Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Almost Quiet

This was described as being a bit more bronzey. I don’t see that in this shade. It’s an almost-mustardy yellow that I can wear as a gold-leaning brown. It also looks a little dusty when applied dry.

Color Club’s Don’t Kale My Vibe

Not too much colorshifting in this one. There’s some, but it’s fairly faint. For the most part, this is a midtone metallic green. The copper and pink are faint, and appear as “suggestions” rather than strongly visible shifts in the color. (I saw more colorshift in my photos,...

Dawn Eyes Cosmetics’ Chrome collection

This is an older collection, described as having some colorshifting properties. The finishes are almost uniformly smooth metallic, and I do see a little bit of colorshifting in some of the shades, but I don’t see strong multichrome or even always duochrome properties. The ones I thought I’d...

Everyday Minerals’ My Place

The pearl finish blocks most of the underlying base color. This works best with an extremely subtle look, where some brightening is needed but no shimmer or sparkle need apply.

Shiro Cosmetics’ Two Hands Means Two Mugs of Cocoa

Good lighter-weight neutral with minimal shimmer, if any. When using as an eyeshadow, it doesn’t love blending too much, so the other shade(s) will have to be the better blenders. As a face color, for me (NC20/NC25 ish) it works nicely as a very subtle contouring shade...

RIP foiling brush

Up until now I’ve had one brush for dry application, one for foiling, and one for heavier swatches of blushes and highlighters. (That last is the only brush-type that I don’t use in regular application. I wanted to better show the color in the swatch.) I’ve been...

ColourPop’s Lippie Stix in Cookie

Shiro Cosmetics’ I Feel Like Dancing

This color was exlusive to Femme Fatale. It’s a softer shade with a pretty strong interference shimmer layer that shows up best only at certain lights, but not really at all when the color is applied dry.

My Pretty Zombie’s 43

MPZ’s 2017 anniversary color. I think that this is mostly the interference color - which is pretty strong.

CND’s Vinylux Radiant Chill (260)

Not quite a rose-gold…it’s just barely not red enough. But it’s in the ballpark. The formula is fairly good, but it’s also a little thick. It shows streaks and wouldn’t spread evenly. This is an absolutely fantastic color (and formula) for nail stamping.
