I gotten this from influenster in the Smokey Topaz, which is one of the original shades – Smokey Topaz is a really lovely shade though – sort of a mauve taupe with a lovely shimmery (but not frosty!) finish.
Since this is a loose shadow, you could also use it wet, but it’s very pigmented dry. I think it must have some type of binder in it, because it adheres to skin quite well without any base at all. I tested it out on my eyes, and it applied well just over eye shadow primer. There was some fallout during application, but none during the day.
Overall, I really liked the NYC Sparkle Eye Dust shadow – enough that I’m definitely going to go back for more! I found the packaging fairly convenient. I did need to tap on to the back of my hand to apply, but the packaging prevented spills, which is great. The quality of the shadow is also very nice – pigmented, smooth and adheres well. A great, inexpensive choice!
