Eye Shadow: What Sets Us Apart?

Please, please, please read this prior to purchasing shadows from us for the first time (partially explains our time frame as well).

They are eye shadows, not "Pigments", a different product alltogether by a major cosmetic company, or the term used to mean a pure colorant. Our eye shadows are NOT the same as "mineral" makeup brand shadows. Most of those are a few colored mica shades mixed together on a transparent white base, or bulk repackaged colorants. This is great if you just want some colored shimmer. Think of ours as being more like intense pressed shadows, just lacking any solidity...though they can be easily pressed with the right additions.

How are Fyrinnae's different?
We have always strived to create the colors, altering hues in out studio lab using different methods including high-heat treatment, and using deep or vibrant "bases" in the shades to bring out the hues and allow for more variation of sparkle/shimmer/matte. Some shades take over two hours to create in our well-equipped studio/lab. This is why many of our eye shadows do not apply the same as other companies': they are not the same product, and are not meant to be applied the same way. Sure, we create several sheer or pure shimmer eye shadows like Snow Leopard and Shinkirou, but for the most part, our colors have depth and dimension. In our photos, nearly all dry swatches were "patted" on, not rubbed in a streak, and the wet swatches are mixed about 1 part water + 1-2 parts shadow, though that varies depending on shade and density of the base hue. We strongly recommend against swiping the shadows on, as this can ruin the effect of some, except when applying over Pixie Epoxy.
