THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

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 !

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@lmaster you’re welcome! Let me know if there’s any other shades that catch your eye online and I can see if i have them to swatch. It’s hard to get good swatches for multichromes sometimes. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Swatches for @Mellmars1185 of the MAKEUP BY MARIO Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette as well as some comparisons to NATASHA DENONA I Need a Nude Eyeshadow Palette  . I was rushing to not lose the light so they're a little all over the place.

Swatches by column of the Mario

Angle to show that the sparkle shades have a pretty translucent base

The 1st, 3rd, 7th, 9th, and 10th are Mario, the rest are the closest shades in the ND palette

1st, 4th, and 7th are Mario, all the others are ND. 

They're not twins but they're definitely related. I would say overall the Mario is slightly warmer and the ND is more neutral with a few warmer shades. For both palettes, some of the sparkle shades are more translucent at the base and have a more topper finish while others are denser and have a more concentrated pigment and glittery finish.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I love those colours! They look great on you @makeitup305 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

thanks @Georgiiiaaa ! they're a good match for my skintone I think.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

These are so great to see thank you @makeitup305 ! 😍 I keep looking at the Mario palette too. It’s so soft and lovely and probably more subtle than the ND of course. It appears very wearable! Ugh. I think I’ve swatched it in store way too many times! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😭

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom sorry I never answered! I think it might be too sparkly for your taste but I love those topper shades.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Aww you didn’t really have to @makeitup305 but I so appreciate it of course and love hearing from you! 🥰

Yup I think you’re right. I will live! 😆 I have plenty! 🤗

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305 Thank you so much for the swatches. While they are similar, i am drawn more to the Makeup by Mario palette. Do you have a preference?

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305 I'm also wondering if u have a preference!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@greeneyedgirl107 @Mellmars1185 I prefer the ND, just because I'm used to her formula and I love that I can switch out the shades between palettes. That is a big plus in my book. You also get 3 extra shades for the same price. I think the mattes in the Mario can be a little bit on the thinner side so you have to be careful not to over-blend. The Mario topper shades might be slightly more glimmery and refined but it's barely discernible. Mario leans a little peachier/warmer in some shades so that might be a preference for some. A con for the ND would be the size- if you're concerned about space, the Mario is more compact and they have the same amount of product per shade.  What I can do is do a side by side wear with the most similar shades and report back. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305 thanks souch for the info!!!  I think I'll get ND!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305 Thank you so much. I do tend to lean towards likng the warmer shades a pinch better. Also, the ND is not available in Canada that I know of. I am sure I can get it for a bit of an extra cost. Sure! Thank you 🙏😊

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Mellmars1185 you really can’t go wrong with either, if these are your types of shades (and if you don’t mind topper shades). I think ND now has a Canadian site if that helps. She usually has decent sales during the holidays.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305 Thank you! I did not realize she had a Canadian site! 🙏

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Mellmars1185 sorry to get your hopes up, I messed up. I got confused and was thinking something else, You can get shipping for Natasha Denona through Beautylish but unfortunately you can’t get discounts. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305 That is ok!! I ended up ordering the ND Yucca palette off of a site called Lookfantastic. It shipped from the UK but I didnt have to pay customs. I would definitely order from them again. It came fairly quickly and the packaging was great.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Mellmars1185 That’s good! I’ve ordered from LF before and they sometimes have discounts or decent GWP .

What are your thoughts? Did you buy either, both or none? 

I am happy to say the bronzers and blush are identical on the face. The highlighters from both brands are the most different.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Those pallets are so pretty! Thanks for the comparison I’m gonna try and get my hands on the Sephora one! @zolotoi 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I love the sephora collection palettes! Enchant is my fave. I have an hourglass blush, but not a full edit palette, I honestly wouldn't pay the extra for the ambient edit palettes and maybe just buy the hourglass finishing powder alone to try. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

great swatches @zolotoi ! I've never tried the SC ones but they look really nice swatched.
