Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)

Favorite inner tear-duct eyeshadow? Anything light and brightening! It varies depending on the overall color theme of the eye look I’m doing, though.

Favorite brow bone eyeshadow? Easy: MAC Orb!

Favorite transition shade eyeshadow? MAC Kid or Heux, and there’s many others that I love that are in multiple palettes. But, when in doubt, MAC Kid or Heux.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite inner tear-duct eyeshadow? Sometimes it’s a gold shade, from one of my many palettes – Exquisite Opulence is one favourite. Or a colourful one – a rose gold, a teal shade.

Favorite brow bone eyeshadow? One of my favourites is the lightest shade in PMG’s Subliminal Platinum Bronze palette called Platinize

Favorite transition shade eyeshadow? It really depends on the eye look and the colours I am using.
Sometimes I go for something bright – like Phoenix Awakens and if I am doing a neutrals it could be a gold eyeshadow – Steampunk is a favourite or a soft brown shade similar to Toasted from UD.

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite inner tear-duct eyeshadow? 2 “oldies” – #2 from the Chanel Tisse Gabrielle quad and #1 from MAC Posh Pedigree. Either of those lights up my inner corners just beautifully. I also really like MAC All That Glitters
Favorite brow bone eyeshadow? I don’t generally use a brow bone highlight though one I like (not sure if it’s still available) came from Too Faced (I think). It was a light pinky-white chubby pencil designed specifically to “lift” your brows and highlight your brow-bone area. It is/was a lovely product.
Favorite transition shade eyeshadow? Any one of a dozen or more – MAC Soba, Omega, Wedge; Inglot 349; Stila Puppy; Natasha Denona Harlow; the middle shade in the Dior Feel 5-pan – the list goes on and on…

Your skin tone/coloring: pale yellowish, blue eyes, green hair
Favorite inner tear-duct eyeshadow? If I remember, I like something in a gold or champagne shimmer. However, sometimes I like a bright color like lime green if it suits the look.
Favorite brow bone eyeshadow? I don’t wear anything on my brow bone most of the time, but if I do it is usually the same as my cheek highlight.
Favorite transition shade eyeshadow? I just blend and blend and blend, so I don’t have dedicated transition shades.

I don’t do tear duct because it’s not an area I should highlight. And I don’t have enough real estate for browbone. But transition, lots of choices, because SG has many color-leaning midrange shades that go perfectly (imo) with any color look. Like Speedway, Moon Landing, Thunderbird, Cool Brown, San Jose or Diego, Plus others. They are great to tone down overly colorful looks.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; copper hair; hazel/green eyes.

Favorite inner tear-duct eyeshadow? I don’t have a favorite. Anything shimmery or sparkly. Sometimes I use a bright or neon.

Favorite brow bone eyeshadow? I don’t have a favorite. I usually prefer a light, shimmery champagne, beige, or similar. But the color can vary, and I sometimes use mattes.

Favorite transition shade eyeshadow? I don’t use a transition shade.
