Definitely dark green, definitely blackened! For me, I got more of a heavy shimmer / light sparkle finish. Be aware that this is definitely blackened. Foiling leaves you with some sparkle, but almost more black than green. It makes a really gorgeous liner! I've had best results when patting this over...
There's a very faint blue-lavender duochrome to this, when applied wet. Applied dry, you get a light peach with a decent color payoff a very faint shimmer. The pigmentation level is better than it appears in my dry swatch - it just is so very close to my skintone that...
This is one of the near-duochrome colors in Silk Naturals' lineup. I have a few others: Sizzle, Jean Queen, Fairy Dust. (And then there are the ones that I unfortunately missed: Quiver and Splash.) Pop is a nice softer purple on its own, with a slight shimmer. Apply it wet,...
This color swatched just a little warmer than it appeared on Shiro's site. Shade-wise, it's right between Aromaleigh v2's Antares (medium maroon shimmer) and Aldebaran (coral-red shimmer.) It's a cool red with very faint burnt-orange undertones. It's also less metallic than I thought it would be, based on Shiro's...
I wasn't sure that I'd like this color so much, when I read the initial descriptions. I then was concerned that the sparkle would only really show up in sunlight (which doesn't make an appearance all that often in this part of the Pacific Northwest.) Then I saw some manis...
A simple shade, a really good formula. I got full coverage in two coats, it covered evenly and smoothly. It's like a slightly deeper version of Zoya's Zanna - or like a color-cross between Zanna and Zoya's Jennifer - but with a thicker (but not goopy) formula. This was actually...
The description of these shades is “jeweltone”. I tend to define jeweltone a little differently - rich, deep, and clear color. About half of these are what I personally would call “jeweltone”, the other half are richer shades, but either muted or “heathered” (laced with grey). They’re describes as...
Four waterproof shimmering cream shadows, in miniature size. The shadows contain Amazonian clay, which is supposed to have excellent oil absorbing properties…but I’ve seen Tarte go on and on about Amazonian-clay this and that until I’m ready to scream. ANY product that contains clay is going to...
A medium-deep moss green with strong blue tones (and undertones) with a shimmer finish. The visual texture of this color, as well as the richness of the shade, are what really make this shade stand out. It doesn't stain the skin, but like some blackened eyeshadows, it can take a...
Medium-light amount of shimmer with a good color payoff. The color is a bit darker on application than it is in the pot. That could possibly be countered a little by applying it atop a bright or white shadow base. The pigmentation level is good. I had some initial hopes...
