So now that I’ve tried several of my Silk Naturals products (both ones sent to me to review and others that I’ve purchased), I can say that I really like them.
Eye Shadows:
The eye shadows are nice quality. They apply well and blend easily. They’re pigmented. The eye shadows are packaged in 5 gram jars and you receive about 2 grams of shadow in each jar. They’re $4.00 each.
There are several types of eye shadows offered including shimmers, mattes and metallics. There are also subcategories that include morphing colors, one wash colors, vegan and clones. They’re not repackaged. They’re definitely custom made.
Clones:
I wanted to talk about clones in specific because it’s an interesting concept. Silk Naturals makes clones of popular colors from MAC, Urban Decay, Smashbox, Chanel, Nars, Bare Escentuals, Bobbi Brown and Stila. They’re formulated with mineral ingredients, and no talc or bismuth oxycholoride or preservatives. This is especially nice if you have an allergy to those ingredients.
(Wearing Smashbox Muse Clone, Cruise in crease, MAC Naked Lunch Clone, Nekkid on lid, and Fairy Dust highlight.)
I think this is neat because you can get a color such as the rare MAC Parrot. MAC Parrot can sell for up to $50 on ebay. But if you’re dying for this color, try the Silk Naturals version for $4.00. This particular color applied easily and I found to be very flattering on me.
(Wearing MAC Parrot Clone Poly on lid and crease, BE Rock Star Clone Rebel in outer vee, MAC Rice Paper clone Papyrus to highlight and Liberty on the inner lid.)
I have a few other clones, including Papyrus (MAC Rice Paper), Rebel (BE Rock Star), Slick (BE 1980s), Cruise (Smashbox Muse), Nectar (Black Honey lipstick), Maybe Baby (MAC Blushbaby blush) and Sultry (MAC Brick-o-la)
(Wearing Lime matte, Aubergine, Bewitched and Fairy Dust.)
Blush:
While Silk Naturals doesn’t do samples of most colors, some blush samples are offered. Their blushes are sheer for buildable color. They come in 10 gram jars containing about 3.5 grams of product. They’re broken into categories of cool, warm, neutral, matte, shimmer, vegan and cream. They range from about $6.50 to $6.75 each.
I’ve tried two of the blushes: Maybe Baby (MAC Blushbaby Clone) and Cider. I really like Maybe Baby, and while I think I like the color Cider, I don’t think I like it on me.

I do like the blushes that I’ve tried and their textures, even if I don’t think both colors work on me.
Glow:
I did try one glow, Liberty, which is a light golden glow. I used it on my inner lid, and it looked pretty nice. I haven’t tried it as a glow.
Lips:
Silk Naturals offers several different type of liip products, including Organic Vegan lipstick, Organic Lip Gloss, Black Label Organic Lip Gloss and Liquid Wand Lip Gloss. I have Sultry and Raisin Organic Vegan Lipsticks, Black Dahlia Vegan Lip Gloss, and Nectar Organic Lip Gloss.
It seems like the majority of Silk Naturals lip glosses fall into the Organic Lip Gloss category, being sold in a solid form. There aare 3 stick formulas and 1 liquid, and I think all of the ones I’ve tried work very well.
They seem to range in price for $4.50 to $5.95 and I believe it is about .07 oz of product.
They’re not crazy colors, but they’re definitely nice colors. They’re moisturizing and feel nice on the lips. So while some days I feel like turquoise or purple lipstick, other days I feel like red or plum.
While I do have one of their foundation mixing kits, I have not yet tried it out, so I cannot attest to the quality of that. However, if it is in line with the rest of their products, I think it will be of good quality.
Overall, I really like Silk Naturals products. I will continue to purchase from them and I do recommend them.
I find their costs to be reasonable, as well as their processing time, shipping time, and shipping costs. While they don’t offer samples on most items, they do accept returns on colors that don’t work for you. You can get a return for store credit on all full sized items. This means that you can try colors outside of your comfort zone without fear.
So tell me, have you tried Silk Naturals?

Hello Cotton
I like SilkNaturals a lot, and my favorites are the lip products. Need to order soon again
Hi Nea!
What are your favorite colors?
the cloning idea is awesome….Very cool concept…I will have to check it out..
Hi Krista,
Yay, let me know if you pick anything up
Cruise and Poly WILL be mine. And it still makes me smile every time I see Poly, because the name (as well as the color) appeals to me so much. I will get them eventually, though, since I just caved and ordered a few Holiday Blast Colors.
And OT, I need to shoot you an email later today, I have something to talk to you about.
Hi Lindsey,
Yay you definitely will like them! I am actually really glad I took a chance on cruise, because it's effin' gorgeous. Way more than I thought it would be.
Sure, I'll be looking for the email.
I really want to try Silk Naturals soon, maybe after Christmas or tax time. I've been checking out her blushes mainly, they look gorgeous!
I love how she has clones, especially for someone like me with super sensitive lids. I think its pretty creative of her, I bet they are difficult to create!
Hi Phyrra,
glad you tried & liked Silk Naturals; those colours look really pretty on you.
