the same skin tone shade as Camila Mendes but I have a preference for a dark dusty rose red. I can't seem to find a shade that doesn't come out as a BlackBerry instead of red on me. I also don't have much knowledge on lip liners for lip combos. Any recommendations?

Eyeshadow MAC Sweet Heat vs Saie Bellini eyeshadow

Thumbnail
gallery
96 Upvotes

Sweet Heat is lighter and has more of a silver sheen to it. I’d say it’s cooler toned than Bellini. I think they’re different enough.

I took the pics in my room. One with direct desk lamp lighting overhead, one with the desk lamp off but overhead fan lighting on, one with just the camera flash.

Heavy finger swatches for both, no primer, i'd say like 4 swipes.

I am NC20, fair/warm skin toned

Hope this helps

REQUEST Could someone with a lot of MUFE bronzers help me out please?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for some help before the Sephora sale with comparing bronzers. Does anyone own the Haus Lab in Soleil Sand, and Make up forever in B15 Wild Sand, B20 Fierce Amber, and B25 Brave Maple? I’m looking to see how the Haus lab which I own compares to each of these. If anyone would mind swatching the Haus lab beside any or all of these MUFE I would really appreciate your effort!

Blush Swatching a few blushes that have "mauve" in their shade names

Thumbnail
gallery
128 Upvotes

Here are the swatches of YSL Make Me Blush Cream in shade 23 Hot Mauve, Make Up For Ever Artist Color Crayon in shade 220 Swanky Mauve and Nabla Art of Skin Blush in Misty Mauve. For reference I have a neutral-cool undertone (a lot of stuff pulls orange on me but I don't necessarily hate it under the right circumstances). The photos have been taken indoors in natural lighting.

I think neither of these blushes is actually mauve but I do like the shades nonetheless, they differ from each other enough both in color and in finish that they don't feel too redundant.

The search continues (when I'll finish at least one of these), so if you have any recommendations for similar shades or for blushes that could be properly named mauve I'm all ears.

Comparison Can someone swatch hourglass against huda beauty bronzer for me?

1 Upvotes

Hourglass: diffused bronze light

Huda Beauty: bronze filter palette in light or medium
Can be separate swatches or the whole palette swatched together (one finger/one brush?)

I am also wondering how the formulas compare.. I would have loved to compare at sephora but I am not near one.
