Ever debate over which lip color and blush to wear that eye look? This page features mini versions of my entire eyeshadow, blush and lipgloss collections all on one page to help put together a complete look. The collection includes a variety of shades from several different cosmetics brands, including Bare Escentuals, Becca, Benefit, Cargo, Chanel, Lancome, Lorac, MAC Cosmetics, Make Up For Ever, Nars, Pout, Prescriptives, Smashbox, Stila, Sue Devitt, Tarte, TooFaced, and Urban Decay. Please also visit the shade comparison pages for eyeshadow, lipgloss and blush, or return to the comparison project main page.
	Extra care was taken to ensure that the lighting was as uniform as possible in all photos for accurate comparisons. I used a Nikon D40 camera (using no flash) and an improvised light box with a 100-watt GE Reveal bulb (designed to make colors appear truer than a regular incandescent bulb, which emits yellow rays). A picture of my homemade "photo studio" is shown at the left in case anyone's curious. All swatches were made using sponge tip applicators or cotton swabs on freshly moisturized skin (to help the pigments adhere). For reference, the skin tone pictured is equivalent to MAC NC30 (medium, neutral to warm toned).
