Blue Iridescence is another interference color. That means it is blue shimmer in a translucent base. Shows up with a hint of color on bare skin or light backgrounds and when used in dark background, the colored shimmer lights up intensely.

The best way to describe this is if you put MAC's Frozen White in a grinder and made it finer. Frozen White has intense blue sparkle but when you grind it smaller, the shininess of the blue sparkle gets subdued and diffused due to the reduced surface area that can reflect light.

Very versatile color, useful for highlighting fuschia lipstick, underbrow, as a highlight on lid for eyeshadow, etc.

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!
