Well this is best Grey pigment I have ever put on my eye lid. It's a lovely light Grey color with a purple undertone. It's one of the few colors that makes Deep Truth looks great. I only have a sample...Read more

Beautiful color in the pot, and for some I'm sure it's lovely on, but for me it shows up as pretty much a violet blue instead of the grey I wanted. I don't even get the silvery tone some others have m...Read more

I desperately want to love this pigment, since I practially jumped through fire to get it, but although it's incredibly pretty I struggle to make it work for me. As other users have mentioned, the 'so...Read more

Um . . . this pigment is not grey. It's purple. I guess I'd say it's mid blue purple with a grey undertone. I just received a sample of it. It's gorgeous and not too in-your-face. I may buy a full siz...Read more

This is one of my fave pigments, it's such a gorgeous colour. A lot of pictures don't do the colour justice, it's definitely not as grey as pics make out! It's a very wearable purpley/blue/grey shade....Read more

This is a very wearable bluey/ purpley grey; I usually wear it alone or with some carbon in the crease and vanilla to highlight. Imminently wearable!

I'm NW15 with green eyes. This pigment was LE with the May 2006 Sundressing collection. The color description is grey with purple pearl. This color is definitely more of a purpley-blue than grey. This...Read more
