Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

It's BT! We can never be tired of any swatches 😉

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Haha I hope not! I still have a Jouer Cosmetics and OCC order coming in...then I'm done for a bit, I promise 😉

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Okay well I'll watch out for those =D Don't worry you always have interested viewers on here haha...<3

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

When swatching in store where do you guys put it? Back of your hand or by the mound of your thumb? I personally use my fingers because the back of my hand is very pale but my fingertips are just as pigmented (same color) as my lips. Does anyone else do this? Am I overlooking a reason for watching on the back of your hand? 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I just swatch on the back of my hand. It's like a reflex lol. I never gave it a second thought and I just find it easier to look at my swatch and oooh and aahhh lol

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I always do it on the back of my hand, unless it's a complexion products like foundation or concealer. That goes on the inside of my wrist. I think I put color products on the back of my hand because it's easier for me to hold up against my face, since I very rarely swatch on my face. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

If it is a highlighter, blush or a Complexion product, I do it at the back of my hand as it is comparatively closer to the color of my face. Though I swatch lipsticks on the inner side of my forearm. I have very little natural pigment on my lips so it is good to get idea how it will look on my lips.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@BrideSona it depends what I'm swatching.  

 

If it's eyeshadow or blush I'll swatch on my inner arm or back of my hand, depending on what I'm wearing and how likely I am to get dirty :D.

 

If it's lipstick I always try to swatch on both the back of my hand for reference, and the pad of my finger to get an idea what it's actually going to look like on my lips.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I don't have either, but @guzelkiz was telling me the other day that Celebrity Skin really washed her out. I forget how close you are to her/my skintone though. I personally think both those shades would wash me out, but you may be lighter than me and/or able to pull it off anyway!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Hey there @MK89, checking to see if you are getting any of my PM's.....

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

hey @AMHWKI! I actually just PMed you because I didn't get a response to my last message. Did you send me your address yet? Your stuff arrived yesterday (thank you!) and I was surprised because I hadn't receive any info from you!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

ok not sure that tag worked below.... @MK89.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Well the weird thing is that I got a notice you both PMdand tagged me today but when I just logged in, I had neither.  Something is up with BT and me @MK89.  My address was on the package if you still have that?

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

If anyone has gotten NARS DI shadows in Deep End & Pool Shark would anyone mind swatching? 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Ahh could I request a swatch of this (Stila Baci) on a medium skin tone please?

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Love! That looks a lot like I imagine Clueless to look... though based on the reviews, Clueless is even dumber than her siblings.
