I would assume that it isn't a duochrome because it is perriwinkle with a violet shimmer/frost, not a metallic reflective second color.

exactly. just cause something has different colored shimmer, doesn't make it duochrome. what makes it a duochrome is when its one color one way, then at a different angle its another color. for example, vellum is white when applied on your skin. but when you look at it at a different angle, its blue/violet. it doesn't have blue/violet shimmer/frost to it, it actually changes color to blue/violet. same with stars n' rockets. its pink one way, purple the other. grape/entremauve are purple with red shimmer/flecks. if it were a duochrome, it would be purple at one angle and then change to red at a different one, but it doesn't. steel blue is kinda difficult. the color doesn't change, however, you do see all the colors of its dirty tea/blue/green, just not at different angles.

I also love duochromes and these are some of the ones I can think of:

Pigments: old gold, pink pearl, blue brown, deep blue green
shadows: tilt, stars 'n rockets

These are the only duochromes I have, I'm sure there are more out there.

I'm pretty sure Surreal e/s is duochrome

I looked on all the eyeshadows on Mac's website, but the only eyeshadow the mention duochrome on is expensive pink. That's strange

vellum is a duochrome shadow that looks white but flashes pink or blue. i think it's gone from perm to pro now though.

wow, thanks for the list! what color does each one turn when put over some black liner? Club I know becomes a lovely peacock green-blue and vellum becomes pink but I don't know the others.

I love duochromes... I think it's a great way to stretch a dollar at MAC since you're basically getting two colors in one!
