I swatched some of my Illamasqua, NARS, Make Up For Ever, Bare Escentuals and Korres for you and wanted to show you the colors. I’m kind of amused at how similar some of the shades are. Some of these were gifts from friends, but most were purchased by me.

Anyway I thought you’d appreciate the beauty of all the colors together.

Row 1 Illamasqua Liquid Metal Solstice – BE Spectacular – BE Breathtaking – MUFE Star Powder 902 – Bysance marigold
Row 2 NARS Bysance violet – Illamasqua Intense – Illamasqua Heroine – Illamasqua Bronx – Korres 27S Golden Bronze

Row 2 NARS Bysance violet – Illamasqua Intense – Illamasqua Heroine – Illamasqua Bronx – Korres 27S Golden Bronze
Row 3 MUFE 9 Lavender Matte – MUFE 58 Bright Raspberry Matte – Illamasqua Static – MUFE 171 Iridescent Acid Green

I really love Heroine as a contour shade for the cheeks and eyes, as odd as it sounds. I love Intense for being a silky smooth matte teal. You know my love affair with teal! I adore Static and it’s fun to put on top of things. I love the golds I need to try the Raspberry shade. The BE highlighter shade is similar to MUFE 902, but 902 seems to give more of a glow/iridescence. The Korres shade is similar to Bronx, but the Korres seems less pigmented.

What colors do you like the best?
