Kaleidoscope

Makeup Geek Kaleidoscope Pigment ($12.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "slate blue base with pink, purple, and teal reflects." It's a dirty gray with lighter blue, green, pink, and silver metallic shimmer. It had a lot going on, but it looked almost muddied when applied and blended on the skin, so I think it is one that would really benefit from being layered over some sort of base color. It had semi-sheer coverage applied dry, and then mostly opaque pigmentation applied damp. It is a more frosted texture, so it isn't quite as finely-milled as some of the range, but it isn't chunky and is fairly blendable on the lid. The color started to crease after eight hours of wear.
