Blackstar Red is awesome. Very unique and unusual, it is like mixing the discontinued MAC Maroon pigment and Black shimmer. It is a blackened maroon burgundy color that is delightful for smoky eyes. If you like Beauty Marked MAC eyeshadow, then you will love this.

Instead of the dark red being glitter, it is shimmer blended right into the black base so that the color is well blended. No vanishing of the burgundy sparkles like Beauty Marked used to do for me.

Really amazing color, I just love it. Of course, using it wet or on damp skin, it is very intense and looks like foil. I lilke to use it dabbed on over liner BEFORE it sets it is really gorgeous stuff.

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!
