    I like to line my eyes with Contrast and use Quite Natural on my lids. Most reviewers seem to use it with grays but for my brown eyes it is a perfect look with Quite Natural. I use Shroom as a...

    I love this shade! Definitely much more intense and shimmery than shown on the site, it's a rich shimmery cobalt blue. I layer it over either a waterproof black e/l and smudge, then go over the...

    I think this is a great eyeshadow as a crease color, it's a mixture between purple and blue

    I adore this eyeshadow! It's the most gorgeous deep navy blue. I use it with black and greys for a sexy smokey blue look. One reviewer suggested trying it with Patina and she was right! It looks...

    I use this as a crease color. I love it with Patina e/s! Looks amazing together. I too find myself having to pack on the color, but I don't mind cause when you get it right, it looks gorgeous!

    Contrast is a velvet finish shadow with shimmer. The texture of it is so smooth and it's very easy to blend. Since it's so easy to blend and it's so pigmented you dont need to pick up very much on...

    I'm not a fan of this ONLY because it's not easy to apply. I find that I have to swipe this on my brush several times and even then, it doesn't apply as dark as I'd like. It's just not pigmented...

    What a great shadow, although it may seem intimidating at first, try to experiment with it. I first fell in love with it when I saw Kim Kardashian wearing it in a makeup tutorial she did. She said...

    Such a pretty dark blue color, with just the right about of sparkle...but I couldn't get this shadow to stay on me no matter what I tried. It also wouldn't apply evenly, no matter what kind of...

    This is the perfect navy liner shadow. I have tried many different navy liners and nothing comes close to this shade. It looks great in the crease as well and adds pizzaz to grey smokey eyes,...

    Like most of the reviewers, I use this as a liner, I haven't tried it full-on as a shadow. It's really nice, deep navy blue with a touch of purple.
