Clionadh Glimmer Iridescent Multichrome Eyeshadow ($7.75 for 0.05 oz.) has a transparent base with a lot of sparkling shimmer that shifted from bright, icy blue to purplish-blue to warmer, pinky-lavender paired with a more sparkling sheen. Per the brand, it is supposed to shift from "blue-indigo-violet." The shift was definitely apparent in person with little contortion necessary to detect--I could clearly see it going from really cool, lighter blue to warmer lavender.
The brand noted that this particular shade should be applied like their Glitter Multichromes: that they should be applied with fingertips or a wet brush, patted on the lid, and that they are "more delicate." I found all of these to be true; the more sparkly texture felt thinner and more emollient compared to other shades in the formula, but I noticed that a brush was very quick to pick up product so a lighter hand was better to avoid over-loading one's brush. If I wasn't careful to use a lighter hand, there was light to moderate fallout during application--to that end, I'd also suggest using pressing/patting motions for initial application of the product.
It had semi-opaque color coverage that read more "opaque" when applied as it was very reflective and shiny with twinkling sparkle. The product applied more smoothly and evenly when used with a fingertip or a flatter, dampened brush over a dry brush as well. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours with light fallout over time.

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 apply the same way you would any standard highlight or shadow, so you can apply using your preferred method. They work great for transforming other eyeshadow shades when applied on top. They also make for fun lip-toppers. Apply to the inner corner of an eye look and/or on the brow bone to brighten up any look. For an even more intense highlight, pick the product up on your brush and then spritz it lightly with setting spray before applying.
