Iridescent shade eyeshadows?

Post by frckls » Sat Jan 28, 2012 2:01 pm

I'm looking for something with Adorn's effect for highlighting, not only the brow bone but also the nose bridge and cupid's bow and upper cheekbones. I want to have a highlighting alternative to lavender/lilac-ish interference.
It has to be sheer enough, or at least the base color must be easily blended to my skin tone so only the effect shows up (I'm NC25, FYI). Pretty much like Adorn is.

I don't want shimmer, i'm looking something with iridescent effect instead.
e.g. Sonic falls as shimmery to me, and not for everyday highlighting IMO.

Does anyone how Homecoming Queen, Fire, Sprite, and Whisper compare to Adorn? Any other suggestion?

Trivia: Adorn does not fall under any category in the eye shadows page. Neither 'neutral' nor 'highlight' under the color options. And neither 'pearl' nor 'suede' nor 'shimmer' under the finish options. Strange, eh? :?: :?: :?:

Isn't Gasp has bluish iridescence? I'm now looking for the champagne one. :)

Whisper is more pinkish and very shimmery. HQ is more on the golden yellow end, and Sprite has a bit of greenish goldish tone to it. I think your best bet is Fire from that bunch. It's a beautiful and versatile color anyway, good to have.

I know this is an old thread but I just got Flattery and think it might be what you're looking for.

Thanks Feyith! But sadly, it's too pinkish on me. :(
