Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Intense shadows

I am in love with the GA Eyes to Kill Intense shadows. They are a hybrid cream/powder. Apply wet or dry with fingers or a large eye contour brush. I have a total of thirteen all purchased by me. I will most likely buy more but that is for later. I thought I would swatch the ones I do have so you can see what they look like. I did not do any prep on my skin prior to swatching. All of these swatches are primer and base free.
Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Intense Shadows come in a small glass pot with a black screw on lid and an under cap to make sure the shadow is protected. Neither a cream nor a powder, this incredible hybrid formula acts like a colour suspension that delivers a dreamy, ethereal beauty to eyes with a 24 hour hold.


Blast of Blue (1) is a mix of blue and medium metallic gold that blend to create a dusty blue with gold flecks.

Lust Red (2) is a blackened burgundy with red shimmer.

Purpura (3) is a metallic plum purple with blue, violet, and gold flecks in it. This is one that wears better wet.

Khaki Pulse (6) is a rich bronze with a soft gold and bronze metallic sheen.

Champagne (8) is a pinkish champagne color with a bright, metallic sheen.

Airy Jade (10) is a pale blue with a bright metallic sheen.

White Punch (11) is a light pink/beige/white mix of colors that translates into a slightly pinkish white with a high metallic finish.

Black (13) is a really deep, dark black that is subtly infused with blue micro-shimmer.

Copper/Black Grey(15) is a slightly cool-toned bronze/brown with a hint of taupe in it. It has a bronze-gold micro-shimmer finish.

Silver/Black Grey (16) is a dark silvery gray with a foil like sheen.

The swatch on the left is Silver/Black Grey (16) and the swatch on the right is Obsidian Grey (21). I wanted to compare swatches between 16 and 21. As you can see, 16 has more of a bright silver sheen. 21 has a slight teal sheen and looks darker.

Obsidian Grey (21) is a medium-dark gray with a silver shimmer and a green-teal pull of color.

Madre Perla (23) w is a blend of precious white pearls that instantly radiates ever-changing pink, purple, blue and greenIt applies better wet than dry with more color payoff and a smoother texture.Not only could you wear this as an eyeshadow but you could apply a little to your upper cheek bones and temples for a truly ethereal look.

Sweet Fire (7) is a soft, rosy pink with a metallic sheen. I set this one aside for last because I intend to replace it. For some reason, the texture changed and is now kind of pasty... I can't use a brush to get any of it out.
