I’m after a pinkish eye shadow that a lot of people on tv seem to be sporting? Not vibrant bright pink a more lighter dusty kind of pink that seems to make blue eyes even bluer? Anyone recommend one?

Oh I don't know. Chanel does some gorgeous pinks.
I can recommend a giant eyeshadow palette though! The Morphe Plum one. It is just lovely for blue eyes (mine attached).

Naked Cherry (Urban Decay)

I love urban decay although can’t get to a counter any time soon..... plus it’s a big old palette! May have to wait till I can get to a store rather than order online. Thanks though.

I'm wearing matte purples today, with a shimmer halo in the middle of the eyelid only. Does not look as extreme as it sounds. Taking pic!

Ooooh lovely o. What’s a shimmer halo? Name of a colour?

Halo is an eyeshadow technique. Mine is not a proper one, I just apply matte eyeshadow all over and finish with a light shimmer in the middle.
It is great for hooded eyes (as it highlights what little lower lid you have) and if you stay away from shimmers due to wrinkly skin. Very few people have wrinkles right in the middle.

Here is a proper tutorial (though very heavy makeup used!)

I didn’t know that had a name! I don’t have hooded but they are quite deep set. May have a play around at the weekend!

If you have the budget then ABH Modern Renaissance palette is what you need. However, I think Makeup Revolution does a dupe as well.

Rose' in the Air by WetandWild is a near exact copy of Modern Renaissance. So worth trying that one first!

I now want the Naked Cherry palette. Damn you @viviene , I have too many eyeshadow palettes already.
Is it really pretty?

viviene · 19/12/2018 18:10

@OHolyNightOwl it is very pretty!! I have grey eyes and use it everyday for work :-) I love it even though I was never a fan of Urban Decay :-)

OHolyNightOwl · 19/12/2018 18:16

Well damn. OK, it's going on my "look for in the sales list"! Will say you positively twisted my arm. Xmas Grin
Thank you!

The Revolution eyeshadow palette that's a dupe of Modern Renaissance is Iconic Vitality, or there's the I Heart Makeup one in Chocolate Elixir. Smile I have the first one but not the second (although I'm tempted.)
I wear a lot of pink eyeshadow (although I have hazel eyes and tend to go for brighter pinks.) Recently I've been into dusty/dusky pinks and the Revolution palettes Affection, Velvet Rose and Newtrals 3 are all good for those sort of colours. (Seriously, I haven't put down Affection for the past two weeks, came out at the same time as Passion For Colour which is more my thing, but maybe it's the time of year.) Link for the Re-Loaded palettes.

URban Decay Backtalk palette (not sure if that's still available), Kevyn Aucoin Nudepop and Huda Beauty New Nudes palettes all have those dusty, mauve pink tones.

Ooh lovely thanks I will have a look!
