The Deeper Hues Thread (Swatches, Color Matching, etc.)

[ElleElleG]

*new group located here: Deeper Shades

Have a deeper hue and want to know how a product might look on your skin tone?  This is the place for you!

Several ladies expressed interest in having a BIC group dedicated to WOC.  Such a group would serve as a central reference point for swatches, color matching and the like, which can often be difficult to find.  While I have no idea whether such a group will ever be created I figured it would be nice to at least have a thread.

It should go without saying, but  **Ladies (and gents) of all hues are more than welcome **

Yes. Before my lip and setting spray though. I use Mac Fix+ before my blush and highlighter. It seems to make it come out a lot better.

@HazelEyedQueen  Thanks for the swatches!!! I've heard EXCELLENT things about beauty bakerie. Love that it's WOC owned and natural/organic. Wish they had more wild colors, though. LOL!

[HazelEyedQueen]

It seems as of she spends a year or two on each product before releasing it. Maybe that's what the future holds. She just released information on a no smudge foundation and is starting with 30 colors.

Coloured Raine eyeshadow palette swatches. 1. Beauty Rust 2. Smoke Show 3. Berry Cute 4. Lovelies 5. Queen of Hearts 6. Cheers to Beauty These palettes are rich, buttery, and blend so well. The last picture is an eye look created with Cheers to Beauty and Berry Cute. **She also makes very beautiful and very pigmented lip products. Imagine a place that carries nude lips for everyone! --------------

Ohhhhhh thanks for these swatches @HazelEyedQueen !!! I've been eyeballing their QoH palette for ages and drill haven't snagged it yet.  With as pigmented as each of the shades you swatched are I need to stop dragging my feet & get some Coloured Raine in my life.

Also the look  you posted is magical & should be shown off in the magical thread too!!! 

[HazelEyedQueen]

I love these palettes. I'm already exited to play in them later. I have never seen a pallet blend so easily (and I have 15 palettes prior as a newbie). I'm look at the magical thread as well. Thank you for the compliment!

@HazelEyedQueen That look is phenomenal on you 😍😍😍

I have to admit I'm so smitten with these palettes now that right after I saw your post I was looking at the website last night at 11:45, debating with myself about buying Cheers to the Beauty before the Easter sale ended at 11:59. They're really gorgeous!

[HazelEyedQueen]

They are gorgeous! I couldn't believe how pigmented and smooth they were. I can't pick a favorite but, if I had to, I would definitely go with Cheers to Beauty as my starter.

[mermadelove]

LOVE this look!!!! @HazelEyedQueen !

[HazelEyedQueen]

Thank you. It was easy with this palette because of how smoothly it blends and compliments. I've only been serious about makeup for around a year or so. I didn't even know palettes could blend this easily.

OK, ever since Soft Glam came out I've been dreaming about it and wanting it really bad.  The worst part about it is that I'm on a no buy (makeup) goal this year.  So, some BICs recommended I go into the store to swatch it to see if it's something that I'd even like.  I'm glad I did, as I'm no longer wanting it as badly and I think I can hold out on buying it until next year as it's part of the permanent collection.

Here's a pic with some swatches.  I didn't do a great job at swatching (also lighting is not great) and I didn't swatch all of the colors.  I mainly swatched the colors that are not part of MR.

On me, Glistening and Fairy look very similar.  Dusty Rose (far left, bottom row) on me comes off a little red.  They are truly like butter, really good quality.  Although after swatching ViseArt's Mynx Theory II, that formula I think beats this one (my friend bought it, so I'm going to have to ask her how she likes it).

Top Row (from left to right):  Noir, Glistening, Bronze, Sultry, Rose Pink

Bottom Row (from left to right): Dusty Rose, Fairy, Burnt Orange (looks different from MR), Sienna, Rustic, Mulberry, Orange Soda (you can barely notice it on my skin tone).

I didn't swatch Tempera but it does look different than the one from MR.

Thanks for sharing @b3autygrl !  It's a lovely palette but you may be able to duplicate with singles/other shadows within your collection.  Also, they manage to put MR on sale for a period of time, I would not be surprised if they did it with this one too.

[b3autygrl]

I agree, I do have some similar colors in my collection that can create duplicate looks.  At least I'm no longer feeling the urge to go out and buy it anymore.  Thanks for the support!

ABH made a bit of a thing out of how this is supposed to be a great bridal palette, so I wonder whether it might go on sale sometime in May, before wedding season really gets rolling.

[HazelEyedQueen]

Am I allowed to share swatches for items not purchased from Sephora? I have beautiful palettes for POC but that are from inclusive brands created by WOC.

[fieldsofclover]

@HazelEyedQueen Please! I would love to steer more of my dollars accordingly 💸

[HazelEyedQueen]

Done. They make shades for everyone and it's absolutely wonderful.

[ElleElleG]

Yes yes please share @HazelEyedQueen

Great point @mermadelove ;  a great work around is to change the ".com" in the website to "[DOT] com" 😉 (for example: sephora.com vs. sephora[DOT]com)

[HazelEyedQueen]

They removed my [dot] parts. But it's ok. They're easy to find.

[HazelEyedQueen]

I'll go back and add them. I can't stop taking about these brands!

[mermadelove]

Yes you can! You just can’t post links to nonsephora sites. 🙂
