is pompous blue similar to ingenue blue (just minus the glitter) or a bluer blue?

I actually hate the Velvets because they appear to shimmer in the pan but not so much on lids. They are disappointing because it takes so much work to get the e/s to show up the same way. Mulch is an exception IMO; the others just don't deliver on the shimmer front. I like Bitter and Smut too, for their base colors, but I consider them to be matte because that's how they are on me. I don't know how it is for others, but that's my take on it.
That said, Blue Edge looks like a purty color regardless of shimmer. I might need it!

Velvet aren't all the same texture.
On me, Iris Print is chalky.. but Mulch isn't similar at all, it's better.
Contrast is good but feel like a less shimmery Frost. Trax isn't like Contrast, it's much more shimmery.
Sketch is almost matte on me, nothing like Mulch or Trax.
It's weird because they are all very different (Not the shades... I'm talking about the texture).

I must have Peppier and Full Flame!
and maybe Jeweltone and B-Rich too... Although, I don't know why but the name B-Rich annoys me. Maybe I hate hyphens...

I just picked up Pompus Blue, Zeal, Jeweltone, and LIghtshade. Pompous Blue is an AMAZING blue, it's a must-have! I like it much better than Freshwater or Belle Azure, and it's MAJORLY pigmented. Zeal I'm on the fence about... on my it's a little too magenta. I'll have to play with it. Jeweltone is a must-havve purple, and pigmented like Pompous Blue. It's what I wanted Purple Haze to be- a deep true purple. Lightshade is the perfect "naked" neutral for those looking for a pale golden beige. It looks fab w/ taupe-brown shades in the crease for a finished but natural look. I wanted B-Rich to be mush less red- I was hoping for a cooler-based brown with sparkle. It reminded me of Rich-Ground liner, so I passed on it.
The Technakohls!!!! Oh my! I picked up Earthline and it is the PERFECT liner for the natural look described above. My Coffee e/l and Graphic Brown fluidline are too dark for this look, and this is the perfect deep taupe-brown. It blends like a kohl, but dries to a stay-put finish. THese are the best thing to come out in a while!
