This is almost the same shade as Concrete Minerals' Souljourner - but with a metallic finish, and with not quite as much color payoff. Souljourner would make a killer eyeliner or smokey eye. I don't know that Chaotic could be used as easily, in the same fashion. Still…it's nice...
Foiling is about the only way I can wear this color. Applied dry, it's got far too little color payoff - even if it does have a nice shimmer finish, it's the faintest whisper of blue. I am able to use this as an accent color, if it's foiled -...
I tried this one because - hey, who doesn't love a good burgundy or maroon eyeshadow? The color depth and opacity is the same whether applied wet or dry, which I count as a plus. The shimmer finish is barely visible when applied dry, so if you're looking for a...
Dry application gives me a much softer version of the color: not quite as much color payoff, a little more of the blue undertones visible. This could be used fairly easily as accent or contouring. I don't know if it could be used for a smoky eye - I think...
Either a medium-dark pink or a light pink-red…I'm not entirely sure which. The color payoff is good, but this is a lighter shade of pink/red - so it won't pack the visual punch of a color like Geisha Chrome or X-Mas Special. Good to use when a standard...
The three colors I got to preview are Everybody Knows You're Insane (metallic medium-light cerulean shimmer), Rock the Casbah (metallic old gold shimmer) and Unforgiven (cool mauve-raspberry matte).
This color applies just a little less vivid than it appears in the pot - but not that much. It's a nice brighter pink with coral tones that doesn't look to orange (some “coral” eyeshadows and blushes are less pink than apricot.) Color payoff and opacity are both good, and...
Yet another gorgeous primary shade, yet another that seems not to be carried by any of the brick-and-mortar stores that stock NYX Cosmetics - nor is it really easy to find on etailer sites any longer. I can't find any solid leads on why Hot Pink, Yellow, Orange, and Cherry...
