THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

[jemly]

alright, here it is. use this thread to request swatches. the guidelines are up to you and your needs: single swatches, comparison swatches, specific skin tone swatches

when comparisons are requested, feel free to provide whatever you have of that request--i want anyone to participate and contribute if they want to. have fun, hope this is helpful !

Hi Ellenmae, while I don't have the swatch you requested, I would advise against buying sephora eye-shadows to use as blush. I tried doing that with a berry color and it was horrible, patchy, clung to dry spots where there were none (no blush I have ever used has done that) and didn't blend at all. If you do wanna get it, I'd suggest using it in store directly on your cheeks first.

[Ellenmae]

Awww thats too bad. I've been eyeing UD bittersweet but it's a color I don't want to commit $26-28 (I forget the price). I was hoping a $10 eyeshadow might do the trick. I will def try it in store first then.

[ZSahar]

Good luck and hope it works for you! I agree I was on the fence about some UD blushes too but I knew I'd never use such a colour enough to have that price be worth it. Do comment here if it works for you and I'd love to see a picture!

@Ellenmae have you seen Colourpop Rain? I bought it for this exact reason. According to Temptalia, Bittersweet is "darker and cooler toned" but this one is beautiful too and it's $8.

I was going to recommend Rain, too! I just got it, and I really enjoy it.

[Ellenmae]

I'll have to check that out!

My bf sent me this pic out of nowhere with the caption: "My new socks. I swatched them 😉 You're not the only one who can swatch." 

On-topic, this was my hand last week:

Is the black a matte or a satin matte?

Sorry, I had to join in.

[michelleshops]

Does he need to use a primer under the orange ones to keep the vibrancy strong?

[TKLJ]

Can you ask him to swatch that black sock next to all his other black socks so I can choose the best?

Do we have a "male significant others say the darndest things" thread? Because that's pretty hilarious!

[TKLJ]

I think there is a thread like that somewhere. Just good luck finding it. 😉

Unsolicited red swatches! I snagged my first Audacious shade today and it looked suspiciously similar to a couple others I had, so I figured I'd swatch them all. 🙂

Top to bottom:

KVD Studded Kiss - Underage Red

KVD Studded Kiss - Adora

Sephora Cream Lip Stain - Always Red

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick - Fiery

Colourpop Lippie Stix - Bichette

NARS Audacious - Olivia

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - Cruella

KVD Everlasting Liquid Lipstick - Nosferatu

Spoiler

Zoomed in shot of the three I thought looked way too similar:

Colourpop Lippie Stix - Bichette

NARS Audacious - Olivia

NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - Cruella

Charlotte maybe...?

Nope. Not really... But, it's a pretty color.

It's super dark on me:

[GingerCupcake]

Jeanne and Bette were both suggested, but I was wondering about Charlotte, too, actually. 

[GingerCupcake]

Also, I need to actually bring TM Nosferatu with me next time to go on a swatching trip. They never seem to have it in the store, which makes it tough to compare lol. 

[TKLJ]

Very helpful, thanks. I was thinking about Olivia, but I may as well make my first CP purchase instead.

[Savvyanna]

Bichette and Olivia look identical!

[GingerCupcake]

And I'm in the hunt for a Nosferatu dupe, so Olivia most definitely isn't it. I'll try Jeanne or Bette, as recommended by someone on another thread. I will say I wasn't in love with the smell of the Colourpop Lippie Stix, tho.

Can I get a swatch of Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Patina next to KVD's Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita? (Bonus points if you're pale with cool undertones so I can kind of figure out how it pulls.)
