Sparklecrack Central’s Ares’ Poison

A combination of Poisonivy and Travel to Mars. (And see how useful it was to know the Roman name for Mars? Even more sadly, I'm not sure which helped me more - my watching Caprica, or my watching Xena and Hercules. It certainly wasn't reading all the Greek and Roman myths when I was a kid - that knowledge was there, but I wouldn't have been able to reliably state which name was from which culture. I know. I'm sad. But I'm sparkly, so there.)

Photos that show how the product actually performs...! See how I create my swatches

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.

I was a bit concerned about how this green would turn out - I knew that adding the mica would soften the green somewhat - but I think that this is also two jars of Poisonivy, one jar of Strychnine, and the Travel to Mars mica. So the name still works, since Strychnine is a poison :D At any rate, the green color payoff is really lightened here to a deep seafoam.
