Russian term

тени и ... оттенков.

Russian to English Marketing Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting scrapbooking
In scrapbooking, the
«случайные» детали, создающие оттенки настроения.
В дело пойдут ракушки и кусочки пробки, кружева и тесьма, разноцветные пуговицы разных размеров, лоскутки, нитки и шнуры, а также бумага необычной фактуры, сетка от упаковки цветов и даже тени и глиттеры (декоративные блестки) неподошедших вам оттенков.
I need help with the last part: и даже тени и глиттеры (декоративные блестки) неподошедших вам оттенков, but I understand glitter.
Help me visualize it. Thanks!

Oooooooh! light bulb! you nailed it, Julia! thanks!

Ok, so 'the shades and glitters of hues that didn't/don't suit you'? That makes no sense. Any more explanation?
Evgeny Artemov (X) Nov 3, 2014:
Hues, perhap, yes. .
The Misha Nov 3, 2014:
I have no idea what they mean by teni here but most likely they are not shades. They are probably some premixed ready-to-use acrylic washes or something to that effect. Variations of primary and secondary colors (for the most part these are mixes of complementary colors known as semineutrals) are usually called hues. At least they are in the US artistic community.

eye shadows & colors/hues

I'm not one hundred percent sure; however, it seems to me that "тени" in this case may simply refer to eye shadows which you don't want to use as a makeup, потому что не подошли оттенки. After all, recycling is pretty common in crafts and DIY. And this quote lists various common items which can be reused, not some specialized stuff.

A quick Google search confirmed that eye shadows may indeed be used in scrapbooking - see, for example, this tutorial on Youtube:
