Clionadh Glisten Iridescent Glitter Multichrome Eyeshadow ($7.75 for 0.05 oz.) has a transparent base with a sparkling, multichrome finish that shifted from cooler lavender to warmer lavender to pink. Per the brand, it shifts from "violet-pink-orange-gold." I found "orange-gold" to be difficult to detect, whether in photos or in person, so it was more violet-to-pink where the pink went cooler to warmer at most.
The consistency felt more loosely-pressed into the pan, which was as expected based on the formula, so it worked best with a lighter hand to pick up product and then pressed onto the lid for initial application to minimize fallout. The brand recommends using fingertips or a wet brush (instead of a dry brush), which is accurate in my experience, though I found a dry brush to be totally workable if one doesn't mind light fallout/clean-up. It had good pigmentation in a single layer that stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me.

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.
