Bottom row (left to right): Copper Rose Quartz glaze, Raisin glaze, White Peach glaze.
Swatches in same order, except Copper Rose Quartz and Raisin, which I managed to switch. All swatches are dry, and on unprimed skin.
Trish McEvoy makes some gorgeous neutrals. The only reason I don't own more of them is that I found the counter a little too determined to make me buy more than I was looking for (trying to upsell, pushing the skincare quite heavily). For the life of me I'll never understand this kind of approach; you might make someone buy more than they intended once, but they'll avoid your counter forever afterwards if they don't remember it as a pleasant experience. It's also a bit annoying that the eyeshadows don't come with a container; you have to buy a charger or a planner to store them in.
Tawny is a little chalkier than the other shades; if I had to recommend one shade of sludge out of those I own from this line it would be Raisin. I do love the Deep Amethyst definer, which gives a smoky line, and can also be used wet for a more liquid liner effect. Pulling these out almost tempts me to brave the Trish McEvoy counter again; it has been quite a while since I last visited, and perhaps the sale technique has calmed down a little since then.

You have reminded me that I have slots in my Trish organiser too ... must rectify that! Copper Rose and Topaz look lovely. I already have Amethyst, it's a lovely shade.
ReplyDeleteThe pressed face powder and highlighters are lovely too. But I always thing that the blush pans are too small to get a decent brush onto.
I LOVE Trish eye shadows, especially Raisin. I fond that the sales technique varies by store.
ReplyDeleteThese look like perfect colours for me.. though I think my nearest store is quite a distance. I hate pushy sales. I avoid some stores for the same reason. Emma x
ReplyDeleteIf the Edinburgh counter is anything to go by, I don't think the sales voltage has been dimmed. She's very charming but still quite forceful to put it mildly.
ReplyDeleteHi Get Lippie - I find that too with the blushes, especially if you have them next to an eyeshadow in the palette.
ReplyDeleteHi SB - both the counters here are quite full on, although one was definitely worse!
Hi Computergirl - there are some lovely shades in the line.
Hi GreatSheElephant - it's sort of good to know it isn't just London!
I just got the Eye Definer in Deep Amethyst Matte,and it's great!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of powder eyeliner, but didn't like having to fuss with wetting them.
This one is the first I've tried that's intense enough to wear dry. As long as I wear it over a tenacious base, like Illuminare All-Day shadow, it stays put on my VERY oily skin, too.
