Clionadh Gleam Iridescent Glitter Multichrome Eyeshadow ($10.50 for 0.05 oz.) has a more translucent base with multichromatic shifting shimmer/sparkle that went between cooler pink, warmer pink, orange, and yellowy gold. Per the brand, it is described as having "a translucent base that reflects pink-orange-yellow." This felt like an accurate representation of the shifts, which I was able to see with ease.
The texture was smooth, lightly emollient to the touch, and more loosely-pressed into the pan, so a lighter hand and pressing motion was best for picking up product without over-applying. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that could be sheered out for more of a wash of shimmer/sparkle if desired. There was a touch of fallout during application, but the product stayed on well for eight and a half hours after that.

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.
