Not too long ago Darling Girl sent me the Darling Girl MILF Matte I’d Like to Find Eyeshadows to swatch and review. I also bought some of the colors of the month and other full sizes. I’ll be showing you both today.

By the way, if you love indies, last night in Poise Chat I live swatched some. You can watch that video here.

Darling Girl MILF Matte I’d Like to Find Eyeshadows

All shades swatched on the Darling Girl eyeshadow primer.

Wild Hearts

light lilac pink matte

Wild Hearts is a soft pink with purple undertone matte. It reminds me of Meow from the Kat Von D Pastel Goth palette except it has a lot more pigmentation.

Dark Desire

deep matte black

Dark Desire is a perfect matte black eyeshadow. It’s not too pigmented, it’s not fallout prone. It’s got just the right amount of pigmentation to make it easy to deepen a color or use as a liner. It’s my favorite black eyeshadow that I’ve used recently.

Clandestine

matte robin’s egg blue

Clandestine is a light turquoise blue matte.

Indecent Proposal

matte warm rose

Indecent Proposal is a rosy brick shade with orange undertones. It looks like it might be a dupe for the upcoming Kat Von D Lolita Eyeshadow / Blush.



Love Drug

matte charcoal grey

Love Drug is a beautiful slightly deeper than midtone grey matte. I’m a huge fan of grey eyeshadow and think it’s gorgeous.



Wicked Ways

midnight teal matte

Wicked Ways is a slightly deeper than midtone teal matte. And for some reason it makes me think of the Chris Isaak song Wicked Game.



Sweet Surrender

midtone matte lavender

Sweet Surrender is a lavender purple matte. It reminds me of Kat Von D Dope from the Pastel Goth palette.

Afternoon Delight

bright plummy pink with a matte finish

Afternoon Delight is a bright pink with a purple undertone matte.

Row 1 – Love Drug – Wicked Ways – Sweet Surrender – Afternoon Delight

Row 2 – Indecent Proposal – Clandestine – Dark Desire – Wild Hearts

The Darling Girl MILF Matte I’d Like to Find eyeshadow formula is a great loose matte formula. The colors are easy to work with. They blend out without issue. They have good pigmentation but not too much pigmentation. You can blend them out if you make a mistake. You only need a little bit of the black to deepen a shade.

Colors of the Month & Others

No Tea No Shade

No Tea No Shade is a GWP shade. It looks like a brown taupe to me with multi-colored sparkle. The top photo was taken inside in indirect light. The bottom photo was taken under studio lights.

Pink Sugar

Pink Sugar is a GWP shade. It’s kind of a nude pink-peach with golden sparkle. The top photo was taken inside in indirect light. The bottom photo was taken under studio lights.

Tragic Death of Mr. Stay Puft

light toasted tan with a hint of blue, red and gold iridescence just like the adorable toasted villain we loved.

Tragic Death of Mr. Stay Puft was from the Ghost Busters Who Ya Gonna Call collection. I think it’s been discontinued, which makes me sad. It’s a favored lid shade for when I need a single wash of color. It’s a light beige with a pink shift and multi-colored sparkles.

Break the Internet

midtone peachy brown matte

Break the Internet is a midtone peachy brown matte on me. I love it as a crease color for warmer looks or neutrals.

We are the Weirdos, Mister

blackened gold with color shifting holo-sparkle.

We are the Weirdos, Mister is a rich, blackened aged bronze multi-colored holo sparkle. It was a Color of the Month inspired by one of my favorite movies, the Craft. They’re talking about remaking this movie, which seems like blasphemy to me. I have little faith of them doing it right. Just like I think The Crow remake will be hard to do right.

Unicorn Frapuccino

lilac pink with blue sheen and gold blue purple sparkles

Unicorn Frapuccino is a lilac pink with a blue sheen. It also has gold, blue and purple sparkles. I mostly see the blue sheen and blue/purple sparkles when worn but my swatches picked up the gold. This is another Color of the Month. It was inspired by the Starbucks drink.

A note, on the Darling Girl website this color is spelled Unicorn Frapuccino. On my eyeshadow it’s spelled Unicorn Frappuccino. So I’m not sure which is the correct spelling for Darling Girl.

Mermaid Magic (limited edition, no longer available)

blue grey base with color shift from turquoise to violet

Mermaid Magic is such a complex color that usually has a deep teal blue base with a color shift from turquoise to blue to violet to pink. I tried to capture it all. In the indirect light shots, you can more easily see the violet-pink. I love this color to bits.

Row 1 – Pink Sugar – Tragic Death of Mr. Stay Puft – Unicorn Frapuccino – Mermaid Magic

Row 2 – Break the Internet – No Tea, No Shade – We are the Weirdos, Mister

A look with Mermaid Magic on the lid and as liner. See the details. I did a similar look with Mermaid Magic here.

I created the above look with Unicorn Frapuccino on the lid, Sweet Surrender in the crease, Wild Hearts to blend out the edges and a bit of Dark Desire to deepen Sweet Surrender at the outer v. See my tutorial.

If you’re looking for unique eyeshadows, you should check out Darling Girl. The mattes are excellent and many shades remind me of the limited edition Kat Von D Pastel Goth palette. The Colors of the Month disappear all too quick, so if you like Unicorn Frapuccino, you should snap it up.
