Multichrome Eyeshadow Magic

Hello beautiful creatures! Today I’m sharing some multichrome eyeshadow magic with you. For those of you who might be new here, duochromes and multichromes are my eyeshadow obsession! I love to make them the star of my makeup looks. They’re perfect for one and done makeup, too. If you’re looking for a single eyeshadow to make the most impact when wearing a mask, you need a multichrome!

In case it needs to be said, all of these were purchased by me. All opinions, as always, are my own.

The Indie Mood

I wanted to take a minute and say thank you to the Indie Mood and everyone here who has supported me over the past 13 years. I was thrilled to Phyrra.net named as one of the two best beauty blogs of 2020, with the other blog being Temptalia. Please check out the Indie Mood’s 2020 awards and give them a follow on Instagram. They always share new indie releases and I follow them!

What to Pair with Multichromes

If you don’t want to use a duochrome or multichrome eyeshadow for a one and done eyeshadow look, I suggest using them with mattes. As a hooded eye gal, I have a lot of great mattes from my Viseart Editorial Brights, Cool Mattes 1 and Cool Mattes 2 palettes, as well as my Natasha Denona and Melt Cosmetics. Wondering if you have hooded eyes? Find out in my Do I have hooded eyes feature.

Looking for help picking out mattes to go with your multichrome eyeshadows? See my Natasha Denona Triochrome Palette Review or my Lethal Cosmetics Makeup Haul.

Multichrome Eyeshadow Magic Thoughts

The world of indie cosmetics got me addicted to multichrome eyeshadow magic. While I’ve given away most of my loose eyeshadow collection, I’ve held onto my pressed eyeshadows. I find pressed eyeshadow easier to store and travel with, not that I’ve done any traveling over the past year.

The most similar colors I own are the greens – See Weed, Chamellionaire, Flawless and Paralucia. My favorite from among all the greens is JD Glow See Weed, followed by Fyrinnae Flawless. These two have the best pigmentation and formula for my oily hooded eyelids. See my JD Glow Liquid Multichromes Review.

Menelaus and Sorcery are both very similar, as they have a cool-toned brown base with strong blue shift. Between the two I prefer the formula of Menelaus.

Prismatic Thunderstorm and Interstellar are very similar. Between the two I prefer the formula of Prismatic Thunderstorm, as I feel you see the color shift more intensely.

Cinnamon Sugar and Parthenos are my two favorite neutrals with a twist. I prefer Cinnamon Sugar between the two because it has this magical quality that makes my eyes look bigger when worn on the lid.
