BareMinerals’ Panache

BareMinerals’ Panache

Posted on Monday, at

Such a great color! It's a duochrome, but you can minimize the blue duochrome flash if you apply it dry. Unlike some other duochromes, and much like Aromaleigh v1's Orinoco, it does have a decent amount of pigmentation to it, but it can be sheered down easily enough. I...

Meow Cosmetics’ Cat Burglar

Meow Cosmetics’ Cat Burglar

Posted on Sunday, at

A gorgeous forest green - the color shade (and payoff!!) are actually a bit similar to MAC's Dark Envy fluidline. I finally got this color (and many of the others from the Feliners collection) this past month, when the announcement of the size-change was finally posted on the site. This...

Pearl and light-shimmer finish eyeshadows. Color payoff varies between semisheer and opaque - a few that have a heavier color payoff (similar to many of the Feliners), but most are about a 3.5 opacity. When I first began buying from Meow, these colors were exclusively sold in 10-gram jars ($10.25 for 2 grams.)...

Silk Naturals’ Groove

Silk Naturals’ Groove

Posted on Sunday, at

I'm a sucker for iridescent or duochrome shades. Groove is part of a line of colorchanging shades from Silk Naturals - sadly, some of them are no longer available (Splash and Quiver in particular!!) This color is rather sheer, it doesn't work too well as a standalone shade if you're...

This is a lovely color with a great sparkle finish, but it's not very pigmented (even for a BE eyeshadow) and it seems to not want to stay put very long, even with a primer. Still…the shade is gorgeous. It's well paired with Panache eyeshadow, though it could also...

Meow Cosmetics’ Feliners collection

Meow Cosmetics’ Feliners collection

Most of these are matte, but some have a degree of sparkle or shimmer - especially the newer colors. Pigmentation and color payoff are generally stronger than the IdealEyes, ModernEyes, or CatEyes; but not all of the Feliners are 100% opaque. A few (a very few) are about on par with...

Meow Cosmetics’ ModernEyes collection

Meow Cosmetics’ ModernEyes collection

Not a large collection, but some nice colors. A few of these were a little less pigmented than I expected, and one or two didn’t have the color complexity I believed they’d have, based on the descriptions; but most that I purchased were okay. Of Meow’s “regular-line”...

BareMinerals’ Magnifique

BareMinerals’ Magnifique

Posted on Sunday, at

It's almost too dark to use as an all-over color, unless you're going for a smokey eye. It does work very well as a liner shade, though - for the exact same reason. It's mostly dark brown, with some purplish tones that aren't readily visible…but they're there. It's very...

MAC’s Imaginary paint pot

MAC’s Imaginary paint pot

Posted on Friday, at

I really love this color! It's a deep muted indigo-navy cross, with a very very slight amount of blackening. It reminds me of Delft's emo cousin. There's a very very very small amount of shimmer, and I didn't get it applied evenly for this photo - but with a color...

Lost in Makeupland’s But I Like It blush

Lost in Makeupland’s But I Like It blush

Posted on Friday, at

One of the most pigmented blushes in LiM's lineup. Also currently the only non-soft color, in that it isn't pink or peach. I like it because it adds just a tiny bit more definition, and I (who generally do not like “contouring” shades because I always over-apply them) can use...
