Note: Trying out a new swatch style. Let me know what you think in the comments! Do you prefer the old style? Any suggestions for improvement?

From the website: A complex and unique blend – looks coppery in the jar, then applies as tarnished gold and silver shimmer over a blackened background. 

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

Lip-safe!

Personal Comments: From the Fullmetal Collection. A satin grey with a bit of a green note and a coppery highlight. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Medium near-matte taupe. 

Eye Shadow Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, zinc oxide, methicone.

Lip-safe!.

Personal Comments: From the Seven Kingdoms Collection. Pretends to be a matte without a glitter fixative but over this definitely has a shimmer to it. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Gold-burnished plate cloaked in ashy white. 

Eye Shadow Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, bronze powder, silica, zinc oxide, methicone.

Lip-safe!

Personal Comments: From the Seven Kingdoms CollectionThis is one of my all time favorite Shiro shadows. Maybe even one of my overall favorites. On bare skin, this shade looks almost grey in a soft way but there's a strong gold note that comes out over any kind of fixative. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

From the website: Blackened green of House Baratheon, shining with the red light of R’hllor. 

Eye Shadow Ingredients: mica, carnauba wax, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, copper powder, silica, chromium oxide.

Not lip-safe.

Personal Comments: From the Seven Kingdoms Collection. A deep forest green with a red shimmer. Applied over Urban Decay Primer Potion and Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy. This picture was taken outside in natural light.

    1. Thanks for the feedback!

      I'll admit, these particular shadows are great to show off the difference in base since they're so complex. I'm not sure the contrast will be so severe with most other eyeshadows but probably at least the ones with a color shift.
