Mix and Match Eyeshadows : Ask IMBB

Ask IMBB Gang

Farha Asks,

What are the basic eyeshadow shades that one should have to work with or mix n match these shades in Dark blue,Gold,Copper,Black and maybe silver. What colors can I mix and match. What are the shades to be used on brow bone, crease and as highlighter if I am using the above shades.I will be usin all of them only on occasions not for daily/office use.

  1. OH thanks sooooooooo much Rati..for posting this today…i m goin to buy tom… :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Wat shades do u suggest???????? apart frm Coastal scents….since i dont knw how to shop ol… 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐

    1. Rati..i dnt have a single eyshadow…i m buyin for the 1st time… 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐

  2. Farha then keep a mix os shades with you.

    Pick up a shade that is whitish or goldenish shimmery – for highlighting
    Matte eyeshadows – for crease area. Although there si no hard and fast rule that only matte eyeshadows should go in crease but matte eyesahdows work better in giving more defined look.

    And some satiny / pearl finish eye shadows for lids.

    For beginners , I always suggest picking up palettes. They are no brainers and avoid extremely helpful. For very basic browns , blues you may pick up maybelline eye palettes. But personally I loved the Loreal eyeshadows quads. You have different textuers in the palette and they are very easy to use.

      1. Any coordinating shade would do. For basics, let’s say if you are using light purple on lids, put a matte deep purple in crease. You can also layer it up. Let’s say you put light brown on lid, put a dark brown in crease and with a pencil brush, put a littl ebit of black to give more depth.

        1. OHHH!!!! I get it now :toothygrin: …hehehe i m gettn makeup classes for freeeeeeee!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

      1. Heyy I told my no-eyeshadow friend about the Chai Latte quad from Maybelline and she loved the colours – said all are so useable…so thankooooo IMBB…. :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

        Okay..that’s enough nice for one day…. :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: just like that :toothygrin:

    1. It’s gorgeous, Shanaiia. πŸ™‚ I loved the shades. Something I would wear almost everyday. :)) i just read the e paper of TOI. It’s fantastic. thanks. :))

      1. i thot it would be nice for beginners πŸ™‚ I love it 2 ..Let’s see if I can get sumone buy this palette for me πŸ™‚

        1. It’s a beautiful palette for just everyone. :))

          We get smashbox at international airport but then you have to need to check for the international flight. :toothygrin: I wonder if they would have this palette here. I think they stock only star products.

    2. Thnx Shanaiia :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: ..it luks gr8!!!…thng is i dnt wanna buy online…so m searchn sumthng that i can buy easily here :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: ….

      1. Oh I see…then may be as Rati suggested maybelline n loreal are good…you could even try revlon and makeup factory..they have these kinda palettes 2 πŸ™‚

          1. yeah they do have the 4 shades in a palette πŸ™‚
            i have 3 of them and i really like them…just that i wish they had been matte …

          2. I really like their quads. They are priced at Rs 575 (used to be 499 3 months back when I bought mine) The quality and finish of the eyeshadows is really good! The singles are pretty amazing too but the quantity is tooo much and the cost is 490/-.

        1. Thnx dear…. :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: Lets see wat i end up with… :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

          1. yes…they do have quads..i have one of them…. its called…wet/dry shadow……it ws a gift by my aunt frm US….i mean i dnt knw of their availibility in india though.. :(..but the shades are great…most of them cn be used as a highlighters….very wearable colors….its got a shimmery brown (brow bone)….a sky bluish one…similar to rati’s burjois wala …a baby pink …..wid shimmer ofcourse.. πŸ™‚ :heart: :heart: :heart:

    1. OMG!! I totally forgot. My first ever eyeshadow was from revlon. the purple quad. i didnt know how to use shadows then so I gifted it to someone. πŸ™‚

      1. I grew up in Surat πŸ™‚ . You might already know about it, but have you checked out Abhinandan Market in Ghod Dhod Road? I have found some great imported cosmetics in their underground A/C market at times.

        1. Oh yeah :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: ..i do buy accessories frm there..specially that shop which sells awesum silver jewellery :yahoo: ..but i m afraid to buy cosmetics frm there…coz i feel they are fake..i saw a MAC moisturiser there for 250 bucks 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐 ….

          1. Any Mac cosmetics cheaper than the original price is fake. Mac cosmetics have the largest amount of fake products. Mac never even go on sale in the US :(.
            I never got any Mac from there thankfully.

            But you are right that place is awesome for accessories, have blown up lots of money there.

            1. Hehehe..i once got an imported shampoo frm there which smelled like phenyl….cant even use it for pedicures :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: I will stick to buyn jewellery :toothygrin:

  9. Farha, buy quads or trios as they’ll be most useful and easiest to use. I checked out some Revlon quads today and I liked one is particular (Colorstay quad ‘chromatic’ something was the name, sorry I forgot!) . I guess you’d be using these for your BIL’s wedding so make sure you get a quad with golden,bronze shades as they will totally suit the occasion. Also, try out a Lakme ‘Desert Rose’ quad. It has a golden ,a pink, a copper and a rust shade. Since you are fair, these colors will really suit you.
