Black Radiance Eye Shadow Quartet in Vivid Imagination and Moroccan Mix Review and Swatches

I just couldn't help myself, i had to go back to the drug store and pick up Moroccan Mix and Vivid Imagination Eye Shadow Quartet by Black Radiance. If you want my initial reactions and review of this product please check out my previous blog entry here as this one will pertain only to the color and application.

Moroccan Mix and Vivid Imagination

Back of shadow with inspiring message.

Vivid Imagination-

This quad is very unique in a lot of ways. These shades are pearlesq, have a silver microglitter in them, and the black is a matte. So you really have range. As for application they are for the daring since they come off very highly pigmented. Since these were designed for those with darker skin tones don't be shocked when you see how opaque they are on the lighter tones. My suggestions for use on lighter skin tones would be to use the pink color as your lid color, the navy blue as the crease color, yellow as your under brow color, and black as your outer corner color.

Over primer no flash. You can see how these colors are both pearlesq, glittery, and how matte the black is

Over primer and with flash.

Pink on lid, blue in crease, yellow under brow and black in corner.

Moroccan Mix-

A neutral color compared to vivid imagination. These colors i feel would look best on a woman who has darker skin tones like those from the middle east, or of Indian or African decent. When i applied it to my skin, which again is light, the colors came off pearlesq, they were very bright, and had good pigmentation. I used the gold as a lid color, the copper as a crease color, the taupe as an under brow color and the teal as an outer corner color. I love how these blended.
