I love highlighters and “effects colors” like this one that are actually opaque. It gives me the option to use them as standalone shades. There's a faint gold shimmer to this that's only really visible as an iridescent shimmer, when the light hits it at just the right angle. Unlike...
I was expecting another creme, but this one has a faintly metallic finish. The application is a little less even than the creme smudge sticks, but it's much better than other metallic eyeshadow pencils, from Stila or from other brands.
When these “pro” paint pot colors began filtering into the regular MAC lineup, I was interested…but waited for swatches to show up online. Paint pots are great; but they're expensive, and if there's a Color Tattoo that's similar enough in shade, I prefer to go with that option. Also,...

Not very pigmented, even for BareMinerals loose blushes. The satin finish is also extremely subtle. This shade will work on the palest skintones, and probably not well on folks with any golden undertones in their coloring. The one time I used this, I ended up layering a glow powder over...
Not all white eyeshadows have such solid, opaque color payoff - so I'm doubly happy when I find one that does. Zero is a very strong, utterly neutral white - not cream, not buff, not a pinkish white or a bluish white, just white. It's a brighter white without being...
An attractive color with a nice shimmer. Unfortunately, the color is just a bit on the sparser side. When I foil this, I see a bit more of the blackening than I'd prefer, and perhaps less of the teal shimmer. I haven't been very happy with the results when I...
Not necessarily a completely unique green, but a lovely shade - and one of Sugarpill's better performers in the Chroma Lust (loose shadow) line.
