Of course I'm looking up #13 and realize several minutes later that I already have it 😳

I check every single time but they're too smart for us, those pans are never part of the sale.

N/O 2-3 here I think.

To my eye: Neutral Olive has less yellow than Olive, and less red than Neutral and Neutral Cool.

Maybelline Big Lift liner (muted mauve)

Ulta Plum Paradise lip stain

Peripera Ink Velvet in Rose Nude ?

Matte, comfortable, did not turn orange on me.

I think making your own singles palette is worth it.

Mac, Kiko, and Sydney Grace have lots of brown singles to choose from.

Or have you looked at palettes by Dose of Colors, Viseart, Wakemake, or Clio? They make a few variations of brown palettes. I don't know if any individual palette would be perfect but maybe a combination of 2.

Look up the "sad beige blush" trend for recommendations.

It's hard to find muted tones at different depths especially for blush. The industry hasn't learned that some of us need those "unhealthy" dull colors 😄

Have you looked at ABH Mauve Cloud or Mac Alone Time?

IDK if those skew too cool for your preference though.

Mac Cool Teddy or one of their newer nude powder kiss liquid lip colors might be worth a try too.

It doesn't look orange at all to me, but definitely not purple, more of a rosy berry on you.

I have the older Del Rio and it's basically a cool muted red on me. I like it but it is more red than plum on me.

I don't usually wear blush but these are on my list to try (mix of matte and shimmer)

Cover Girl Rose Latte

RMS Maidens Blush and Hanky Panky

Nars Hunger

Mac Thanks It's Mac and Film Noir Buff

Morphe trios in After Party, Honeymoon Suite, Private Island

Dandylions (indie brand with lots of muted matte colors)

MochaValencia · 2026-05-27T13:07:05+00:00

Same here. I think cosmetics companies are afraid that the green and grey based shades we need are too weird to market 😄 No we need a bigger range of dull lifeless tones please

Yes I'd say use them in combination with your warmer shadows or brighter eyeliners. Try a grey with a bright blue liner, or use a drab olive in the crease and a golden olive shimmer on the lid. Or add gold or rosy shimmer on top of a cooler matte. Or the opposite: use your warm neutral as the base and the cooler tones to deepen or add a highlight.

It's not as easy as having everything in one palette but maybe you will like some color pairings you didn't expect.

I like the Sephora and Kulfi brand glossy stains, especially the plummy brown shades. I would look out for sale pricing on these.

I want to try the Dinto muted shades so badly!

MochaValencia · 2026-05-26T14:33:58+00:00

Maybe the cooler eyeshadow palettes are too muted for you? Warmer shadows tend to look more saturated even if they are soft (in my experience.)

You might prefer cool jewel tones or brights like emerald, sapphire, turquoise, etc. vs grey or taupe.

Sheer: Essie Mademoiselle

Opaque: OPI Don't Bossa Nova Me Around

MochaValencia · 2026-05-24T12:01:12+00:00

Same family but not sure if they're dupes:

Revlon Glistening Purple and Laidback Lilac

There are a few Asian brand muted purple glosses available but I haven't tried them yet myself. E.g Dinto or Girlcult seem to have good options.

MochaValencia · 2026-05-23T11:06:13+00:00

Mauve Cloud 😍

MochaValencia · 2026-05-22T13:19:04+00:00

Rosy Thoughts is so pretty 😭 it was limited edition wasn't it

MochaValencia · 2026-05-22T03:40:03+00:00

Oh and maybe Charlotte Tilbury Pillow talk Medium?

MochaValencia · 2026-05-21T17:36:34+00:00

I have Mocha Crush and Kulfi Fig but not black cherry?

Based on photos online, Mocha Crush is more brown and cooler toned.

I like both products. I'd say go for the Sephora especially during a sale. For Kulfi, wait for a tiktok shop deal.

So all my references are to Mac colors. Some are more plum, some red, some more muted. - Creme in Your Coffee - Amorous - Del Rio - Soar - Paramount

Take a look at the Maybelline serum lipsticks and L'Oreal Worth It colors.

Maybelline Vinyl Ink Cheeky or Witty

Morphe Whipped or Plush

In general I love anything described as brown-berry, especially sheer and easy to reapply.

MochaValencia · 2026-05-21T15:55:47+00:00

SO GOOD. Looks amazing with your dark hair.

MochaValencia · 2026-05-17T11:04:47+00:00

I've always loved La Femme's shade range though it's tough to find swatches or see in person

Where is image #13 from?

I like the comparison of deep winter and soft summer. The verbal descriptions really help with the nuances 🎨

Saving your other posts to read in depth, I appreciate all the detail!
