It took me a while to start using these. I first tried them two years after their initial release! I like the matte finish, the thicker-liquid consistency, and the blendability window that (for me) lasts 30 - 60 seconds after application. I’m less fond of the doefoot applicator, but it’s...
One of the highlighter-shadows from Shiro’s summer collection. This is a barely-warm neutral where, if you want it less shimmery and looking less like beach sand under full sun, you can buff down the shimmer and still retain the color.
I thought this was going to be a little more of a deeper red-rose, but this is more “cool red” than “rose.” It’s just barely light enough for me to wear easily and comfortably. (I have never been overly fond of wearing bold lip colors.) The coverage is good,...
Compared to other multichrome eyeshadows, the shift is really very minor. It can go from deeper emerald to a near-yellow when the light is at the right angle. That said, it’s a lovely metallic green…but unless you absolutely have to have this exact shade of green, you can...
