On December 30th, I was sounding off that I needed to get back to work because I was creating too many blog projects for myself...and CydonianMU (she did purples) said that I could join her, KimmieKarmaLove (she did blues), jadecarver (she did blacks/greys), RobynHeartsSlap (she did greens), and Raerae (she did reds and oranges) in an eyeshadow swatching collaboration. ("Oh, I'm not helping, am I?" LOL) The general plan was that to start off, each person would pick a color and would make a list of their 10/15/20 favorite shades of that color...and then swatch them all. Since I was planning to do this for my entire collection anyway, this seemed a good way to get started! I've already begun adding the montages to some of my colors - several older, and some of the newer ones that I bought this winter but hadn't catalogued yet. I started with yellows and golds...and then just continued slowly swatching my way through my collection.
Going through my own collection, I've done:
My favorite black/grey/white eyeshadow colors, alphabetically by manufacturer and then by color name, are:
As with the yellows and golds, there are a few duochromes in this list; so my Duochrome Fetishist Merit Badge is safe. I may have even leveled up a bit. The inclusion of five of the seven Interplanetary Traveller micas from TKB Trading really shouldn't come as a surprise. I mean, come on: not only are they the interference micas, but they themselves are true duochromes? That's a huge gimme right there. (They are indeed a stone bitch to photograph, though. I'm going to have to do something interesting to capture all the color variations of those.)
