Swatches: Milani Marbleized Baked Eyeshadows

Continuing my Milani swatchfest, I'd like to show you three additional shades from the Marbleized Baked Shadow Collection (click here for the Metallics). A while back I showed you Drench in Gold and Intermix, and today I've got three additional Marbleized shades to share with you (the only shade I do not have is Medley, which is a black with silver sparkle).

These shadows do contain sparkle, which means that there's some fallout to be expected. However, when I apply them over primer, it really helps to give the shadow something to adhere to, so the fallout is contained more than when I apply them on bare skin. As with the Metallics, the label on the Marbleized shadows indicates that you can "use wet to intensify or dry for a softer look".

In the following photos, I have included one swatch on bare skin and a second swatch on top of Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Mix It Up is a matte black with lots of pretty blue sparkle. When applied over primer, the sparkle really intensifies. I'm looking forward to using this wet as eyeliner.

Fusion was the color I was the most curious to swatch in this collection. I couldn't predict how the colors would blend on the skin, and I was very happy to see that Fusion takes on almost a rose-gold quality when applied. This is a very pretty lid color and I like using Rich Java in my crease when I wear it--it's a lovely combo.

Mélange is a matte black with lots of gold sparkle. It actually looks almost metallic in real life when worn over primer. It's such an intense color--I think it would be nice to use for a nighttime smoky eye.

You can purchase Milani Marbleized Baked Eyeshadows at CVS, Walgreens and Target, and they're also available online at the Milani website and CherryCulture.

That's it for my Milani eyeshadow swatchfest! I'd love to hear from you if you've tried any of these shadows. If not, are there any that you've got your eye on?
