I am frequently intrigued by how cosmetic lines choose names for their eyeshadows & then describe the colors online. How do I get a job doing this?? lol!
Here are some of my faves from MAC:
eyeshadows
VELVET MOSS: Decorator avocado
INTOXICATE: Kiss-me-darkly plum
BEAUTY MARKED: A deep blackened red with a sparkle/twilight effect
IDOL EYES: Silvered violet threaded with gold (ooh, I like that one
)
MEADOW: Murky greenery, shaded by blue
FEMME NOIR: Smoke-filled green
SUMPTUOUS OLIVE: A subdued khaki with metallic coat
HONEY LUST: Bronze-dipped peach
pencils
TEALO: Black-stroked teal
BOUNTIFUL BROWN: Brown rinsed with bronze
SAGEGRASS: Smudge me greeny grey
OUT TO SEA: Out of your depth marine blue
FASCINATING: Snake-eyes matte white
longwear
PURRPETUATE: A tattoo-dark metallic frosted berry-red
PASSION PRESERVED: Love this forever dirt brick red
CLINGPEACH: A lip-clinging shimmering peach
paints
BARE CANVAS: Unadorned champagne dressed with shimmer
nail lacquer
ROCKER: Red-Y to rock deep wine
SHIRELLE: Classic she's a dame red
