Hey everyone! I'm waiting on some good swatching weather (gotta work on that new Shiro Harry Potter collection!!) as well as an order from a new-to-me indie brand, so for now I'm going to show you a few eye looks I haven't shared here yet. Please note I did all these looks over UDPP and a base shadow in my skin tone, and wrapped them up with mascara, tightline, and sometimes brow pencil.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure: All products purchased except Monster Blood, which was a freebie with my paid Femme Fatale order.
Shadows: Little Sparrow Toasted Marshmallow, Detrivore Grave Digger (pre-Shiro distribution), Embalm (post-Shiro distribution), Femme Fatale Monster Blood, Femme Fatale Silver Apple (over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy)
Comments: Halo eyes forever! I really need to spend more time with my Little Sparrow mattes because I remember Toasted Marshmallow performing nicely. The Femme Fatale shadows are as gorgeous as expected, though it takes a sticky base for the blue shift on Silver Apple to really stand out.

Shadows: Blackbird Thirteen, Dim Tradition, Fire Pledge, Atlas (all loose shadows), Shiro Curaga
Comments: I followed this YouTube tutorial from my hooded eye idol and all around fabulous artist, Rebecca Shores. I've talked about Blackbird's beautiful mattes at length and I still really enjoy them. Doing this look reminded me I need to place an order for (more) pressed Blackbird shadows, and I am so overdue to try their recently released blush collection!

Shadows: Femme Fatale Grave Moss (this is the main lid color), Shiro Sepulchre by the Sea, Femme Fatale Enchant-Mint, Shiro The Last Unicorn highlight, Detrivore blushes in Lilith and Concubine
Comments: Oh my gosh, if you have brown eyes I can't encourage you enough to pick up Grave Moss as soon as possible. I was obsessed with how nice it made my eye color look. I didn't see much of the pink sparkles in Enchant-Mint over just primer; I suspect they'll need a sticky base to really show up. I used The Last Unicorn as my inner corner highlight, and I think I'll be primarily using it this way because it set off the cool-toned look really nicely. Sepulchre by the Sea is gorgeous but had quite a bit of fallout - this is another one that's on its best behavior over a sticky base, as you'll see in the next look.

Shadows: Shiro Sepulchre by the Sea (over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy), Femme Fatale The Nightmare (also over FPE), Shiro Yzma's Essence of Llama, Shiro Ziggy, DreamWorld Black Flamed Candle
Comments: There we go, this is Sepulchre by the Sea at its best. You may be able to see here that it's got a ton of tiny green and purple sparks which give it a ton of dimension over the Pixie Epoxy, but unfortunately it loses most of that over just primer. Black Flamed Candle is a really beautiful color with a lovely shiny finish but it had a little less impact than I wanted over just primer (it's in my inner corner here). I'll have to play with it more before coming to any conclusions but this may be another one that performs best over a sticky base.
