Sushi Flower or Passionate?

I want to get a pink, and I really like the colour of sushi flower, but I find that it's has to really be layerd on to show. Passionate isn't exactly the colour I want, but it's a hot pink, shows up without having to pack on too much, but it's a matte and I don't really like mattes. Any comments on either shadows?

i find it easier to use my finger to apply sushi flower instead of a brush... um, im not sure if that helps hahaha but i absolutely LOVE sushi flower. i use vaseline as a base sometimes for eyeshadows that come up really sheer... it gets really sticky but other bases dont help me much.

They are both great colours. If you use a base that is somewhat pink or red, sushi flower will come out very bright. I either use Canton Candy or Flammable and then put Sushi Flower over it. It is really pretty. I use Passionate in the crease or liner because I don't like Mattes that much either but it really is a beautiful colour.

Love 'em both, but they both have their flaws.... I tend to think of Sushi flower as "blusher for eyes" rather than an eyeshadow, if that makes sense, because of the sheerness, I tend to use it as a wash and use another colour if I'm wanting a block of solid hot pink on my lid (I have a great Pure Luxe pigment that works brilliantly with Sushi Flower, it's like a glittery version of SF and a shade or two darker, can find out the name if you like..... or if I don't mind a bit of bluish/purplish shimmer in a "hot pink" look I will use Stars n Rockets instead).

Passionate is another great shadow but its flaw is that it suffers from the weird texture that most of the mattes have, and can be a bit tricky to apply, After reading here that the MAC matte shadows go on smoother over a base of a Veluxe Pearl shadow, I sometimes use (again!) Stars 'n Rockets to prep the lid if I'm doing something strong and dramatic with lots of Passionate - the SnR underneath makes Passionate a tad pinker, but I find that fine.
