Illamasqua Dystopia

Illamasqua says: "Dystopia is not for the faint-hearted, Dystopia is a strong statement of defiant confidence. Where the dark meets the light. Monochrome shades build and blend, brought alive by flashes of intense pink and lurid purple, while dazzling pigments, metallic textures and iridescent finishes all add to the drama of this strikingly uncompromising look. As the nights grow longer, bring your alter ego out of the shadows and illuminate your individuality."

I was sent a few things from this collection, it's very different from 'Sirens' but I like it as it's the complete opposite. A fresh change always makes me smile. Lets get examining shall we?

First up we have the powder eyeshadow in Synth. This is a very pretty pale lilac with a duo chrome finish which has silver glitter. I have nothing similar in my collection so can't compare it to anything. I wore it as a lid colour and the glitter helped open up my eyes to create a flirty look. Price: £14

The powder eyeshadow in Machine is a dark grey almost black colour with silver glitter. It is highly pigmented and creates a perfect crease colour for the smokey eye. 'Machine' is comparable to Mac's 'Black Tied' and Maybellines eyestudio 842 'black metal'. In fact they are all almost identical, it's just a matter of what quality and packaging you prefer. Price: £14

Here are swatches of 'Synth' and 'Machine'.

Finally I have the sheer lipgloss to talk about, I am so glad I wasn't sent the intense silver gloss as I would have NEVER worn it. This gloss is very pretty, it's like the gloss version of 'Synth'. It's a very pretty pale lilac colour with a pink duo chrome finish. It's highly pigmented and applies very smoothly. This gloss has NO glitter! Price: £12.50

Here's a swatch of the sheer lipgloss.
