You can hardly see the Damson shadow. The Samoa Silk shows some.
What's interesting is how blue it makes my eyes look. They're not really that blue. Okay logic tells you that orange should bring out blue. It's a nice orange too...just enough pink to soften it without making it pink.
I'm thinking...it really doesn't make sense to pay top dollar for purple shadow. I can't wear large amounts of dark shadows anyway. All I need is a little purple...dusky blue purple, not red purple, so my MAC "Wine" eyepencil is out.
Something like a purple eye pencil would do it. I mean if I wanted to do purple shadow, I'd need only put on more of the Damson. It shows well as a shadow, just not as a liner, which is what I have in mind for this look.
I'm thinking L'Oreal Wear Infinite or Revlon "Raisin" PowderLiner. The powder pencils have a better texture imo. Wonder how blue/red the "Raisin" is. Carol???????
I'm pretty pleased with the base, too...I put a little bit of it on. Everything feels more "anchored" without changing the shadow colors.
Might go look around the drugstore today. This will be my "Babylon" look although it's really nothing like Babylon :) With the right purple, it'll be just the thing.
