NOTICE: All products categorized under "Pigment" carry a warning in the US that the
product is "not intended for use in the immediate eye area." Brands in the US typically market these
products as "Pigments" (instead of "Eyeshadow"), and there is often a warning on the back of packaging or
the label. The product includes color additives that are not approved for usage on the eyes per the
FDA.
Some color additives in "Pigments" have no usage restrictions in the EU, per CosIng, and can be used on the
eyes. We recommend checking ingredients to confirm current safety assessment/restrictions:

A1 (Norvina Mini Vol. 1) is a bright, neon coral-orange with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. There was a smidgen of micro-shimmer throughout, which seemed to translate just barely when blended out--like it wasn't quite as dry-looking as other mattes in the palette. It had opaque pigmentation with a drier, lightly powdery texture with light fallout during application but blended out without difficulty. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading visibly.
