 |  Subject: Make-up in school colors  Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:41 am | |
| Ok so obviously I could go to any cosmetic counter, FACES, the MAC store, Wal*Mart, etc, but I wanted some references, so I don't have to search for hours on end, or buy one that I can't try and then it sucks.
So my school uniform colors are
Maroon/Burgundy
Grey/Silver
White
Navy
Black
If any of yall have had a good experience with eyeshadows in any of the listed colors could you give me a brand name and a price range.
I live in the US but I can get stuff from overseas and whatnot.
Thanks in advanced...
p.s. Kiki if you think this belongs in PR or Glam I apoligize.

| I think this is a good spot.
I like HT's Rebel black shadow, its $6. wont rec the eyesmudge in this case cos the navy and burgundy havent been seen in a while!
as of a silver/grey/gun metal colour...I use Icing by Clare's, its a pretty nice color, I'll have to get a pic for you. I meant to take one for Lamia a while back, but I have the webcam so I can actually do it now. it was $1.50, I think, and it lasts all day with my wet n wild creme shadow as a base.
but otherwise...I totally cant help, since Im in the same boat as you,
I need navy; different greens, especially some dark ones; and a burgundy.
so I hope people can post in here. haha.

| Do you ever buy Fyrinnae? Honestly, they have SO many different shades of every color...a lot of them are bright and for sample sizes I believe it's only $1.25 which they will last you for a long time. I'd really suggest them.
Personally, my favorite black eyeshadow is from Victoria Secret and it's called 'fierce' but it has sparkles in it soo thats why I love it and doubt you will.
Goodluckkkk.

| Do you have "Six Star" where you are? It's a cheeeap little store with no name brands, and they have some make-up in the colors you are looking for. for cheap, like a dollar!

Actually I get my mineral pigments from a brand called Mahya...they have all the same colors as Fyrinnae, and it's local
and um...I'm almost out of my MAC Black Tied...and I've probably gone through like 5 of Jane's clubbing and atleast 1 of Milani's Storm
Plats, never heard of Six Star...but you just gave me an idea, I should probably go to the beauty supply store and look at the Wild-n-Crazy and NYX shadows...don't know why I didn't think of that |

| I have a burgundy and a navy from Wild N Crazy, I don't like them though. They are so smudgy and crappy even with a good base.

| | I use Max Factor. You can find it at K-Mart usually. It's around $5 and comes w/ three colors. I've had all of mine since the beginning of this year and they haven't run out yet! |

I LOOOOVE Nyx, but can't find it anymore. Pharmaplus used to carry it, but they don't anymore.  Their colours are so rich, and they have super staying power!

Texas doesn't have K-Mart anymore...boo but Wal*Mart has Max Factor, which palettes have the colors I'm looking for, or do you know?
Lindsay I really like Wild-N-Crazy, I've never had a problem with them...
We have NYX at "ethnic" beauty supply stores, and there's alot where I live |

sweety, I appreciate the response and recommendation but this kind of sounds like you didn't even read my post, my point was finding specific colors and you just kind of threw something out there that seemed like i was just asking for make-up tips
i'm sorry if that sounds harsh or anything but i get kind of offended when people don't pay attention |

| Max Factor has a trio called precious metals, looks like a white, a silver, and either a really deep gray or the black didn't photograph well. Nyx has a really pretty red color called Cherry, it's not maroon really but maybe mix it with a little purple? They also have a navy, which they call..Navy.
Edit: Nyx does have a Burgundy Pearl, but it'd probably be shimmery and I dunno if you'd want to go with that if the rest of what you find is matte or whatever you happen to find.  Just sayin'!
