Supernova Glitz Shadow (003, Starbloom)

How it looks in the pan is pretty accurate to how it looks on the eyes. This shade has a golden olive hue in direct lighting/angles, and in side/other angles, you can see a more grassy green color. But I would say the primary overall color feels like a sparkly, subtly multicolored, olive hue. This color is so wearable because it mingles with the naturally warm tones in many skin tones (especially, of course, warmer skin tones), and it isn't as cool of a green as you might expect it to be, especially once you blend it out. That is a good thing in my case because I was primarily attracted to this shade for the olive tones. I also found Stellar Haze easier to work with than the shade Galaxsea, even without eyeshadow primer (I don't usually use primer and haven't tried one yet). The base color seems maybe less dark than Galaxsea's base color, as well. It's really a lovely eyeshadow overall.

Galaxsea has a dark, translucent smoky base that is kind of a black or dark navy color, with truly duochrome fine sparkles that are teal and magenta-violet. I found it a bit challenging to attempt to build up opacity or to blend edges out - it feels a bit slippery, even a bit oily, noticeably different than the texture and behavior of the Chroma Light Shadows and Lucent Cream Shadows by Moira. I find Chroma and Lucent easy to spread and blend; by contrast, I'm guessing these Supernova Glitz shadows should be tapped into place like a topper or accent glitter rather than like an eyeshadow you blend with. If I attempt to blend this formula, especially since the Galaxsea shade has a dark + sheer base, it can look slightly streaky. It's not super obvious from the photos I uploaded here, but I could definitely see it myself - it looked slightly smudgy. So next time, I'm planning to try a combo of a light primer, a brush, and not trying to drag and blend it all over, but just placing it where I want it on the lid. (So far I just tried it on my bare lid, no primer, and with my finger), The glitters are noticeably finer than Chroma and Lucent - not a bad or better thing, just creates more of a microfine sort of sparkle that can look like a sheen in indirect lighting. If you're interested in this shade because of the teal color, bear in mind that it's the glitter color and not the base color, so it's less of a teal eyeshadow than it is a teal shine on the lids (that shifts to a magenta sheen in different angles). Overall, I think it's an interesting shade. It reminds me of an oil slick or a very smoky version of a peacock's iridescence, and the strong duochrome makes this different from other blue-green shadows I have. I'll update this review if I get better results with different application techniques. On a different note, I will also say that in my experience so far (2 orders, many products), Moira has packed all my items really safely, nothing was damaged, and the customer service person who helped me was really helpful!

Beautiful

Disappointed

I love the products! Very nice quality& high pigment. I only have 1 problem with my order. I didn't receive 2 eyeshadows I ordered. 2 in the color fantasy. But I'm reordering anyway because I really like the products.
