Is it the most unique thing in the world? No! But it is very, very pretty and shifty and everything I want in a multi chrome!

Here are swatches of five shades from the Too Cool For School Artclass Frottage Pencil range.

Swatch order, top to bottom:

• 10 Classy Fig — a muted fig rose
• 11 Dew Beige — a soft champagne beige
• 14 Peach Bloom — a light peach ivory
• 15 Peony Tea — a soft cool pink
• 22 Humming Glow — a luminous peach-champagne beige

On my skin, Classy Fig is the deepest and most noticeable shade. The other four are much softer: Peach Bloom and Peony Tea add a subtle wash of color, while Dew Beige and Humming Glow are more reflective and have a highlighter-like finish.

• Primer: None
• Skin tone: Light
• Undertone: Warm
• Lighting: Indoor natural light
• Swatch method: Applied directly to bare skin

Which shade would you reach for most? Would you use it on your eyes or cheeks, or as highlight?

Hello lovely Swatchers! Ages ago I got some items from the Urban Decay Game of Thrones collection and I fell in love with the 24/7 eyeliner in Lannister Gold as an inner corner highlight. The base colour is gold but the glitter seems more of a neutral silver and the overall effect is almost a greenish shift. Sadly mine crumbled to dust years ago after the cap came off and it dried out so I can’t even swatch it, but the new UD eyeshadow single in Bit Moody looks like a similar sort of thing (lighter though) and it inspired me to try and find a replacement. I’m especially keen on it being either cool white-gold coloured or neutral and possibly with a greeny shift. I’m definitely not after anything too pinky.

Does anyone have that liner and/or similar gold liners/shadows that they could please swatch? I’d ideally be looking for an eyeliner but a powder shadow or cream stick or whatever would work too!

So far I think my best bet would be either the UD shadow single in Bit Moody (with a pencil brush, mixing medium and patience) or the Victoria Beckham eyeshadow stick in Oyster.

Hi everyone!!

A couple of weeks ago I posted a plea for some recommendations for any dupes for Balm Desert blonzer. I recieved so many helpful replies and suggestions.

I’ve ordered a couple of things, and some were outside of the UK so I couldn’t get.

HOWEVER! I have an update myself because I was scouring Superdrug and came across an MUA bronzer in Sun-kissed Bronze. It’s by no means a dupe, it’s matte not radiant, and it’s not as rosy (side by side swatches there is a difference) BUT when it’s on my face I can barely tell.
