Kaleidoscope

Clionadh Kaleidoscope Glitter Multichrome Eyeshadow ($7.50 for 0.05 oz.) has a sheerer, pink base that shifted from greenish-aqua to bluish aqua to pink paired with smaller sparkles and a barely, metallic end. Per the model, it's imagined to shift between “lime-turquoise-blue-pink” and have a “semi-sheer” base.

The bottom was semi-sheer to medium, however there was a lot shimmer/sparkle in it, that it was laborious to inform simply how pigmented the bottom was as a result of the tip product was largely opaque to opaque to my eye. The consistency felt extra loosely-pressed however very easy, finely-milled, and held collectively higher on my pores and skin than I’d anticipate primarily based on the warning by the model.

Formulation Overview

The formulation is meant to "apply comparatively straightforward to the lid when patted on with a finger," however for "most longevity and depth, apply over a set primer" or a "cheesy base" for "larger-particle glitters." The model goes on to remain that this formulation will be utilized with "your finger or a shader brush sprayed with setting spray" after which patted onto the lid. In addition they warn to not "dig" one's brush as they're "extra delicate" in texture.

The bottom pigmentation diversified from shade to shade, and the model makes use of totally different particle sizes all through the vary, so some are finer and extra pigmented and others could also be extra sparkly with a sheerer base. Take into accout, the bottom being sheerer would not equate to a sheerer finish product; the precise eyeshadows usually appeared largely opaque to opaque because of how packed they're with shimmer/sparkle--but it relied on the angle.

They find yourself being a bit extra like conventional eyeshadow, for the reason that bases have numerous colours (not black or clear) with multichromatic shifts that diversified from extra intense to subtler. I felt like they have been "simpler" to make use of than the Jewelled Multichromes, particularly for those who're somebody who makes use of various shades at a time, although they've much less of a high-shine end and extra of a twinkling/glowing end.

The feel was extra loosely-pressed--definitely "delicate" as indicated by the brand--and labored greatest by patting or urgent onto the lid with a fingertip or a moist brush. They're nonetheless fairly usable with a dry brush however positively use a denser brush and a delicate urgent movement to select up product. The feel itself was very gentle, nearly silky, and finely-milled; for has twinkling because the end was, Clionadh's thought of "glitter" is extra like positive sparkle.

The massive distinction with this formulation is that the sheerer base makes them simpler to sheer out for an all-over wash of shade on the lid or subtle on the forehead bone, however they may also be pressed into place with out heavy mixing for an intense, highlight impact.

Whereas setting spray or glitter glue would assist to maximise longevity (by minimizing fallout over time), there was solely gentle some fallout over time when pressed onto the lid with a fingertip and slight fallout utilized with a dampened brush (moist with water) over eight to 9 hours. The sparkles have been finer and had higher adhesion to reveal pores and skin, so the formulation did not want probably the most intense answer to reduce fallout in my expertise.

Per the model, it's imagined to shift between “blue-indigo-violet-pink” and have a “sheer” base. That sheer base was extra obvious on the edges of the swatch, however relying on the angle, the shimmer/sparkle shifting may end up in opaque protection as the tip consequence. It was additionally m ore readily sheered out for a wash of shade, after which that “sheer” base actually was seen.

The consistency was extra loosely-pressed however felt very gentle, easy, and silky–it was finely-milled and Clionadh’s thought of glitter is extra like positive sparkle.
