I have finally swatched all of my Darling Girl samples, and I am so excited to show you these gorgeous shadows! Well, eleven of them are eyeshadows, and one's a blush ;)
Darling Girl Cosmetics is one of my absolute favorite makeup companies - their products are amazing, and the owner, Susan, is so sweet and helpful. I've ordered from her several times already, and I will definitely be getting more of her makeup. I seriously love every single Darling Girl product I own.
I would describe Susan's makeup as wearable with a twist. She somehow manages to make even the most neutral shades anything but boring. Her Jeweled Taupe shadow might just be the most beautiful taupe I've ever seen - and that says a lot considering that I'm pretty much obsessed with taupes. As usual, the pictures don't do the eyeshadows justice - they are so much more complex in real life! You really need to see them to understand just how beautiful they are ♥
I've swatched these shadows dry over e.l.f.'s Mineral Eyeshadow Primer, and I've borrowed the color descriptions from Darling Girl Cosmetics' website.

ReplyDeleteI love uprising. I cannot wait to get my package so I can use it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting to receive my first order from DG, but this has me convinced I have to get back on her site right away and get that Jeweled Taupe!
ReplyDeleteOk I think hands down you have the nicest swatches I have ever seen! I love the neutral colors. Is this line only available overseas?
ReplyDeletePixiemama5000: Thank you so much! And no, Darling Girl is based in the US (as are the majority of the brands I buy from) :D
