Formula Overview
$14.00/0.05 oz. - $280.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have more "depth" in the "base tone" and specifically designed to work for deeper skin tones in the way that the more transparent Iridescent Multichrome finish does. They are supposed to have a "tanned base."
While other Multichromes may require more specific application or technique, the brand says that this formula can be used "the same way you would" apply any "highlight or shadow."
The consistency has a denser, smoother feel that wasn't too firm, so I had no trouble picking up product with eyeshadow or highlighter brushes (without having to wet the brush). The product applied evenly, had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable coverage, and was blendable. Some of the shades with larger shimmer/sparkle had light fallout during application. They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading a bit.

All of these look wonderful, but I didn’t put any of the 3 on my WL, though. Down the road, perhaps Auric because it looks more like a duochrome that is suitable for any venue.
Jussi (male dachshund. His whole name still translates as Jack Sparrow…) gave his seal of approval. I left the post open. Upon returning, I saw a big US flag withe caption Clionadh ships to the United States. Wonder which shades he intended to order? Personally, I never cease to be amazed by all of these C and TM multichromes. Also wonder what e/s will be like in the future. The technology to create these artistic visions seems so advanced, I think this must be the zenith of the art.
I think about this too, because I can’t imagine any other textures of makeup that would be so beautiful (other than holographic makeup, as in filters of real holograms over our face that look like we’d be wearing real makeup, but we wouldn’t be and we could change it at a whim).
I really like Auric – quite fond of that peachy shimmery shade.
Cerulean!!!!! Ahhhh!!! I don’t know when, but I will have to find a time to buy my first Clionadh eyeshadows and this one will be on the list.
