NYX Shadow Swatches - My Entire Collection

9:24 PM

Hey all!

I've been working all evening preparing all of my NYX shadows to be swatched for you guys. In total, I counted 67 unique single eyeshadows and 7 trios. 43 of the shadows were of course from the NYX lot sale as well as 5 of the trios. I know I had a tough time finding swatches online when I went to buy mine so I thought it would be helpful swatching the ones I had for you guys. This took a lot of time and energy so I would appreciate it if you would please not post these anywhere without my permission. ;)

These are mostly in numerical order, with a couple accident exceptions. I used a thin layer of UDPP as a base. If these swatches aren't perfect, I apologize as I swatched them all with q-tips for sanitary reasons in case I sell them.

Okay, here goes! My favorites have a * beside them. To be fair, I haven't tried a lot of these out on my eyes yet so there are colors I love that aren't starred!

  7. Hi Jen, it is me again :D
    btw, i am not sure if this happens to you but i actually have a really tiny lids. Only when my eyes 1/4 open then you can see the lids. So when i use the eye tape, it covered the real lids and make a new one. What happen is, every morning my eyes would puff like a fish with no lids at all. I have to wait for hours until it goes away. So im not sure, am i using the wrong tape, is that an irritation or what.

  8. Kay: Do you remove the tape at night? This sounds like the allergic reaction I had to Eyetalk glue. My eyes don't get super puffy in the mornings from wearing tape.

    I think you should probably switching your brand of tape. You are probably allergic to the one you use.

  9. Haha, I like how multicoloured your arm looks after all the swatching. I think my favourite would be Morocco eyeshadow, I don't think I've ever seen that colour being sold in stores near me though.

  16. have you tried the jumbo eyeshadow pencils? i only have yogurt & french fries but i LOVE both of them. i have a couple of the trios (i've heard the singles are much better but i also heard once you work past the top layer the trios become more pigmented) but i prefer my pencils. they work really well covering tape for double eyelids as well (the creamy texture sticks to the tape better & fills in the lil crevices of the tape, making it blend in better).

  17. nailpolishfiend: Hmm...I'm not sure exactly what to call it. Maybe piecey bangs that hang a bit in front of your eyes? I call it "my choppy, side-swept bangs were cut too short at the hairdresser and this is what it looked like after a week and a half". LOL! I just styled my choppy bangs with a tiny bit of texturizing paste. :)

    Anonymous: I have cream cheese, pots and pans, and oyster jumbo shadow pencils but I really use them mostly as tearduct highlighters and eyeshadow base. I personally think it reflects a lot of light on the tape and I prefer mine to be a bit matte. Maybe I don't have the right colors! I'm glad it works for you though. Maybe you can give me color recommendations. :)

  18. wow! all those swatches! It really does help. I have morroco and I love it...I think it's my fave nyx eyeshadow. I like eggplant and rust as well.

  19. i haven't tried it with my yogurt jumbo pencil but i loved how my french fries pencil turned out. i first put on a layer of french fries on my eyelid and then i put the tape on and put another layer of french friends on top of the tape. i tried putting just yogurt over the tape without putting it under the tape as well and it didn't work too well. the edges of the tape wouldn't get covered up and it just looked awkward. if the tape doesn't stay well on top of the eyeshadow i like to put a sheer layer of eyelid glue where i want the tape to go(i used darkness) and wait for it to get tackier and then i stick the tape on top. it makes the tape stay in place much better. and i have oily lids so i have to use glue with my tape whether it's under the tape or over the tape (or both!) or the tape will slide positions on my eyelids during the day and mess up my crease & be very obvious as well.

  21. Wow! Your last image looks sooo cool ~^_^~ That's an awesome collection! NYX eyeshadows look very pigmented. Maybe I'll try it out. I'm just not bold enough to try colourful shadows yet, only neutral colors for now =)

  22. Volcano is beautiful. It is a nice brown but has a plummy- purple look to it, too.

  23. Wow, your favorite ones are some of my favorite ones too! The flamingo and morocco are gorgeous colors. I've been trying to find the princess pink/flamingo/violet trio one so that I could depot and fit in my Mac palette, but I can't find it any stores or the Nyx website. I think they must have discontinued it =(

  24. Would you know which NYX colors would be good dupes for the UD Naked (original) palette? That would be awesomely helpful!
