Shadow in Electric Eel (S): bright blue with shimmer
Shadow in Tilt (F): violet with blue green pearl

EYE SHADOW FINISHES & DESCRIPTIONS
FROST: An iridescent shine that adds a highlight to any colour. These are probably what you think of first when you think eye shadow. A fine sheen that varies some from color to color. Applied it has a pearly appearance.

LUSTRE: Smoothly pearlized; intensely frosted with deluxe ultra-fine "conditioned" finish.
A very flaky sparkle, similar to a pressed version of frost or rose pigment. Very sparkly and glittery, though some have problems getting lustre shadows to adhere to the skin.

MATTE: Hi-colour pay-off in a no-shine matte finish. Your traditional matte shadow. No shine, no glitter, just a matte chalk-like finish and dense color.

SATIN: Pure colour in a satin-style finish. Provides a soft subtle non-frost, light-refractive sheen.
Satin shadows vary a lot color to color. Some seem almost completely matte, while others have a subtle pearly sheen, and still others have a high sheen almost identical to a frost.

VELUXE: Superfine pigment rich and very luxe. Supple to apply. Provides silky smooth matte finish.
A sheer, smooth, matte shadow. Designed to apply sheerly yet to layer without looking chalky or feeling heavy. Very customizable color density.

VELUXE PEARL: Vibrantly-toned. Velvety soft. Shimmeringly metallic. Veluxe eye shadow, now overlaid with high-shine pearl. A very strong pearl to almost metallic finish. Very smooth texture, almost to a fault on some skins where these can become smeary.

VELVET: Soft look finish with high-colour intensity. Has a plush velvety look and feel. Matte with glitter thrown in. Depending on the shade, some have larger glitter and a grainier matte base than others.

MINERALIZE: Velvet-soft eye colour that fuses sophisticated tones with high metallic ultra-luxe frost to bring a smooth, rich shimmer to the eye. Designed to be used wet or dry. A baked pearl finish shadow.
