kitten eyeshadow, hands down.

I also vote for Kitten. Wheat is also a pretty color.

bex · Chanel

i vote for kitten too! i am wearing it today actually!

My favorite color has to be Cloud. It's a perfect light silver, that would really make your blue eyes stand out.

I'm also liking Poppy and Key, they're both pretty pastels.

Btw, good way to use your giftcard!

I like cloud too- i'm always the most attracted to it at sephora. I should give kitten more of a chance though since everyone seems to love it. Kitten is warmer, cloud is a cool tone, and since i have blue-ish grey eyes and i *think* i am a summer (remember color me beautiful? lol), the cloud works nicely, though can get ashy at times when my complexion looks drab. Try them both!

Kitten is my favorite too. It is shimmery, though.

I also like Starlight and Key, even though I don't have them.

My other favorites are Grace and Slate. ETA: and Espresso as liner.

lynnie -- I am sure Kitten would look beautiful on blue eyes! My eyes are sort of tri-colored and Kitten definitely makes them seem bluer. My blue-eyed sister also really likes Starlight.

For you girls who wear Kitten, do you wear it alone or w/another color? If w/another color - which one? I usually blend 2 colors together, which is why I'm asking.

i like kitten, grace, guava, and golightly.

I use 4 different purplish colors. I combine them in different ways to achieve different looks for different occasions. In general, I wear one lighter color, which I believe is Kitten and a darker one. By the way, do you know how to take the eyeshadow pans out of the compact so I can tell? I just tried hitting the compact against my dresser because the sales associates always do that when I buy new pans and I smashed up the color that I believe is Kitten.

I would totally appreciate it if someone helps me out and I will let you know what colors I use for what occasions.

I usually wear Nars All About Eve (which are very sheer, can-barely-see-them neutrals) underneath and kitten on top, with Espresso as a liner.

Or I wear Kitten with Grace (grey/brown). I have even worn it with a sheer lavender shade, but I have stopped wearing purple e/s since I think it makes my dark circles worse.

I am also searching for a good gold-green to wear with it.

ETA: AJ, can you just pry the pan out with a safety pin or something? Also, the girls on MUA say there's a tiny hole in the back of the palette and you can push it out, but I dunno.

Kitten, hands down!! My absolute fave eyeshadow ever. I wear it alone with a bit of brown shadow for eyeliner and mascara. So pretty. (If I do say so myself!

)

I'm a fan of Kitten too. I usually wear it alone, but I sometimes put some brown in the crease and some black eyeliner on for a more dramatic look.

Another cool tip about the Kitten color--if you use a blush brush, you can sweep it lightly over your cheeks to use as a highlighter!

Thanks girls! I have made a list with everyone's suggestions and am taking it to Sephora with me!!
