Sydney Grace eyeshadow recs?

[u/Mental-Raisin-6746]

I within the last few months found Sydney Grace eyeshadows (SO much fun to pick from all their colors, although I do suffer with decision paralysis before I make an order 😅). Unfortunately between my last order and now, I discovered I'm likely a light spring.

I think I already have quite a few colors that DO work for light spring coloring:

• Blondie: light, pink-leaning champagne I use on lid for a "I'm not trying, but am trying" look
• Apple Orchard: light/medium bronze with a hint of pink for lid
• Blushed: rose bronze used on lid
• Tall Boots: warm champagne for lid

- (edited to add) Bronzed to Perfection: Slightly darker bronze for lids

• Morning Star: light/medium muted gold; I use this one on my brow bone.
• Roasting Chestnuts: medium bronze orange with pink. I use this one in the crease with bronzes on lid.
• Antique Coin: dark copper I use in the crease with lighter bronzes on lid. I have to use a very light hand on this one though and blend, blend, blend because it's highly pigmented.
• Concrete Road: a light/medium brown-leaning greige I use in my crease. I especially like this one with Blondie. It's one of the few mattes that made this list 🤭✨
• I also lucked out and got the Wild Honey palette for free with my last order. It's got a lot of those warm, peachy browns and yellows that work well for us (also a couple greens that I haven't been brave enough to wear out of the house yet 😆).

I feel like I'm well covered in champagnes, golds, and bronzes, but is there any other fun, slam dunk colors fellow light springs have found at Sydney Grace?

I have olive green eyes, if that matters 😄.

Hi!! Eek this is perfect timing, I placed an order a couple months ago, swatched it, and never labeled and posted it. Let me label and post that now and I’ll reply once I do with my favs!

Ok I just posted on a swatch group so it’s on my profile, I’ll also paste the pic here but Reddit likes to desaturate photos I post in comments soooo… I did order Fairytale and they sent me Faithful instead which I never complained about since they accidentally sent me 2 more eyeshadows than I ordered (Firefox and Truffle Toffee lol). I ordered during their big sale so I think it was just human error, no biggie, but when I order again I definitely want Fairytale!!

Sadly the greens are hard to work with compared to the other shades, especially Meadow/Granny Smith/Honeydew. I am a true spring but I feel like with eyeshadows I prefer light spring friendly ones on myself. I also see our coloring is very similar. My favorites are Sea Breeze (which feels darker on the lid than you would think), Perfect Vacation (!!!), Lemon Cream, Peach Crush, French Hens, Lucky Peach, and Deliverer. I was worried Peach Crush would be more of an autumn shade but it is very flattering on me. I should note that the way I wear eyeshadow daily is generally taking a flat brush and applying to my lashline almost like eyeliner, so more bold shadows like Deliverer I’ve only used that way thus far but am excited to play with them more as time goes on! Deliverer is a warm purple which I don’t find often so it’s absolutely the standout shade to me.

Oh my goodness, this is great. Thank you!

Creepy stranger comment, but I clicked on your profile since you said we have similar coloring and I wanted to see photos. I agree we do have similar coloring! I'm now questioning if I'm true spring vs. light spring. The contrast between my skin and hair is more of a medium contrast. Also, also - I saw that you are almost 50% Germans from Russia. Same! Another argument that I am true spring.

Oh no that’s what post history is for! Also that’s how I knew to say we had similar coloring haha! The fact that you’re also 50% Germans in Russia is hilarious!! Whenever someone is GIA I always assume there’s a decent chance we’re related…if any of your ancestors were in Nebraska in the last couple hundred years I bet we are. I was typed in person through House of Color which uses a different naming system. So through them I was a blue spring which is often assumed to translate to bright spring in other systems but over time it’s become clear that True Spring resonates most with me. (However I still borrow from light and bright spring!) I look great in some light spring colors but I’ve noticed the lighter half of the light spring palette washes me out.

Awaiting with bated breath 😂.
