This is a BEAUTIFUL shade its quite dark so maybe not quite the shade for shrinking violets! But, I have to say this makes an AMAZING liner its described as a black moon with silver shimmer, it really is stunning. I have seen some describe it as similar to Caviar and whilst I can see the similarities I really prefer this I have a spare of this just in case I should use it all up!

I LOVE Catwoman. It is a deeper charcoal gray blackish color with a ton of shimmer and it is so beautiful as eyeliner. To dryline, I use a smudge brush; to wetline, I use BE’s eyeliner brush. The shimmer comes out more when I wetline, but it is still a great eyeliner color for me. It gives definition without screaming “I’m wearing black eyeliner”. Plus, I like a little shimmer in my eyeliner. Me: lighter neutral Asian, BE 1.2 Fairly Light/2 Light.

BE Cat woman is a beautiful glimmer that looks shimmery black in the pot but shines a slight iridescent black emerald once it's applied. I love using this both as liner with the PD transformer and sometimes as eyeshadow too. I have dark brown eyes and the shade is extremely flattering for me. The shadow is very well milled, and gets picked up very evenly. As a liner this lasts a long time, withstanding even me running for almost an hour in humid summer heat. Definitely worth repurchasing.

By far my MOST favourite BE glimmer HANDS DOWN! Too bad this one is so hard to come by these days. :_(
This colour looks gothic black in the jar - akin to charcoal, but if you observe how the residue appears on the lid if you swirl the jar you see it has a beautiful silver shimmer.
I can make this glimmer appear subtle or more intense depending on the method of application. I find with the darker BE glimmers I get a cleaner result if I apply a colour wash with a dampened brush & then build on that dry. I find this way I don't end up with a lot of dark shimmer under my lower lids, because these pigments let's face it - can be messy until you've spent a lot of time with trial & error, getting the application just right.
This glimmer of all the dark shadows from other makeup brands I've ever tried works the best with my colouring. I get compliments everytime I wear it - & I've even worn it in daytime to work, with a very subtle application & it works beautifully. From a silvery shimmer to a deep charcoal smokey eye - you can do anything with this colour. It will take you day to night. I think if you had light coloured eyes as well - it would really make them pop. I find when I wear this people will say (usually my colleagues who aren't really paying attention to this) "OMG...I don't think I noticed you have green eyes before!" It's kind of funny but I just smile & mentally thank BE!
I can't say enough about this glimmer. It's absolutely the most gorgeous glimmer going!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :_)

Cat woman is black w/ iridescent shimmery sparkles. I love it. I use it to line my lids, layer over other colours or just to stare at in the pot because it's so darn pretty. I happen to love a lot of Bare Escentuals eye goodies and this is no exception. Cat Woman and Shu Uemura Black P 960 are the only black eyeshadows I own and all that I need to fill my Black Eye niche.

Cat Woman is a beautiful shade of sparkly black. I use it mostly as a base color for my bottom lids and then I layer light blue or slivery colors over it. It deepens the color of anything you layer over it. It's also a great liner color. One of my favo

This Glimmer is BEautiful! I absolutly love it. It is a very dark/almost black color w/microfine particles of silver/green glitter, I thought at first, what in the heck am I going to use this color for? Well it sat for about 4 days before I decided to get brave and use it. I decided it would be perfect as a liner mixed with Visine, so I made my little paste and proceeded to give myself a beautiful plum eye, as my last step, I took my BE eyeliner brush and lined my eye with Catwoman, and decided it looked great, but I knew it could look even better if I smudged it...so that is exactly what I did, I made the most beautiful smokey black/gray/plum eye. I am sure that I will be using this color alot this summer, because I got so many compliments! A great color, if you are brave enough to give it a try!

This glimmer in Cat Woman is a dark black with silver shimmer loose powder. It is a very hard color to use as a shadow cause it is so dark. Most use it as a liner and it looks fine on, like a soft black shade. But the problem is that the glimmers dont last as long as the BE liners. It faded faster than the BE liners so I was a tad disappointed!
