Silk Naturals Fall 2011 Eyeshadows Review & Swatches (Part 3)


I have a few more Silk Naturals eyeshadows to show you. These are the golds and coppers from the Fall 2011 collection. Plus a gift with purchase.

Part 1 (blues, greens, and teals) can be viewed here.

Part 2
(pinks and purples) can be viewed here.

From L to R: Hairpin, Spoiler, Fusion, and My Goodness (GWP).



Hairpin is a mid-tone copper bronze. It has an Eyelight finish, and it is so flippin' gorgeous!



Spoiler is a golden bronze with a tinge of green. It's shimmery, but not too shimmery. It doesn't have an Eyelight finish, but it's a beautiful shade.



Fusion is a golden gray with copper highlights. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this color when I ordered it, but when I received it, I was surprised at how amazing it actually is. It has an Eyelight finish and has a wonderful iridescent glow.



My Goodness is a shimmery pink with a hint of brown and a purple sheen. This was a gift with purchase during that week. So pretty!



I hope these photos and swatches help. The shades are not really easy to describe accurately since each color (like Hairpin and Fusion) has a highlight that changes hue depending on the light source and how the light hits it. Most of them are semi-sheer to semi-opaque with a pearlescent sheen. They can be used wet or dry, but of course using a good eyeshadow primer will intensify the colors and give you the best results. I am really impressed with these Eyelights (and even the ones that aren't, like Spoiler), and I hope to see more of this texture and finish in the future.


What do you think? Did any of these shades make your shopping basket?

  3. Fusion is amazing. I swatched it on my hand & wasn't sure what to think. On my lids it really brought out the inner gold circle in my green eyes. I used Nighthawk in the crease for some definition and it was a great look. Haven't tried hairpin on my eyes yet.
