I would pair them with MAC’s mineralize blush in Danity , I think it would match my skin tone and the eyeshadows very nice . My birthday is coming so if I win this you would really make me happy .<3

I would definitely pair my Cover Girl Golden Pink blush with these. It complements my skin so well. I’d also wear my Flirt! super shiny lipgloss in pinkster. Can’t forget the false eyelashes…This would make a perfect face for me!!

I’m loving all these competitions! I get so excited!

I’d put loads of black eyeliner round my eyes to give loads of definition and then false lashes after that. Cheeks – just a hint of highlighter such as Nars the Multiple in Luxor and some clear gloss on lips – the eyes would be the focus! Thanks Christine!

Sorcha Avatar

I would wear them with MAC Hipness blush because it’s my favourite blush EVER and since I’m fairly sure Going Bananas would be one of my favourite eyeshadows ever I think they deserve each other.

Nichole Avatar

Going Bananas with Lime or Sassy Grass, no highlight or flesh toned highlight. Free to Be with Embark, make a neutral looking eye, and highlight of choice.

Mandy Avatar

These two shades I’d wear them to their full intensity, so I’d want to go easy on my cheeks so I’d use my estee lauder creme caramel shimmer powder on my cheeks as a blush!!!!!

sarah Avatar

i would pair them with either pink swoon because its very sheer and light but still really preety or well dressed for going bannanas with free to be i would wear peachy keen very lightly to bring out the peachy ness of the color (:

Janea Avatar

I think that the Perfect Cheek or All’s Good would look great with all of these colors. It depends on the type of look I was going for though really. Pink Swoon would look good too!

Aimee Avatar

something really subtle so that the main focus is on the eyes…
a nice pastel glow from well dressed or coy girl would be beautiful… springsheen would work too 🙂

Kristen Avatar

I’ve been dying to get Going Bananas. I would use it to recreate some of the looks you have done.
I also wanted to do a fading look from a white shimmer to Going Bananas then Acid Rain from Urban Decay

Ruth Avatar

I would pair them with a brown pencil eyeliner in the waterline (whiskey from naked palette, maybe) and my favourite peachy blusher rose brune by boujois x

Kathy Avatar

Because both shadows are so warm and vivid (especially Free to Be, which kinda already looks like a cheek color to me), I would wear a much sheerer and softer blush.

I think I’d wear the Shell Pearl beauty powder (from the Liberty of London collection)!

lizzy bee Avatar

I would wear a peachy coral blush with either/both of these two eye shadow shades. I think this would be a great color combination: the pink/peach would complement the pink/ vibrant yellow of these MAC shades.

Samantha Avatar

i would use a just a tad of some shimmery bronzer as a highlight and use a very light peach colored blush below it just on the apples and blended up into the highlight color. I love these contests, Thanks so much Christine!

Sara Avatar

Not sure which blush I’d pair with these, they’re all soo different!!! Maybe something somewhat neutral because of the bright eyeshadow colors 🙂

Carrie Ann Avatar

I’d pair these w/ a light peach or coral blush, like MAC’s Springsheen, Fun & Games, Utterly Game and Superdupernatural, or Benefit’s Coralista.

Katie Avatar

Probably Mac’s Cubic or Well dressed. They’re pigmented enough to be to noticeable, but they also aren’t so outstanding that they overpower the eyeshadow.

Mayra Avatar

For free to be i would probably pair it with using the same eyeshadow but as blush just to have the same color. and for going bananas I would probably wear my stereo rose!

Mel Avatar

Well Dressed blush by MAC, with is baby pink satin finish, really compliments my skin tone and wears well with either cool or warm colours, it is very versatile for my complexion 🙂

Lou Avatar

focus on the eyes! bring the color out with like bright plum and pink and stuff, contrast the colors and keep the rest of the face subtle, saw that on another blogger, totally gorgeous the colors she could use together!

Jelissa Diaz Avatar

I would these both eyeshadows with a a brown like Mulch which has really pretty gold glitter in it and then I would use Mineralize skinfinish Cheeky bronze on the cheeks and natural lip or light coat of clear gloss.

Kat Avatar

Maybe a soft peach, or a light peachy-pink blush, or something more subdued in brightness, like a soft bronze would look nice too =) Just a light touch on the cheeks to compliment the bright-coloured eyes.

Felicia Avatar

I’d wear these with a very sheer blush and focus more on the highlight. Since these are brightish colors I wouldn’t want to take away the focus from them.

Chelsea Avatar

I can see myself wearing MAC’s Well Dressed blush with either shadow. It is light enough to not take the attention away from the eyes but it enhances the face in a wonderful way.

Yenny V Avatar

Since these are such bright colors, it’s either toned down blush or going super bright for a Halloween doll look. My favorite natural blush right now is MAC Pet Me (Fabulous Feline) with a light hand. For the doll look, I’m thinking MAC Tipsy (Hello Kitty).

Hope Angela Avatar

Either one would love amazing with a bronzer, i would use MAC Weekend Creme Bronzer from the Beach collection or Chanel 4 Facettes Bronzer

Both Gorgeous Shadows, i missed out on them!

Thanks for the contest Christine
xoxo

Anita Avatar

I’m not a crazy blush fan, particularly because I’ve never taken the time to look around and find a good blush for my skin tone x) so it’s kind of difficult to answer a question like this, considering I’ve owned like…10 blushes in my entire lifetime xD
Something peachy? xD

Lakitha Goss Avatar

I would pair Going Bananas as a highlighter for the brow bone. I would use Parfait Amour in the inner lid to the inner crease with Shockaholic in the outer crease. Ban This Lipglass would be use on the LIP.

I would pair Free to be with Speck eyeshadow. I would do a neutral lip with this combination such as Entice Lipglass over Shitaki Lipstick.

evilpenguin89 Avatar

I would pair these with a light peach blush, I would probably use elf’s peach blush. I think they’d work well with something like O-Glow as well.

Natalia Avatar

Hi! I would wear those with MAC POWDER BLUSH fever! I love this color and I think it matches perfectly with those eyeshadows! 😀

Good luck to everyone!

Jenna Avatar

for these two beautiful eye shadows, i would pair them with a simple bronze-y blush. Anything that looks natural because since these shadows are so out there you don’t want to pair it with something too colorful!

following you on twitter (imnotarunner)
I’d pick peachy keen by MAC I guess. I just learned to put on makeup via tutorial, this is still new for me at age 29. I know I know…late bloomer. Mom never taught me 🙂
