brightlotusmoonSo, I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in "Bender," which is "forest green metallic with gold micro glitter." Along with "Loaded," which is "deep metallic emerald," "Bender" is the only green shadow I can wear without looking ill. Both shades compliment my coffee eyes, ivory skin, and chocolate hair beautifully. But I have a bone to pick regarding "Bender." It should be metallic steel grey with silver micro glitter, perhaps Foghat Gray. Then again, I doubt the staff at Urban Decay knows about Futurama.
(Also, I know people in the writing world are tired and irritated by the use of food colors to describe skin, eyes, and hair - but I really think it is one of the best ways to make a character's appearance stand out. For example, ivory is off-white with a slight yellow undertone, which describes my fair complexion, which is Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Shade 2.0 and MAC NC15. Coffee is a deep soft brown with varied highlights, as is chocolate. I love hearing that kind of description for characters.)
