Swatch Gallery: Recent Update
Swatch Gallery: Recent Updates
The Swatch Gallery now contains all previous lipgloss lip swatches, as well as numerous cheek products (blushes, bronzers, highlighters). The eyeshadow section is up in part for some brands (but not all products have been included, even if the brand is listed) and is still very much a work-in-progress.
We are in the process of re-swatching the majority of eyeshadows (along with several cheek products) so that they will work with the Swatch Gallery format–which means single swatches of individual products so that they can easily be compared. We are doing our best to ensure both accurate and consistent lighting, and this is also a major reason why we are determined to re-swatch a great deal of products so that the comparisons will be helpful. (The quality of photos in early 2010 doesn’t even compare to the ones I take now, boo!)
Remember, you can drag the images around to create your own order, which will allow you to compare swatches side-by-side!
How do I get to the swatches? Can’t seem to find em.
You go here: http://www.temptalia.com/swatch-gallery
Then select the type of product you want to look at with the drop down menu, and then you need to select a brand or color.
Gosh Christine!! You guys work so hard & I’m thankful for it. Keep up the great work!!
I second that! This is so handy.
I’ve been loving the swatch gallery, it is so handy! Thanks for the update *scuttles off to check it out*
hi christine such a great idea that we can drag the images around to create our own order, which will allow us to compare swatches side-by-side!
that really wonderfulllll……..
Brilliant! Great work Christine!!!
this is fantastic, thank you so much!!
This is really an awsome feature, Christine. Thanks a million for the hard work you (and your boyfriend) put intoo this
Thanks Christine (and Shaun)! The Swatch Gallery, like the rest of the site, is so helpful. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Christine!
This is wonderful, and it’s going to be so helpful for shopping! Thank you, Christine. =)
Thank you Christine for all the work you put in that gallery, its relly a helpfull tool to check and compare all the colors.
I can’t view the page at all!!
Did you choose what product type to view?
your swatch gallery is the best thing that happened to beauty blogs
So I was looking through the swatches on lipsticks. I notice you don’t have many NARS, will you be increasing those swatches? Secondly, in the MAC section you had Do they have good staying power/last long? Thanks!
I can only swatch what I own – if I don’t have it, I can’t swatch it, sorry 🙁
MAC lipsticks can vary, but I typically get four hours of wear out of them. Matte shades are a little longer, as are darker shades; lustre finishes last 2-3 hours.
No, of course, I understand. I think what I meant was do you plan on picking up more NARS lipsticks? For some reason what I typed didn’t completely make it through. I meant the MAC question in regards to their Sheen Supremes. 🙂 Sorry for the confusion.
No, sorry, I don’t have any plans to – sorry!
This is such an awesome feature and a huge undertaking! Your hard work is most definitely appreciated. I was thinking, once you have everything entered (although it seems this will always be a work in progress) it would be really awesome if you could type in 2-5 products to compare, instead of scrolling through and trying to find them. For example if I could type in marine life compared to instant chic and have the gallery pull them up. Just an idea!
The Swatch Gallery is the most helpful thing on the blog for those of us who fancy makeup and do not own a large collection. It is perfect to see what colors are worth buying and how they actually look like on skin. Thank you so much for all the hard work you guys put into this website!!
Great job Christine and Shaun! Your hard work and dedication does not go overlooked. 🙂
Super fantastic! Now we can play “paint” with makeup images.
I had no idea you could drag the images around! That is brilliant Christine! I usually wish my screen was larger so I can see the swatches I want on the same page, but you have completely solved that problem!
Thank you so much for all the trouble! Us makeup-crazy girls are so grateful!!
Such an amazing job, thank you so much Christine !
