Yes, I would love to see different iridescent multichromes over different colors, reds, blues, etc... to see how they change and for inspiration on looks! I love swatching all my multichromes and metallics, but I am an amateur when it comes to coming up with looks. Swatch porn is the best but I need to know how to pair them for my looks! 😊❤
We are all creatures of habit, lol, which explains why we buy the same shades over and over in different variations from different brands. I love these videos! I could watch you do this all day. ❤
I used to not like Made on Mars either but I have found that both that shade & Falling Star make beautiful highlighters. If applied very lightly with a super fluffy & not densely packed fan brush it, the gray base doesn’t leave a cast.
The base of space case is actually a warm tan! Ik they call it a grey base.. But it's definitely a tan/brown base. Same with m51 & iirc cosmic dancer too! Ooop I shoulda kept watching because you just said it 🤭
Thank you, Riley for me giving me vicarious satisfaction in swatching shifties! For someone who lives in SEA, getting a hold of these pricey shifties needs a lot of thought --avoiding duplicates and calculating shipping fee + period are huge factors in decision making. I'm grateful that you are putting an emphasis on how iridescent shifters could be layered on different bases to achieve a similar effect to the more popular dark-based multichromes. It's great to be informed.
@@catherinelynnfraser2001 That’s a good point. Greys can be so complicated, depending on if they lean brown, green, purple, yellow, blue, etc. I am guessing they would contrast and highlight some pigments but also potentially cancel out some of the shifts in the multichromes.
Why am I watching this at 4 am, I don’t know but I love this video idea! It’s so cool seeing how the swatches compared over different bases! This was so interesting to watch. I want to play around with all my iridescents now! Ahahaha maybe I should go to bed first. Yeah I’ll do it tomorrow 😂 ILY thank you for sharing! This was so fun ❤
And what about layering over a base colour, blue, brown, green, purple. I thought of this because I saw a video on IG from Karla Cosmetics where Linda Halberg used a translucent pigment called Skylight over a deep blue and it completely changed the pigment and it was surprising how different it looked.
Yessss, multichrome science! I'm wondering if Clionadh Ray would better replicate the TM Lunar Spectrum family because it seems to be more red from straight on than most pink-orange-golds. As for M51 vs Big Bang, I'm thinking the difference is that M51 has a warm brown base and Big Bang has a sheer greyish taupe base (rather than tan). I really wouldn't have thought of Space Case as part of the Clionadh Lux family; I'll have to keep that in mind!
Yeah I do think inferno is part of the first group. What happens is, the formula can change how shiny/sparkly/reflective it is. Especially when it comes to black & grey based. I guarantee if you took matte black or grey pigment & added an iridescent multichrome pigment & then pressed it, you'd get an entirely different effect than just using the black based multichrome pigment & turning that into a pressed eyeshadow. I hope I'm making sense. I know this from experience. So while you can swatch an iridescent over a matte & get a similar effect, most eyeshadow that is black or grey based comes that way as a premixed pigment. Once you take that black/grey based multichrome pigment & add a bunch of ingredients & press it, it changes how it looks in finish.
Ohhhh yess this is such a good point! I also wonder if doing a metallic black base instead of matte would have made a difference. I need to see if I can find a smooth metallic black single shadow!
I appreciate this so much!! It can be so interesting to see how having a certain type of base changes how the shifts show up. Also, in still being new to multichromes (besides 2 or 3 scattered in palettes), your videos along with badtothebrow's videos have been helping me narrow down a beginner shop list for black friday. 😊
I LoVE Made on Mars. Would love to see a video of these sorts of colors. I feel like Made on Mars and other "bland" colorful shifty shades feels more wearable for work some days than Spicy Neutrals. I also love muted mattes like DLC Lakeview and would love to see some of your favorite mattes in that genre - maybe swatched out as looks / color-combos?
Patterns, data analysis, and sparkles? Inject that shit directly into my autistic brain 😂 On that note: would you like some links to patent filings that explain manufacturing process of certain pigments? They are relevant to how it is difficult to replicate dark base multichromes with iridescents.
Multichrome nerds unite ❤

Let me go find your video so I can link it in the description!!
@@seekingshiftsit’s so obsolete at this point 😅 yours is way more detailed
What an interesting exercise. Thank you for sharing!
Holy crap girl!!! 😮 You are an absolute beast for this video!! 🥹🥰 Love this, yes please more!

This was a great video. I hope your arm survived all the swatching!
Oh my god.. Riley!! I can imagine the time that went into this..
This is a skill that I'm really good at & you are the MASTER!! I'm so excited for this but I'm sure you knew I would be! 🕺✨✨✨

We’re on the same wavelength 🤣❤️

Surprisingly SBSD indulge seemed semi similar to Venus which I wasn’t expecting
I love this kind of videos! So in-depth, I really appreciate all the hard work ❤
I loveeee this type of makeup data content, its so interesting!
This is so much fun! Color theory is so wildly fascinating, but also bewildering. I wonder how much a person’s undertone would affect the comparisons?
This is a really good point about skin undertone!! I think it would def play a role especially for the iridescents and gray based multis
And the tone of the base as well 😂
@@catherinelynnfraser2001 That’s a good point. Greys can be so complicated, depending on if they lean brown, green, purple, yellow, blue, etc. I am guessing they would contrast and highlight some pigments but also potentially cancel out some of the shifts in the multichromes.
For the first column, I would have suggested something more like Copacetic Hunny Bunny 😍 or maybe SBSD Radar, or Micka Élite?
Omg radar would have been a good one to try!! Noting for the next round 📝

BadToTheBrow did a fantastic video on this about a month ago.

I actually don’t have ray! but I’ll inevitably end up picking it up in a future order, I’m sure 🤣🤣

@@seekingshifts yes!! Or even a satin! Idk if you have the Sydney Grace "be mine" palette, but the shade "Smitten" would probably be perfect! 🖤✨
This video is like a really fun science class, please keep em coming Riley❣️
I love watching these swatch parties and all the test swatches
I love a good analytic video about makeup 😌

Also the light grey eyeshadow you’re using seems to be more neutral than cool which I think made Titania go a bit warmer
I agree when I was editing I was like damn it looks almost brown rather than gray! I need to go through my gray mattes and try again
I absolutely adore your videos. This was great and something I never would have come up with lol and it was a longer video which made my day.
I was wondering could you recommend a black based plum multichrome.
Yessss! FOR SCIENCE!
