Hallo!
Awhile back I wrote a post about the small, yet fabulous line of cosmetics by Andrea from Evil Shades Cosmetics. Now I’ve got a blush pigment and some eyeshadow pigments for ya.
Pinup
Pinup
Pinup is a shimmery medium rose pink color. This has a really cool sheen to it that you don’t normally see in blushes. It’s really great for fair skin, I can vouch for that. The color is pretty vibrant so you only need a little bit when applying. It feels very smooth and blend-able, not chalky or too powdery at all. I love the container it comes in because you don’t get it all over the place!
Steele Green and Double Barrel
Double Barrel
Double Barrel is one of the eyeshadow pigments in the Evil Shades collection. The color is a dark grey with pink and green shimmer. It too has a really nice finish and great opacity. As with most pigments you might have some fallout. To reduce that I usually put these on over a “sticky” kind of base like MAC Painterly Paint Pot, which is my exact skin color. It just helps the pigments stick when you apply than rather than fall all over your face.
Steele Green
Steele Green is a medium green with yellow and green shimmer. This color is totally fabulous and I love it. The colored shimmer in Double Barrel is a little more subtle than this one. You can really see the yellow which gives it a really cool two-toned look.
Double Barrel and Steele Green
Overall:
I love these pigments and have really been getting into them a lot more lately. I think they feel fabulous going on and have great saturation. The only downside I see to these eyeshadow pigments (this doesn’t apply to the blush) is they don’t have the sifter in them, which can make it slightly messy sometimes. But that’s not a huge thing, just a minor one. UPDATE: These now come with sifters, yay! Stay tuned for a lot more pigments from Evil Shades soon!
Have you tried blush or eyeshadow pigments yet? Which are your favorites?

Steele Green is awesome in color and in name.
Just an update. The Eyeshadows now come with sifters. :o)
That’s great. I’m going to check out this brand!
Love these, especially Double Barrel and Pinup. I bet they would look awesome with each other. 🙂
I love Evilshades products. Pinup has replaced Nars Orgasm for me. It is my go to blush. It gives a soft glow and airbrush effect. It is perfect and I am darker olive toned, so it must be one of those universal shades. I use a primer when applying shadows and put a cloth on the outer corner of my eye because I suck at applying eye shadow and tend to get it everywhere, so I thought that was just me. I actually like the open pot design for the shadow, I tip it over then tip it back and tap and use what is in the cap. It works perfect. I actually pulled the sifter out of pinup! HA! Can’t wait to see more of these.
That green looks gorgeous!

Oooh, that blush looks awesome! I have been on a huge blush kick lately. Also love both shadow colors – I’m used to Fyrinnae not having sifters in their samples, so that part doesn’t bother me as much. I dip my brush in to the shadow, and tap the excess off on the shadow jar lid. If I need more while I’m applying, I re-dip into the lid! Helps me some 🙂
I love your swatches, Kelly as you can see the complexity of these shadows!

Steele Green is definitely my favourite. Love the way greens make my brown eyes pop, and it’s neat how there’s some yellow shimmer in this one.

I just ordered today. Wish I had seen this posting. I might have added that shade of blush. I ordered Gossamer. I also order 4 lipsticks, lip gloss sampler and eye shadow sampler. I also order a weekend special. I’ve been reading off and on about Andrea’s products. I’ve been dying to try them and I can’t wait till they arrive. She’s a wonderful person and such a sweetheart. All I’ve heard are good things about her and her company. Thank for this post. I look forward to more swatches and how about some FOTD?
Sorry they are a pass for me, not that the colors aren’t pretty, it’s just the name urks me so bad. Don’t like anything with that word in it. This is not to be offensive to anyone, just my personal choice/feelings. Take care!
these look great! i love the shadows and lip glosses i’ve gotten from Evil Shades 🙂 i just made another order!
I love Evil Shades! They’re fantastic 🙂

These colors are gorgeous, and what a great name! I’m so tired of all of the overly cutesy names for things, so this hits my “anti-marketing” spot! (thanks, Bill Hicks)
I do have a question, though- does anyone with glasses use these? If so, would you please weigh in on the amount of shadow fallout that your lenses attract from the loose pigment? In my past experiences, there’s a bunch. Please tell me these are different!
It’s the only reason I haven’t already ordered them!!!
I love the green shadow! Great price too.
