Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@makeitup305  You're welcome!  I wore Mimi a couple of times this week.  It's one of those shades that works with your skin tone, so it looks natural.  I'm honestly shocked that it works for me, but glad it does!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

So many good shades for you @Ispend2much6 ! Your collection looks pretty complete! 😊 Love her stuff. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom  Thanks!  I haven't tried her foundation sticks in awhile; that may be a future consideration.  I might pick up the concealer while the sale is on (for one more day.)  I always get compliments when I use Nectar.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Wow, what a beautiful Westman Atelier collection, @Ispend2much6! I love seeing them all together!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I'm glad you like it @curlychiquita .  Being able to compare the shades IRL really helps, I think.  Do you have any?

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@curlychiquita  That's a nice collection! 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Gorgeous swatches! These are such pretty shades it’s cool to see them in different lighting too! Thanks for sharing 🙂 @Ispend2much6 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Thanks for posting all these swatches, @Ispend2much6 ! 🥰  What I learned is I apparently need Mimi.  My eye went right to that color just like it did with @sister13 's swatch! 😄

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Titian06   It's a sign!!  I do like Mimi; it's great for a blush that can go with anything.

Late night swatches of the PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo  . I'll post daylight swatches this weekend. The ones I got are PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo We Need Better Lighting  and PATRICK TA Major Dimension Eye Illusion Eyeshadow Duo Talk To My Team  (from left to right). Talk to my team has a shade with an orangey peach base and a pink flip and the other is a champagne base with a lighter pink flip but it was hard to capture in indoor lighting.

 Thoughts on the formula- it feels incredibly thin but feels creamier than the Mario, which almost has a powdery consistency. Below is a picture of the two shades in We Need Better Lighting (left) vs two of the shades in the new Mario Moonlight palette .

Although the picture isn't the best, you can see how much more densely packed with sparkle the PT is. Ethereal eyes is more of a glimmer or "etheral" sparkle. On an eye swatch, PT sparkle seems to cover the whole eye, even when it has more of transluscent base.

The level of shimmer I think is closes to the baked shades in PMG Motherships. Below I compared the last two shades in Midnight Seduction (which weren't baked I don't think) to the shades from PT

The left two are PMG, PT on the right. My Midnight Seduction shades felt a little dry (my palette is several years old at this point) but the shimmer level was similar. I have to compare them in the daytime.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

They look beautiful, @makeitup305! Thank you for swatching! 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Wow, these are so pretty, @makeitup305 ! 😍💖  Thanks for sharing!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Gorgeous swatches! I love the shimmer it’s so pretty I love these shades as well, this is such a cool new edition to the PTA collection 🙂 @makeitup305 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@peculiarzmakeup I think it was smart of him since so many people liked his shimmers in that face palette a while back. The only complaint I’ve seen so far is the price.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Okay these look amazing! I have a box on  the way. Super similar to the PMG, I appreciate the comparisons as observations. Can’t wait for mine to arrive! @makeitup305 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@sister13 Let me know your thoughts when you get them!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Thanks for showing us these swatches @makeitup305 ! I think you’re gonna have fun with them! Creamy sounds nice! 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom I’m looking forward to giving them a try this weekend 😄

Did the astral beauty “pH adjustment” come across more pronounced on your lips?
