G*psy

City Color G*psy Shimmer Shadow ($6.99 for 0.129 oz.) is a medium-dark, warm-toned purple with reddish tones and a pearly sheen. It had great color payoff with a soft, smooth, and blendable texture that wasn't quite as dense as other shades--somewhere between the cream-like feel of formulas like the Shimmer Shadow and traditional powder eyeshadow. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours on me. MAC Frizzyplum (LE, $17.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). Viseart Bijoux Royal #5 (LE, ) is lighter, warmer (90% similar).
