Sure! The blushes are giving me fits at the moment...I'll have to do some quickie descriptions on the shadows so you aren't naming blind on them I'm going to start a new thread for them.

Woohoo I just had a try at naming the blushes! Looking forward to MOAC 4~~ :lol:

Please let me know which of the new eye shadow colours are suitable for one-colour washes too after they've been named! Thanks in advance! :D

If you have glows, Cupid and Cherub make really nice one shade colors... I use them on top of a primer up to the crease and fade upwards... really brightens up my eyes on dull days.

I love either High Beam or Hint for a sheer base with with enough oomph to stand alone.

Any of the sheers would work but those are my staples. Long before High Beam was introduced, Angel was my favorite go-to. There are just lots & lots of options depending on skintone & preference.

I realize my using things as a "base" isn't the same as a one-color-wash (my friends & I call that a one-swiper ;-) ~ but I *could* stop there & call it a day ~ well, MAYBE I could stop,LOL!

ah.. but those are only suggestions.. not set in stone. You still have the freedom to experiment and try different shades to see how they'll fit you :)
