Four posts about MUFE Artist Shadows in one day? I felt dizzy and happy with so many swatches all at once.
Finally a darker navy blue. I love blackened blues.
Will purchase NAVY BLUE, PEACOCK and GARNET BLACK by tomorrow.

Yeah, I absolutely love my Mufe Artist Shadows and I’m definitely obsessed by the new range just as you. I have Black Diamond, Black Purple, Black Gold, Golden Khaki, Reptile, Olive Gray, Saphire, Peacock Blue, Azure Blue and Blue Cedar. And I’ll purchase Pine Green, Navy Blue, Peacock and Garnet Black by tomorrow (I’m still deciding if I purchase Pink Granite or not).
This year I became a more passionate fan of Make Up Forever because of the new cream blushes and these new eyeshadows.
And I OWE IT ALL TO YOU. Thank you very much for your hard job, high commitment, for your high level of overall professionalism, for your integrity, dignity, wisdom, respect, fairness, transparency, honesty, reliability. Thanks a lot for your impartiality, independence, responsibility and rigour. Many thanks for being so attentive, polite, kinda, courteous, engaging.
I feel forever grateful to you for everything!

I don’t think I have that shade (I couldn’t find it on Temptalia when I searched), but it seems to be the standard teal-red-brown duochrome, and MUFE is more of a green duochrome. MAC has something similar – they have Blue Brown pigment and Green Brown pigment, similar base, both duochromes, just one is blue-teal and one is green.

Yes, Petals is definitely brown-teal. I really like Peacock, but I didn’t want to duplicate a shade I already had. I don’t have a brown-green duochrome. Thanks so much!

Rachel R. Avatar

Oh, good to know. Thank you. Definitely need to add to my “things to try on the next time I’m at Sephora” list. This definitely would need a test run before purchase.

I’m really loving peacock, silver brown, magma, poppy and garnet! So hard to choose between MUFE artist shadows! I don’t own any, but they’re definitely on my wish list! As always, thanks for the swatches! 🙂

You.are.somethin.else Christine!! I don’t know how you have the patience to swatch so many shadows ,photograph them etc and on a Saturday at that but has off to you and they are soooo helpful so thank you very much 🙂 Im loving golden pink and Fairly pink right now but MUFE has out done themselves with this range !!

Hannah Avatar

Christine, has MUFE given a description of what each finish is supposed to be like? From the swatches, I can’t really tell the difference between the Metallic, Diamond, and Iridescent finishes at times! Any insight about the differences in these finishes? Thank you for all your hard work with all these swatches! These new eyeshadows looks gorgeous, so I think many readers must appreciate the comprehensive swatches!

Christine Avatar

I feel like they surely must have done so at some point SOMEWHERE! But I can’t recall or find it. I just double-checked the initial press release for Artist Shadow, and it just mentions the technology behind the formula. The 30th Anniversary palette release didn’t cover it either, and the included pamphlet with the 30th palette didn’t have anything on it. I checked Sephora and MUFE’s website and no luck.

Diamond is more sparkly, metallic has a smoother sheen compared to iridescent, which is most similar to your traditional frost finish to me. Satin has a low sheen, and then matte has matte. Matte shades have a totally different feel in regards to texture compared to all the other finishes–they feel like regular powder eyeshadows to me, whereas the others are denser and almost gel-like.

Have been looking for the swatches thanks alot dear but I also wanted to see the swatches for matte finish eyeshadows :)) did you post it or its coming soon

MakeupTray Avatar

If you love these colors and products please purchase from this line. Rumor is this company isn’t doing well and they may be closing stores

Valerie Avatar

Oh Christine, why must you tempt us with all these pretty eyeshadows? I own 6 (I206, I212, ME232, ME912, I918 and S838) and plan to buy the Studio case and a trio of rose/brown. Sigh. 🙂

Jules Avatar

Christine you are dedicated. You are certainly taking the overwhelming confusion out of purchasing for so many colors. That ME828 Garnet Black certainly beats all from this grouping for me. The garnet color almost looks like it lays separate from the black in your swatch. It really is both at the same time.

That Navy is niiiiiiice. If I didn’t already know how little I reach for dark blue shadows, I’d probably be wanting it badly.

(It’s weird…blue’s my favorite color, but I reach for jewel tones of purple and teal or neutrals mixed into brights for shadow.)
