I love that color on you, I honestly love it period. It looks gorgeous, and makes your eyes stand out really wonderfully. Use it more often, girl!

I like it, however I feel like the color goes up a bit too far into the brow bone. I would suggest using a matte light champagne colour on the brow bone and blend in downwards into the gunmetal colour. Other than that I really like it!

Oh okay, it's a bit hard to see in the picture quality. To me under the brow it looks grey but it probably looks way different in person.

Is beautiful is nice seeing your trying out gunmetal I still get nervous but you totally made me want to give this eyeshadow a chance Lili :D.

I quite like it.
I would just maybe blend it out a little more to make the transition between darker & lighter more smooth. but the colours look amazing!

Thanks kyra and elsa I know what you mean I felt if fy but I got to much of that color to let it sit around the naked palette has it to and if seen tutorials where they use it with brown and it looks beautiful but the thought of seeing brown sand grayish together don't grab my attention so used skimp and zero instead >.< but thank you very much.

I love gunmetal. I even use it wet..good stuff.
I like that you're using colors you usually wouldn't.. it looks good.

Thanks you very much naomi, I like using different shadows I'm not scarred to try different things but gunmetal didnt really speak to me before you get me? Lol.

I totally understand what you mean.. not suggesting you shy away from color at all.. its just one of those colors (n the realm of all those other fab ud colors) that just didn't get used.. ;-)

Exactly naomi, I'm a post another post asking what's a good blending brush, as you can see I have really small eyes and usually the brushes are to big and make it hard to blend maybe you can help me >.<

Agreed and understood!. I am also in the market for a.drugstore set of just eye brushed. the real technique set was enticing but when I checked it out at ulta they seemed big. same for the eco tools which was my other choice.
before this I've Been using Avon brushes. love them!! n some elf studio brushes. but they need to b replaced so I wanted to weight all options before repurchasing the same.
also, Mac has their gift brush sets out (along with other brands). those are usually smaller.
hope this helps. ;-)

I may just buy the eco tools rye brush set n see how they work out n purchase around that observation.

I have eco tools and its huge lol... Have you tride sonia kashuk? They are great brushes won't hurt your walette and good quality I have some of those but they are kinda big I have one of her bruses in mind but I'm if fy cuz I don't know if its going to work on me... For you how dows the texture of a blending brush have to be? For example soft and lose, soft but stiff, just stiff, I don't know if you get what I'm asking >.<

I follow.
it depends.
like I have an eye shadow blending brush by stila n it rough. I don't like it. the brushes should b somewhat on the softside for eyes. the stiffer brushes are like a concealer brush or cream eye shadow brush.
I do have a Sonia K travel brush set. but it doesn't get used much..
the ecotools brushes looked big to me and the real technique ones look small online but the same as ecotools in person.

I know that costal sceants makes decent brushes but I really wasn't trying to order anything.
do you have any elf eye shadow brushes?.

I haven't used that color in so long but I love it. I may need to bust out my book of shadows (surprisingly that's the only UD palette I own with it in it since I don't have any of the naked palettes) and play around with it.

@Naomi I had one but after I washed it once a lot of the bristels came off so I never bought elfe again, mostly all of my brushes are sonia k's that I have bought in sets an only one that I have bought by itself, I have been thinking of getting a single sephora brush just for blending but I don't know how good they are.

@caitlin I have of the top of my head I have like 5 palettes that have gunmetal it might be even more then 5 thats why I feel like I have to use it lol.

Yeah, sorry that happened to you with that brush. I buy the $3 studio brushes. n there are two of the $1 brushes that I can use. but I do notice they can b hit or miss. there was a black.c eye brush I bought like 5 of them and I could use them for everything. the Avon brushes are made a lot better. I bought a bunch when I got them on sale. like $2.99/4.99 each. depending on which they were..
but I don't have any sephora brushes. I have put them n ny cart to try or picked one up. n just ended up never buying any..

You made me want to go out thiere and look for a avon sales person >.< ha ha, I'm going to try them out one of thes days, I never thought they would be any good but after what your saying they sound great.
