Chroma Light Shadow (016, Born to be)

Lovely - a relatively sheer base color with cool blue sparkles mainly plus a bit of subtly iridescent ones too. Smooth, sparkly.

A nice way to introduce warmer colors to eye looks - I like how the color, while overall looking like gold, leans a bit amber/orange. I think this color could work well for outfits that are a warm toffee brown, orange, red-brown, red, yellow, - a range. There's no shift or multicolor sparkle happening in this shade, but it's all focused on that warm amber-honey color, which in and of itself, is lovely, and it's plenty sparkly.

One of my favorite eyeshadows

Smooth, sparkly, sheer. The main glitter color seems to be cool green sparkles atop a sheer base, but there's some subtle iridescent sparkles too - when the light is at an indirect angle, you can see a bit of pink and light blue sparkles, but the cool green is the main sparkle color you see most of the time/when light is more head-on. It's a nice little magical, sparkly touch. Tip: this shade in my view does look pretty similar to Aquamarine in that they both have a pretty sheer base color, meaning you get a swipe of glitter mainly, and both have cool greenish sparkles. The difference is that Aquamarine is just a tiny bit cooler in color, its glitters are slightly bigger (and therefore more glittery), monochromatic, rougher, and scattered; and Opal Gazed is smoother (and therefore more of a shimmery sparkle), more even, and slightly multicolored. But from far away, they look quite similar, so I would maybe pick one unless you do want both!

Aquamarine is a very pretty color. A few things about it: it feels a bit less smooth and slightly more crumbly than some of the other shades, and I think it's probably in part because the glitters for this one are very slightly bigger than some other shades I have. It does have a pretty translucent base color, which means that it ends up looking quite similar to Opal Gazed, but the aqua color does come through in the color of the glitters themselves, rather than in an eyeshadow cream base color. So Aquamarine makes for a sheer, subtle, sparkly way to wear that color, or you could layer/combine it with other aqua eye products to bring out that color more. Differences between Opal Gazed and Aquamarine: both have a cool greenish sparkle color, but Aquamarine is a tiny bit cooler; Opal has a little bit of other iridescent sparkles as well, but is dominated by that cool green sparkle, while Aquamarine is just that green-blue sparkle only. Opal has finer glitter particles, which make for a smoother, more even application and a bit of a wet/shimmer look, while Aquamarine has very slightly bigger and more scattered particles, which make for more of a glitter-forward look. I would suggest picking one to start with because they look quite similar from far away, unless you do care about those subtle differences.
