In the first picture the pigments are stacked dark to light, so I will describe them top to bottom.
Roasted Chestnut- This shade is a dark reddy warm brown metallic base with a gold glitter.
Smoked Berry- It looks very cranberry in the pot, but when applied it looks coppery, again very metallic, but no glitter.
Light Rose- Light metallic pink with a white/gold warm shimmer.
Pearl- Looks darker in the pot, when applied is a shimmery white, great for a highlight if you are doing an all out metallic eye look.
So, first off, I have never used these "crushed metal pigments" before, so I have been playing around with them for a couple of days. They look fairly chunky in the pots, but they actually apply very smoothly wet and dry! And, I applied a paint pot first so the pigment would have something to stick to. I have done two looks so far with these, one with the brown all over the lid, pearl as a highlight under brow and inner corner and the light rose above the crease, to blend the dark brown into the highlight color. The other more of a gradient, using pearl as a highlight under brow and inner corner, light rose, inner third of lid and under eye, berry outer corner and then chestnut outer v, crease, and under eye.
They look so warm and great with any eye color! Green eyes looks greener, Blue eyes look bluer, Brown eyes look warmer and pop!

Did anyone else buy this set or anything else from this collection?
I look forward to playing with these more and will post some looks at a later date.
