    <p>Overall rating: I gave this 4 lippies because although it's an absolutely gorgeous, highly shimmery eyeshadow, this vibrant violet is too screamingly vivid on my now 47-year-old hazel eyes :-(...

    I absolutely adore this pigment. I have a pressed pan of it and some in a sample jar, but I desperately need the full-size. It is an almost metallic bright purple that goes on vibrantly with one...

    I'm slightly dissapointed by this pigment. From the colour in the pot I was expecting a very bright, rich purple, and this pigment failed to deliver that for me. No matter how heavily I applied it,...

    This pigment is one of the most dissapointing ones for me. Color is great, texture is great. But this was the fastest fading of all the pigments Ive tried. Plus it did not look as vibrant on my...

    I love using purple eye shadow, this purple is my all time favorite! It looks good if put a light dusting or if I lay it on thick. Any way I wear it it looks amazing, I will definitely be buying...

    Most purples that I try out are either too dark, too gray or too blue. This one is a pure, vivid violet purple. It stands out a lot on me because of my coloring (dark hair, dark eyes and pale...

    This is such a beautiful violet. Shimmery, almost pearlescent. Very nice bright violet that really stands out. Smooth and silky texture. Use with a mixing medium or even water to apply it....

    Medium bright violet with shimmer. I use purples a lot because it's one of my favorite colors and because they make the green and goldish tones in my eyes very prominent! This Pigment works well...

    This is a lovely pigment. It has a great texture and goes on very smoothly with minimal (if any) fallout. It's a true cool violet with strong blue undertones. It's very pigmented and stays on all...

    I've been looking for the "perfect" bright, bright, bright purple eyeshadow for years and this is the closest I've found - most purples go kinda soft and muddy on me (is it 'cos I've got a warm...

    I'm a pretty cool-toned gal, so I'm able to carry off this color fairly well. It's a beautiful color, and quite shimmery. I like pairing it with golds for a burst of color. It has a tendency...

    To me, this is a beautiful purple pigment... but it's not for me. (NW20) It is too bright for me to use as a liner (with a dampened eyeliner brush), and it's not my type of purple to use as an...
