Meow Cosmetics’ Charm

This is almost a buff-pink. It tends to look a little crumbly or flakey even when foiled. It’s a matte, so it doesn’t look great over things like glitter glue. The formula is a little better than most Meow mattes, but it’s still not the easiest to...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Star Baker

This shade looks like it doesn’t have too much base color…or at least, its base color is very very light and minimally pigmented. I prefer using this as an inner-vee highlighter or an outer-curve accent highlighter, because there’s enough shimmer and less base shade.

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Green Chrome

Good pigmentation and color payoff! It’s a little similar to some other green shades that I have, but those other greens are satins or shimmers, not metallics.

Finger Paints’ Slate of the Art

The base color looks like wet cement - it’s a cooler, deeper grey than commonly available. In some lights it almost looks greenish. I tried another manicure with three coats, and I didn’t see a more prominent blue shimmer.

Bite Beauty’s Multistick collection

I’m not exactly first out of the gate, reviewing these. I’m not even “first out of the gate for people who don’t get early press samples.” These were out for a year and a half before I tried my first one. I got Cashew in the Champagne...

Shiro Cosmetics’ Frangipanic

This color changes character quitea bit when applied! The base color is really obscured by the finish, which is both pearl-smooth and utterly nonreflective. It’s also quite ashy-looking. It’s not really suitable for use as a liner, because even if you wanted a lighter brown, the finish lightens...

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Pink Chrome

The color isn’t quite as “tulip-pink” as it appears in the pot, but it’s a little deeper than “baby” or “ballerina” pink. The color payoff was pretty good, and there doesn’t appear to be any base blackening or white-ish base.

Zoya’s Talia

I love this shade of blue! It's saturated without being dark navy or a vivid bright.
