BareMinerals’ Satin Peach

BareMinerals’ Satin Peach

Posted on Monday, at

In the pot, this looks like a soft peach, or a washed out yellow-orange. Applied, it really softens down and shows less of the orange. I think that it may have too much actual pigmentation and orange coloring to be effective as a highlighter unless you have just the right...

MAC’s Brash and Bold pigment

MAC’s Brash and Bold pigment

Posted on Monday, at

I bought this as soon as it was available on the website, as part of the Year of the Snake collection in February 2013. Come to find out it's a repromote, and was previously (originally?) released as part of the Art Cosmetics collection in 2009! Doesn't matter much to me, though. I...

Meow Cosmetics’ Pestilence

Meow Cosmetics’ Pestilence

Posted on Sunday, at

This deep green has interesting aqua highlights and reddish undertones…but you have to pay a bit more attention to what colors you wear it with. Even using clear softer shades - not pastels, not greyed colors - which usually look excellent with jeweltones, you have to watch to make...

The duotone effects on this one are…interesting! I like the deep almost-murky green topped by pink shimmer! The pigmentation is good, and the shadow applied evenly and easily. As with all eyeshadows, if I don't wear a primer I can't get more than about 30 minutes' wear before it starts...

Beauty from the Earth’s Twister

Beauty from the Earth’s Twister

Twisters don't “growl” (another one of the bits of Extreme Dramatic License in the movie Twister), but the clouds do get this particular color of super-dark grey. This eyeshadow applies very evenly, with sparse scattered shimmer. I like how this is a deep enough color that it will easily make...

This color is attractive enough, but the application was a bit patchy. The base blue shade and the gold shimmer are pretty, and the blue is soft enough that it can be worn without looking too “60s/70s”.

One cool color included amongst all the other warm pigments in the Thrillseekers Warm Pigment kit. I'm not sure why they included this one here, but it's kind of nice that they did. The pigment has the in-vial balling that you usually see with MAC metallics or shimmers. This color...

Meow Cosmetics’ Illegal in 50 States

Meow Cosmetics’ Illegal in 50 States

Posted on Monday, at

This is an interesting color: kind of a deep mossy green that leans heavily brown. (Or perhaps vice versa.) At any rate, it's neither a green, a brown, nor a duotone. It's just…interesting. It will not look good on people who prefer warm browns, but it's easily dark enough...

A nice shade, but didn't have as much color payoff as I'd have preferred. (There must be something about yellow eyeshadows that just…sheers them out. Very few that I've tried, even the “brights”, have a good level of opacity!)

LaurEss’ Salt and Sand

Posted on Monday, at

Not quite a highlighter shade - but almost - I like using this best paired with a deep jeweltone as the outer-crease accent shade. I get a bit of pearl-shimmer finish across my lids, and the rich purple or blue accent shade. (I have to be careful about using this...
