Shiro Cosmetics’ Huge Success

A very bright silver, almost more of a dulled silver-white rather than a “grey”. The sparkle is a bit more subtle than in Whitewedding or Whiteriot, but it's definitely there. I like the coverage better when applied dry, than when applied wet. The eyeshadow looks smoother. There are the faintest cool tones in this color, but it's not a blue-silver, just a cooler grey.

This isn't necessarily a unique color, but it's a better-than-average version of the color. Where some other companies' silver-grey is more sheer, or applies very patchy, Huge Success' pigmentation level is fairly solid and the shadow provides even coverage.

This shadow was discontinued in early 2012, and I picked up a few jars from the Discontinued page of the site - so I got this for slightly below retail. (I just had to have more of this collection, once I learned that some of the shades were being discontinued. It's the completist in me.)
