Which blue eyeshadow?

I am thinking of getting a blue-ish ES to use as a wash (more for day use). Any recommendation that looks natural and not "striking"? I am using Breathe, and I love it!
Thks!

Since you are a big fan of Breathe, I really suggest Butterfly Blue. It is similar to Breathe in texture and color layering, but with a frosty blue main color instead of a lilac main color. Other blues that are more understated than Butterfly Blue would be Mist and Wave. The two of them are similar blue-gray colored, but Wave has a lovely gold layer of color in it, and Mist is more straight blue-gray. Mist will be the most understated of the three.

First of all, thks Jen for recommending Butterfly Blue. I love it as much as Breathe.
Now I need ideas! I use Butterfly as a main lid color, what other colors go well with it as a crease color? Thks!!!

Hi LionT
With butterfly I love one of the following idolize, vineyard or orchid. I know in your 1st post you said you wanted somehting natural, but for the day when you want something more eye catching (and we all have those days) try bewitched or velvet.
I'm sure jen will give you more suggestions

I was going to suggest something like Idolize, too. The nice thing about it is that it makes a great crease color for any eyeshadow because it kind of has a shading effect. A blue crease color might be a little too overpowering for Butterfly Blue.
The purple shades are also a great idea. I wish I had more suggestions than Ghost, but she picked the best ones! I am kind of partial to Vinyard if I had to chose one of the others she mentioned.
