    Phoebe Clone
    The original color is deceptively purple in the pot, but when applied dry has a gray-blue smoky undertone. Used wet, it is intensely purple. This clone mimics that smoky blueness when used dry, and also simulates the purple achieved with wet-lining.

  • 1 part Blueberry Liner Shadow
  • 1 part Grape Liner Shadow

    RSVP
  • 3 parts Warmth
  • 1 part True (from Lizmil)

    Sass

    Turquoise Sea Clone
    The dry-in-the-pot color of this clone doesn't quite appear to match the original, but when applied wet, as with a liner, and when applied dry to the skin, the color is a dead ringer. The clone has a very slight shimmer (from the Jade) that the original does not have.

    Vanilla Sugar
  • 1 part Sunshine Glimmer
  • 1 part Blaze Liner/Shadow

    Water Lily Clone
    This recipe is a joint effort between Jeri (BEFairLady) and Mary Ann (MAASMILEY). Mary Ann used the Philosophy Lift Kit scoop, but hopefully as long as you stick to 1 part "this" and 1/2 "part" that, the recipe should be the same.

  • 1/2 part Halo

    NARS Orgasm
