Canmake Jewelstar Eyes Part II

Ever since Julia left a comment in my Visee x Mercury Duo Brilliance Forming Eyes post, suggesting I should use the cream eyeshadows on my lower lash lines instead of my upper lids (it was actually part of the how-to instructions on for the Visee palette, but silly me never bothered to look at it...ha), I experienced a complete 180-degrees turnaround in opinion regarding these cream shadows I deemed too greasy (they are greasy!).

And thanks to Julia for pointing out the obvious (and it's necessary to have someone pointing out the obvious sometimes), not only I gained a new found appreciation for my Canmake Jewelstar Eye in 01 Crystal Silver, I actually went out and bought more colors ^.^ Hooray! I finally finally know how to use these cream shadows ^.^ ...though had I been more diligent in reading my instructions, I would have learned much sooner :P Owe Julia one all the same!

10 Heart Snow White

I bought 07 Stone Gold and 10 Heart Snow White because they both look stunning when swatched ^.^ Both have the same waxy texture as the 01 Crystal White, though 01 Crystal White and 07 Stone Gold are more intensely metallic, and therefore grittier, than 10 Heart Snow White. Regardless, I avoid applying any of them (including the Visee ones)  too close to the tear ducts, just in case.

- 07 Stone Gold: metallic, very sheer, I found the name for this color quite dead on and it's a stony gold color in the pan but goes on more khaki gold. It is very intensely metallic when swatched but applies a glistening wet finish on my lower lash lines. 

- 10 Heart Snow White: metallic pearl, very sheer, a translucent pearly white with iridescent pink sheen and pink shimmers. It swatched more metallic than it actually is, and it applies a wet pearly pink finish on my lower lash lines. It is smoother in comparison to 01 Crystal Silver and 07 Stone Gold due to the finer shimmer bits.
