Project Swatch: Reds and Pinks

I've decided to swatch my entire indie collection. I made a spreadsheet of my collection, complete with 'color family'. After much deliberation, I decided to use the description from websites vs. my own perception of colors. I hope to swatch everything over the next week. Of course I have a haul from DG coming Monday which will possibly render some of my swatches obsolete, but oh well!

The following are swatches from Shiro, Notoriously Morbid, My Beauty Addiction, and Glamour Doll Eyes.

First up are the reds and pinks in my collection.

Shiro Unforgettable is a "hot pink-toned shimmery red with magenta sparks". On me, it reads a little bit more brown than the description.

Glamour Doll Eyes Fire Breather is a "vibrant red with orange undertones and gold shimmer". It's a little less "red" than I think of as red and more copper.

Notoriously Morbid Boca del Inferno is "a rich, deep oxblood". That seems about right! My first thought was "brick". NOTE: This shade was not swatched over Pixie Epoxy, as mattes don't play nice with most sticky bases!

My Beauty Addiction Aruba is "a light warm coral/pink with a HIGH shimmer". I totally disagree on this one; I categorized it as a neutral before I saw the description, and I wouldn't call it pink after the swatch. It could potentially be called a peach, but that's being generous. It looks like a light golden brown or taupe on me.

Shiro Wildflowers is a "soft petal pink with green and gold sparks". This shade is STUNNING, and definitely true to the description.

Shiro Destiny's Princess is a "shimmery, bright bubblegum pink with gold undertones". True to the description, IMO.

Glamour Doll Eyes Cajun is a "medium to bright pink with orange and gold sparkle and sheen". On me, it looks somewhere between a pink and a purple.

My favorites out of these are definitely Unforgettable, Fire Breather, Wildflowers, and Destiny's Princess. The first are great for a mostly neutral eye look! I can't wait to use Wildflowers as a highlight. Destiny's Princess is one that I don't quite yet know how to use, but it's BEAUTIFUL - and named after Zelda!
