Clionadh Crown Glass Jewelled Multichrome Eyeshadow ($19.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a blackened base with a multichrome finish that shifted between navy blue, purplish-blue, brighter purple, and red. Per the brand, the shade shifts between "teal-indigo-pink-red-gold." It had a very high-shine, reflective metallic finish.
I was just barely able to detect a bit of gold--more like pink-peach--at the very, very edge of arm swatches at certain angles but less so in person. The shift on the eyes, in person, was still quite distinctive and was visually shifting from navy blue-violet-warmer purple (lower light) to more like a greenish-teal to blue to red (brighter light).
It was richly pigmented with a smooth, more cream-powder feel that was dense without being too thick or too heavy, so it picked up well with a brush and deposited even coverage to bare skin. I also didn't have issues working with it using other eyeshadows (like thinner mattes). The eyeshadow lasted well for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly on me.

These are finely milled, ultra rich pigments. They have a black base and intense colour shifting reflects. They’re packed with a high pigment concentration, so the end result is a saturated, vibrantly shifting shadow. These pigments are a new type of technology. It doesn’t behave like a typical, mica-based metallic. Apply over a dried-down primer. For optimal performance, apply over an unset primer. A tacky base (glitter glue) can also be used, but it is not necessary. You can apply with your finger or a dense packing or shader brush, such as the ones from our Stained Glass Brush Collection. Apply with patting motions instead of swiping. You can foil the shadow while on the brush using a setting spray. We recommend using MAC Fix Plus, but any setting spray will work. This will help minimize fallout and increase intensity. These shades blend out to a black base and lose their coloured shifts when blended too much. We recommend minimally buffing the edges of the shadow with a clean brush if you wish to soften them. The greater the curvature of the surface these shadows are applied to (i.e. eyelid), the more prominent the coloured shifts will be. Thus, we recommend using a maximum of two shades on your eye to get the full payoff of each shade. These also work great over top of black eyeliner for a more “wearable” multichrome look. We recommend applying your black eyeliner first and then laying the shadow on top in a thin layer to minimize fallout. You can spray the shadow with a setting spray on your liner brush or use a mixing medium for a smoother application.
