Hady's Ma.Nish.Ma Pop Art Eye Shadow in Cerulean Blue and Alizarin Crimson

During a quick trip to Rite Aid i spotted an obscenely bright display with eyeshadow I've never seen before. Hedy's Ma.Nish.Ma Pop Art Eye Shadow combines two colors into one shadow. It looks as though one shadow was splattered on to another. I thought this was so cute i had to pick up two just to try.

Alizarin Crimson-
This color was my first choice! A hot pink imposed on a bright blue. Yes please! I like the pigmentation but i have to say i was hoping that this would be a matte shadow (the finish is satin). The blue color comes off more as a dark purple, and the pink comes off true to what you see. When applying these over primer they really pop. I have not yet done an eye swatch but i have down a hand swatch to display the color.

I was a little disappointing to find out the pink didnt go all the way down, once i used up a small spot of the splatter the color was gone in that area. You can see the faded areas in the middle right.

Cerulean Blue-
This was my second choice only because ive seen these colors paried together a lot. The teal color is pretty pigmented and comes off pearlesq while the black is a little more matte. When mixed together these colors create a really pretty dark pearlesq green. I think this color when combine would make a great green smokey eye. Just like with the above color i am disappointed that the splattered drops of teal do not go all the way down, they are only on the surface.
