Hey everyone! We're back for part two of our three-part spotlight on the Shiro Cosmetics Legends Collection! We looked at part one here, and I'll add a link to part three when it posts in a couple of days. You can purchase individual shadows here (or just follow the link below each shadow in this post), or you can buy the full collection for a 10% discount here.

From the website: The Gerudo King of Thieves, wielder of the Triforce of Power and some of the greatest magics Hyrule has ever witnessed. Less impressively, he is frequently defeated by a teenager in a funny hat.

Velvety black with strong dark red shimmer. Lip-safe!

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, silicon dioxide, copper powder.

Personal Comments: Like its namesake, this is an ominous color! It's a black with a strong red overlay. The black is strongest over silicone primer, but the sparkly red takes over when patted on a sticky base, as you see here.

From the website: Beautiful, sacred, and ever so edible WAIT NO DON’T EAT THAT WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU

Deep near-matte red with subtle orange sparkle. Lip-safe!

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, copper powder, silicon dioxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate.

Personal Comments: As the website descriptions says, this is a hot orange-red, very suitable for the Gorons. The sparkle is minimal enough that this could make a good custom lip color for those who want a warm red lip color without the metallic finish the glitterbombs take on.

From the website: What would you do for an extra heart?

Vivid hot pink with golden sparkle. Lip-safe!

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, red 40, silicon dioxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate.

Personal Comments: This is a bright pink-red for sure! It shows off its purple and gold sparkles over a sticky base.

From the website: It doesn’t matter how many dark lords you’ve defeated or how many realms you’ve saved. If you’re in a new location, you’re gonna have to learn how to use a sword.

Dark, near matte blue-toned forest green. Not lip-safe.

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, chromium oxide, ferric ferrocyanide.

Personal Comments: This is a gorgeous grass green with some blue sparkle, very reminiscent of Link's classic green outfit.

From the website: Taptaptaptaptapping A as fast as you can to get through this useless speech- HEY LET’S HEAR IT AGAIN forget it I’m going outside.

Delicate shimmery taupe over a medium brown base. Lip safe!

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide.

Personal Comments: This is a beautiful silvery-tan taupe, and it goes nearly metallic over a sticky base. I suspect my fellow pale people would really enjoy this as a crease color!

From the website: The Spiritual Stone of the Forest, last gift of the Great Deku Tree. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

Muted green-gold with light shimmer. Not lip-safe.

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, chromium oxide.

Personal Comments: This is another lovely green, lighter and more yellow-toned than Hero of Ages as the gold peeks through. It goes pretty shiny over a sticky base.

From the website: Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah! I may be 32, but I still believe I am a fairy.

Satiny peach with green and red sparkles. Lip safe!

Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, silicon dioxide, calcium aluminum borosilicate.

Personal Comments: I dislike this shade on principle, because I've always considered Tingle to be the Jar Jar Binks of the Zelda universe. That said, the color itself is a lovely, sparkly peach which I bet could double as a great lip color or blush.
