Editor's Review

The formula is supposed to have a "nearly transparent base" so they can be used on all skin tones (despite appearing white in the pan), and they "can be used on eyes, lips, face and body." 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 "Glitter" finish (which isn't actual, plastic PET glitter!) is more loosely-pressed in the pan, so they need to be used with a lighter hand. They can also have some fallout when used with a dry brush, which is why the brand specified to apply with a fingertip or a wet brush, though I definitely found them very usable with a dry brush (with minor clean-up of fallout required). They wore between eight and nine hours on me... Read More.

They wore between eight and nine hours on me before fading a bit.

I found that the shift wasn't as dramatic between the three described color shifts per shade (some more so than others), but they did have a dramatic shift between at least two shades.

I tried a few shades as cheek highlighters, and they applied well on cheeks and diffused readily along the edges without emphasizing my skin's natural texture. They wore between eight and nine hours as cheek highlighters as well.

Claims / Ingredients

These shadows appear white in the pan, but have intense colour shifting reflects. They have a nearly transparent base, so they work great for all skin tones. They are multipurpose and can be used on the eyes, lips, face and body. These are glitter eyeshadows, not gel-based glitters, as such they perform similarly to a standard, shimmer shadow and apply relatively easy to the lid when patted on with a finger. For maximum longevity and intensity, apply over a set primer. Larger-particle glitters work even better over a tacky base (glitter glue). You can apply them with your finger or a shader brush sprayed with a setting spray. Apply the shadow by patting it onto the lid. Don’t swipe. Because of the larger particle sizes in these shadows, you don’t have to worry about the product sealing in the pan. But this also makes them more delicate; so do not dig your brush or finger into the product roughly.

I love iridescent multichromes and own several. Compared to all of my most glittery and my shiniest eyeshadows (most of which are from Clionadh or Terra Moons), this one is the most intense. The texture is buttery but quite flaky, and WOW it’s bright. I can’t emphasize enough how reflective this one is. I see blue to green to gold to peach to orange.
