Fyrinnae’s Shinigami

A really gorgeous dark violet color with indigo sparkle. The color really does look best wet - applied dry over primer, you see a bit of the blackened purple, but almost none of the sparkle finish. I do kind of like that the color has two distinct “personalities”, though - I feel like I got two colors instead of one! The foiled application reminds me a bit of Concrete Minerals' Seance, but with blue sparkle instead of gold; and a bit more of a blue tone to the purple.

A montage of three images: top left, close-up of the eyeshadow in the pot; top right, the eyeshadow mixed with water and applied to bare skin; bottom left, the eyeshadow applied dry over primer.
Applied dry, this does make an excellent liner. Just be careful about fallout, during application, or transfer - especially if you have hooded eyes, like me. If you want to use this as a liner, it might be best to just tightline it wet. You can also use the trick I discovered: apply something like Fyrinnae's Pixie Epoxy with an eyelining brush right along the lash line, then gently pat the color atop that. The eyeliner will stay in place for the whole day, it won't dust off on the rest of your eye makeup, and it'll be just slightly brighter and retain a little bit of the blue sparkle finish. (I don't like how my eyelids feel when I apply Pixie Epoxy over the whole lid. I also don't like how I have a lot more trouble blending my eyeshadow. It works great for an eyeliner base / sealant, though...)
