What color eyeshadow do you wish a brand would create? What do you feel you’re missing?
.
I think I’d like a really pigmented aqua-teal with flashes of violet and blue.

I would like to find a color exactly like the discontinued clinique Jaded.
MAC: almost-black, warm brown with golden brown irridescense, a veluxe pearl finish(I LOVE their VP eyeshadows)
Have you seen the dark brown color from Kat Von Dś Memento Mori palette?
i wished for the longest time that someone would make a hot pink shadow with lime green reflects in it, then sugapill’s decora came along. honestly, it was like every possibly present giving holiday at once
I would love to see a nice true, wearable red color. Granted I haven’t looked that much but something about a red appeals to me.
Urban Decay Heat (Deluxe shadow) is a good one. It has a very subtle flash of gold in it so if you’re not looking for matte this is a must-have when it comes to red shadow.
I like heat, but it’s hard to get enough caked on that it’s red-red and not just reddish pink
I wish Calypso Minerals hadn’t wound up such a cluster–well…. anyway, she had a red called “velvet.” It’s an absolutely gorgeous true-red matte. I love it so hard, but it makes me sad because I know I’ll never get more!
Super aqua blue.
Another red like Mi’Lady. That is the best true metallic red that I’ve ever feasted my eyes on. Not too purple, not too orange, just flat out metallic red.
i would like a flat neutral grey with a really intense copper shimmer two tone effect. Also a mossy grey-green with a super bright emerald shimmer.
Lastly I want an intense, matte, bright royal purple that is very blue based, not muddied up with black or white or brownish undertones – used to have an eye pencil like that many years ago and have never been able to find anything remotely like it ever.
For the purple, I would suggest Skeletrina from Tokidoki for Sephora. It’s lovely, but sometimes a little hard to work with, very tightly packed. Try it out, it might be what you’re looking for.
For me an emerald green color 🙂
The prettiest blue grey maybe in a frost or matte, I’ve been looking for the longest, Christine if you have any suggestion I would luv you for life. I do have bough grey, and scene by MAC, It doesn’t matter what brand It Is thanks Christine.
not a shadow, but MAC Industrial Pearlglide would totally fit your bill – it’s a perfect blue/grey duochrome.
i wish urban decay had like a John Deere green. it’s my favorite color ever
oh and it could have a little shimmer, but NO GLITTER!!!!!!!!
I want MAC to put out an actual mid-tone MATTE grey. What’s so hard about that? HUH?! WHAT?!??
Don’t tell me Copperplate either! I’ll shove my Copperplate up your… Copper plate? I donno… But I SO LONG for a true grey eyeshadow from MAC.
They used to make at least 3: Greystone (which may be a little darker than mid-tone– but was definitely a true, matte grey), Gris (a mid-tone warm grey), and Issue (a mid-tone cool grey).
I still have the ones I bought in ’96 or ’97. They are all lovely– but I hardly ever use them because I know they can’t be replaced!
I completely agree!
hey didn’t I just post on the makeup board about this exact shade??
LOL, I had to look up what I put, since I scheduled this post last week so at first I was like, “Huh??” But great minds think alike! 🙂
My favorite color combo is pink and blue, plus my hair’s pink so i’d definately love some cotton candy makeup.
I’d like a very pigmentated deep blue-forest green with purple shimmer and also a purple-greish-taupe.
Both should be very luminous and with a soft pearl finish 🙂
A really bright yellow yellow.
And a really gold gold and yellow gold.
A holographic taupe brown.
i would like mac to bring bac jardin ares pigment and i widh they would make a bubblegum pink eyeshadow
haha my first thought was a pigmented teal too! but duchrome teal with flashes of green and gold.
I would like an extremely pigmented really dark red-burgundy (kinda like Sketch) with some warm purple undertones and dark muted pink shimmer . If a colour like that comes out i will buy 10 of hem!!
OOH, anything sparkly with minimal fallout and just like you mentioned a few other flashes of color!
Even though sparkly is not used as much, (I mostly use satin and shimmer), I can’t wait until I can get my hands on collecting awesome sparkleness 🙂
It isn’t really a color but rather a series of colors based off of “True Blood”!! I would buy Those no matter how much they costed!!
omg i loooooooove true blood. the theme song is my ringtone for my boyfriend. haha.
I’d love a holographic colour, something that shimmers all the colours of the rainbow! :]
That’d be awesome! 😀
A really good frosty red with silver pearle.
A dark grey with gold flecks
A light brown with warm gold glitter and flashed of dark emerald green and light green, creating a warm honey colour with a bit of green (like my eyes)
I would love to find an opaque powder pink with a hint of peach
There’s not one that I’d like to see created, but I love taupe eye shadows. TRUE taupe eye shadows. I hate seeing shadows that are labeled taupe, but aren’t really taupe.
I would love a velvet pearl vinyl black
Mint green with flashes of pale gold and light pink. I’ll wear any shadow with flashes of color in it but that particular combo would match my bedroom decor.
I wish MAC would make a true bright red.
Yes, yes! Me too! And I would love for them to come out with a Veluxe Pearl or Frost black. Like a very smooth, shimmery black.
I’d love to see a company come out with a lime green that had pink duochromes in it! Or maybe a bright teal/aquamarine with lime duochromes and sparkles!
i would love like a really pigmented lookin corally pink with a satin finish and maybe with silver undertones
Don’t know if this already exists, but I LOVE the teal from the barbie loves stila palette! I have a similar color in an icing by claires palette I bought when I was a kid, and I kept it simply to find that color! I would love to see that color in all different finishes, and especially with silver sparkles, gold sparkles, a more green duochrome, a bluer duochrome, just that color in every way it can possibly be redone!
Well, I ADORE flakes for nails and lips, so…! <33
A fully shimmer black with dark grey and silver shimmer reflects, not a matte black with shimmer in it. And a whole range of dark greys and silvers with this kind of finish in cool tones and warm
Try urban decay’s oil slick. it might only have silver glitter in it but its super black and very sparkly!!
Ooo thanks you Was that in the Alice in Wonderland palette? I might have it >.<
yes it was!
I bet you’d LOVE Fyrinnae’s Javan Rhino. Its a fairly light aqua teal with good pigmentation, and lilac flecks!
my big “i’d love to find” at this point, is a matte aqua the same color as MUFE’s aqua flash cream. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that color, and all of the aqua’s I’ve tried are just slightly too dark, or sheer, or shimmery.
If only it was pressed!
Yeah! I pressed my first batch, but really was disappointed in how much of the subtlety was lost in pressing! I kept my second batch in the jars, though I’d rather have them in my palettes. Sigh.
I used to prefer pressed shadows, but any more, I hardly reach for even my MAC or Sugarpill shades that are pressed. I really don’t find the loose powders as unweildy as I had at one point and there is SO MUCH versatilty and range when you realize that if there’s not a perfect one out there for you, you can just MAKE one. It’s part of why I hope the mineral makeup thing is long-lived. I’d hate to lose the awesome resources that are so readily available right now.
The mess they create drives me batty 🙁 I also find the packaging sooooo tacky for me. I don’t know – I don’t want it to look like it was packaged at someone’s house. Like the little ziplock bags gross me out. I know, it’s silly, but yeah – it ruins the makeup experience for me.
a velux pearl light gray with a deep golden undersheen
a veluxe pearl light gray with a lot of gold undertones and shimmer
a pigmented burgundy with purple flex
Its not one color in particular more of a color collection. I am really into bright out there eyeshadow colors so I think it would be awesome for MAC to have a VP Crayola crayon inspired collection. I look at my kids crayons all the time and say to myself I really wish this one or that one was an eyeshadow because I would totally rock them.
A blue/gold duochrome
A really bright shimmery yellow!!!! I have crest the wave from mac and its just not cutting it, and I hate matte shades so I dont want chrome yellow :/

Busted!
I actually pre-write all of the Temptalia Asks You posts and then schedule them in advance about a week out, so that I don’t forget to post them at 10pmish (PST) – including this one, so it IS actually a coincidence. To be honest, I’m completely surprised that people would actually think that I’m so incapable that I can’t even come up with my own answer for something as easy as this question. I mean, let’s be real!
true forest green that flashes an obvious true purple, so a perfect duo-chrome like blue brown is.
A buttery smooth (hello Stila!) light soft grey with an opalescent sheen, so at certain angles it flashes pale pink, but is otherwise grey.
Ever since I saw a colour like this on Kate Walsh from her days on Greys Anatomy, I have yearned for an eyeshadow like this!!
omg i know this color that you are talking about i recreated kinda with mufe eyeshadows let me find my formula on my vanity and i will email it you !!!
I’m not crazy about eyeshadows but I’d totally buy your shade, Christine!
😀 Yay!
A true rich emerald green metallic that doesn’t lean at all blue (darker than UD Graffiti).
“Cadburys” purple high pigment Veluxe Pearl.
Forest green/purple duochrome
MAC Undercurrent in shadow form.
Yes! to the Cadburys shadow. Dream shadow 🙂
There are a few colors I’m looking for actually. All are duecrome wishes since they are my favorites!!
1.) a virbant/bright red toned purple with wither red reflects or bright yellow reflects in it
2.) Lime green with fuschia reflects
3.)Bright Fuschia with lime green reflects
4.) Warm bright chocolate brown with bright violet reflects.
I’m rpetty sure there are more I;m dying to see, but I just can’t think of them right now.
^_^
I would like a matte bright acid green like the one thats in the 88 matte palette but full sized. In my opinion almost all of the greens in the 88 palette are amazing and I want them in full size.
i completely agree with you i love love love the greens in the 88 palette! the grass green on needs to be one that someone does in a full size
Half purple, half grey and half brown (I know, that’s 3 halves and doesn’t make sense ;-p) deep, satin finish…
A metallic pinked up gold, quite light and but too frosty, a really warm, perfectly balanced rosegold shimmer…
Violet indigo with flashes of cobalt and aqua glitter…
And a soft charcoal with iridescent multi-coloured rainbow reflects!
I wish MAC would bring back Anti-Establishment and Vellum. That and a fantastic Violet Blue with Silver Shimmer in Veluxe Pearl!
Vellum is a mac pro color so you could buy it at a mac pro store or over the phone.
A really dark rich brown with flecks of gold and teal sparkles! That would be really pretty and wearable.
Black with red or turquoise shimmer
I’d love to see a saturated aqua/turquoise (think like Sugarpill’s Afterparty) with fuchsia flash.
Red ! I can never find a good red.
Honestly, I have done so much makeup-looking-at over the years that I don’t feel there’s a color that’s been overlooked. I’ve looked at high-end, drugstore, luxury, “mineral” start-ups…I’ve seen it all. LOL. What I wish is that I had the money to buy them all.
Word! ITA!
…now to answer the original question, I would *love* a deep chocolate brown with gold pearl with the same texture as the MAC Veluxe Pearl shadows (a bit darker and more brown than MAC’s Go, if anyone remembers that one from a few years back). Drool…..
And a wearable red would be killer as well.
