Stardust Swatch-o-rama Part 2!

Here are some more swatches of the permanent loose mineral pigments from Stardust.

Again, please click to make larger. These blogger pics suck when they are small! As always, my swatches are dry with the same Aveda makeup brush.

Ivory- matte ivory (must have!)
Bootes- pale fleshy pink (super shiny, almost metallic)
Sunstorm- shimmery champagne (gorgeously soft, will make a great wash)
Aphrodite- warm rose with green mineral sparkle (very subtle shimmer, not gaudy!)
Stella- earthy matte peach (very pretty as a blush)
Andromeda- golden pink peach (this color is really close to Nar's Orgasm!)
Lady of the Lake- saturated turquoise shimmer (OMG amazing! Really bold in real life)
Juno- purple blue with subtle pink and blue glitters (another great color!)

Eggplant- medium matte purple (BEST smoky eye color!)
High Maintenance- golden purple frost (Ahhh! Matches Zoya Zara and officially a new favorite!)
Royal Kiss- shimmery red plum (A great fall/winter berry)
Satin Sheets- multi dimensional purple frost (I think I see blue shimmer in here...do I? Ha it's adorable!)
Silky- medium matte taupe (Um, possibly the perfect neutral matte taupe? I don't have a color like this!)
High Enough- shimmery golden beige* (A great highlight for neutral looks)
Wizard's Wand- sheer taupe (A delicious warm taupe with golden shimmer)
High Brow- matte deep brown (Another favorite! Who doesn't need a dark black brown matte?)

How luscious are these?? High Maintenance looks exactly like the Zoya polish Zara, which is my absolute favorite nail polish ever (but I can't find it...stupid makeup gnomes...they stold my TFSI too!). I love, love, love the 'velvet' texture on the mattes and each one is so pigmented! Ivory is a must have for me, I'll be getting a full size soon.

I really can't say enough about how easy these shadows are. Loose pigments are difficult for a lot of people, and even sometimes for me, and thats all I use! Each color is so soft and you don't need to worry about over-blending or trying to pack an entire tablespoon on your eye for color. The swatches aren't even done with primer!

Be sure to check out Stardust's Forum for some amazing looks and fun people to talk to! No negativity there, every one is so sweet. Plus, Jenna, the owner, creates the most insanely gorgeous looks using combinations I never would have thought of! It's really nice because while she does have some off-the-wall looks, there are also ones for daytime and more neutral party looks, which I love. When I go out with my family especially, I need to tone it down a bit and Jenna is such an inspiration!
