Clionadh Gloaming Iridescent Glitter Multichrome Eyeshadow ($21.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a sheerer, silvery base chock-full of shimmer that shifted between pink, gold, green, and mint green. It had an intense, sparkling finish and a fair amount of shine. Per the brand, it is described as having "a silvery iridescent base that reflects pink-orange-yellow-lime." I'd agree with this description of the shifts, and I felt like it was a fairly strong shifting shade, too.
The texture was soft, smooth, and moderately emollient, so it was thinner but had good adhesion to bare skin, which helped the product apply more evenly and minimized fallout. I'd recommend pressing/patting it into place or using a fingertip/dampened brush to really minimize fallout, though, as it was fairly sparkly. It had a sheerer base, as the finish is supposed to have, but there was a ton of shifting shimmer/sparkle, so it tended to appear rather opaque unless sheered out on purpose. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

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.
