There seem to be two levels of shimmer for paints- one which is a pearlescent/metallic like shimmer as you get with Canton Candy, Chartru, Hot+Sour, etc. and one which is a sparkle within a matte base similar to a velvet finish shadow. Bare Canvas and Flammable are of this second finish. Then there are those which are a flat matte such as existential and matisserie.
