Aborigine Aqua is a more aqua version of MAC's Teal. It is not as cohesive metallic- what I mean by that is that when you apply Teal dry, it looks like liquid metal on the skin. When you apply Aborigine Aqua, it is more like a sparkly intense shimmer- still comparable to the Teal, but it does not have the liquid metal look to it. It is more reflective and sparkly, where Teal is a bit more metallic matte. Now that is for a dry application.

Nice color- I always apply pigments to a base before it dries so that they will set well. Used wet, this is a very strong pigment as well, and will be even more brilliant cohesive metallic than Teal is dry. Used wet, this is a royalty color.

Gorgeous color.

If this is your first sweetscents review....

If you want to check out these pigments, they are about $2 each for a 10g jar (MAC wants $18.50 for a 7.5g jar) and the quality is as good as MAC in most of the colors.

Go to http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html and look for Mica Pack Combos at the bottom of the page.

Some of the colors that I am reviewing are not on the site yet, it is supposed to be revamped soon. You can talk with the sweetscents lady via phone or email (it is on the site) and tell her that you read my review of the color if you do not see it on the site (she knows me by now since I ask endless questions- I am the artist capri) and that way she will not wonder how you knew about the color.

She will also help you find colors you might like if you tell her what you like or are looking for. That is how I found so many awesome colors. She is a pigment addicts DREAM!
