Shiro Cosmetics Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles Eyeshadow A bit of light reading

From the website: Despite her Muggle birth and upbringing, she’s the cleverest witch who ever was. Amazing, brilliant, and scary. When in doubt, go to the library!

A very plush, luxurious take on Gryffindor red, like the expensive burgundy leather chairs in an exceptionally fine reading nook. Lip-safe!

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

Personal Comments: On my eyes, this reads as a beautiful warm chocolate brown with a soft sheen to it. The edges blended out really well while maintaining pigmentation and the fallout was pretty minimal.

Shiro Cosmetics Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles Eyeshadow Dark and Light inside us

From the website: “What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”

Warm deep wine-purple base with a golden-bronzey-brown shift. Bears a bit of a family resemblance to Bellatrix but is altogether less cold. Not lip-safe.

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, magnesium myristrate, ultramarines.

Personal Comments: To my eyes, this looks like a deep, slightly purple-toned brown with copper and light green shimmers. The shimmers disappeared when I blended it, so it functions like a satin finish. It dropped a bunch of fallout, both base color and shimmer, so make sure to do your eyes before your base when using this!

Shiro Cosmetics Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles Eyeshadow If you've got enough nerve

From the website: Anything is possible – and if you try to tell her otherwise, you’re liable to get hit with a nice bat bogey hex.

Intense, smoldering metallic copper-orange with slightly brighter coppery glitter. Lip-safe!

Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, magnesium myristrate, copper powder, silicion dioxide.

Personal Comments: What a beautiful color! Over primer, this appears as a burnt red shade with a moderate red-copper shift. Fallout was fairly low. It took a bit of extra work to blend this one out, but nothing dealbreaking. I really like this shade!

Shiro Cosmetics Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles Eyeshadow That's Chess

From the website: Brave, loyal, and ever self-sacrificing – even if he does have the emotional depth of a teaspoon. That’s our Won-Won!

Lightly metallic golden tan overlaid on a deep base of Gryffindor crimson. Lip-safe!

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

Personal Comments: In the sample bag this appears to be a deep brown-leaning red, but once I put it on my eyes over primer it looks like a lightly metallic bronze! It catches the light nicely, especially considering how deep the color is. No issues with this shade, it performed and blended well.

Shiro Cosmetics Marauders, Mugwumps, and Muggles Eyeshadow The Boy Who Lived

From the website: Pure of heart, guarded by love, master of Death, way too overpowered at Quidditch tho seriously that’s gotta stop

Pure smooth charcoal with Gryffindor-worthy sheen: a heart of warm red and bright flecks of gold. Lip-safe!

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

Personal Comments: Kristin's beautiful swatches make this look pretty opaque but when I was testing this out on my eyes, I found it to be only moderately pigmented, but buildable. The base color reads as charcoal to me and it's got a very subtle but lovely red sheen to it, though the sheen is tough to spot on my eye, especially after blending. The shadow is a little flighty while blending in general, and it took me a couple rounds of applying and blending out to get some depth to my outer v.

I did an eye look with the five shades:




To create this look, I started with Urban Decay Primer Potion and a base shadow in my skin tone.I used A Bit of Light Reading on the lid, That's Chess in the inner corner, If You've Got Enough Nerve on the lower lashline, and Dark and Light Inside Us plus The Boy Who Lived to deepen the outer v and outer lower lashline. Mascara, tightline, brow pencil, and a nude liner in my waterline to finish.
