Clionadh Opulent Glitter Multichrome Eyeshadow ($7.50 for 0.05 oz.) has a reddish-plum base with warmer undertones paired with flecks of sparkle that shifted from soft orange to gold to greenish-gold to green. Per the brand, it shifted from "orange-gold-green-turquoise." The turquoise part was really hard for me to capture as it was at the very extreme end of the shift; I could just barely detect it in person. I found that this shade seemed more complex with some contrasting shimmer/sparkle at all angles.
The texture was smooth to the touch, dense and had some glide to it, but it felt more loosely-pressed and fragile that I would recommend using a lighter hand when picking up product to avoid excess product getting loosened. The actual powder wasn't powdery, as if anything was excess, it was more in a smaller "chunk" of product than dust (more typical of a "powdery" product).
A fingertip and a dampened brush applied the product with a smooth, even lay down of opaque coverage in a single layer that had very minimal fallout, and these were the methods recommended to use with this formula. I still tried it out with a dry brush, which worked well for picking up, applying, and blending out color with more precision than I'd get with a fingertip but had some fallout (as expected). It wore nicely for nine hours before fading visibly but had a touch of fallout over time if I didn't use it with a setting spray.
