Star Crushed Minerals’ Ms. Monroe

The slightly cooler of SCM’s two “Marilyn” shades. The shimmer particles are a little more visible and plentiful in this shadow, but they’re still pretty sparse.

Shiro Cosmetics’ No More

Looks like a medium-light pink, goes on…either a semisheer slightly darker pink when foiled, or a lighter cooler pink with a slight metallic finish when applied dry. It’s close to being a “plain simple pink” color, but the little twists can either be an added bonus or a...
