    I'll join the chorus of people who LOVE this gorgeous color but hate the patchy finish. The color is a beautiful deep indigo with turquoise-y/lavender glitter. It looks amazing in the pan but...

    The colour is nice but I don't like the finish. The velvet shadows do not go on very well I notice . I would not buy this again.it doesn't blend very well.

    Contrast is so gorgeous. A deep, dark blue-violet (mostly blue) that is absolutely stunning as a liner and a not-black smokey eye. I wore it smudged out with Scene blending it into Electra and it...

    This is my favourite dark eyeshadow - it's perfect for smokey looks or as an eyeliner. Either way, it really looks great with my brown eyes.
