Shiro Cosmetics’ Mew

This color was a bit pinker than I was expecting, from the photographs. I've been looking for a good soft coral eyeshadow (I know, I'm weird), and thought that this might be it. While Mew is a nice color…it's not precisely what I was looking for.

Adhesion is excellent, and opacity is good - which is a changeup from most company's pink eyeshadows. Faint sheen finish, not really an all-out shimmer, but not just a straightforward “oh it's another one” pink. There's a slight coral tone to it, so if you adamantly don't like how warm pinks and reds look with your skintone, you might want to choose a different color. If you're fine with neutral pinks, though, or just want to move outside your comfort zone, this is a good choice.

NOTE: This color was discontinued in 2012.
