Sunday Riley's Prismasilk Eye Color Eye Shadows come in 32 shades ranging in finishes from mattes to satins to shimmers, and finally to vibrant metallics (click here to see my overview and preliminary review from the November 2011 launch). All of the shades are gorgeously pigmented and ultra-finely milled making them exquisite to the touch. In fact, they are so soft and creamy that you will be tempted to apply them with your fingers! This luxurious formula is long-wearing and highly pigmented which is always a winning combination. These shadows are formulated to be worn wet or dry, alone or blended, and with or without a primer. They also work beautifully as eye liners- which I have found work best when applied wet rather than dry.
Sunday Riley uses advanced Air-Milling technology which is credited for creating this ultra-fine luxurious texture. Air-milling evenly disperses the pigment throughout the entire shadow ensuring absolute consistency in every single application from the first use through the last one at the bottom of the pan. This alone makes a super concentrated single-stroke application- so you won't find a patchy, chalky, or inconsistent shadow anywhere in the Sunday Riley Eye Color range. The additional use of micronized spherical pigments create long wearing color that is always effortless to apply.
In an effort to provide you will the most accurate view of all of the Sunday Riley Prismasilk Eye Color Eye Shadows- I decided to break this into several posts. Each post will consist of a 4-6 eyeshadows following each row in the display case. This is the order selected by Sunday herself- so I thought that there was some wisdom in presenting it as it would be viewed at Barneys. Click on photos to enlarge.
Outback: Light cool dirty mauve with some tan and grey. This has a more matte finish
Siberian Sable: Complex copper brown shimmer
Cloud Cover: Neutral mushroom tan between low shimmer to matte on skin
Fig Leaf: Light to mid-tone green with a touch of sage
Leprechaun: Complex olive bronze shimmer
Casablanca: Mid-tone graphite grey with blue undertones. Most of the swatches appear far more blue than grey.

Just finished at looking at all your swatches up to date. You are E V I L !
ReplyDeleteI do not need another brand addiction. You already have me lemming the foundation. Thank goodness it's not available in Canada! Phew!
I tend to think that as beauty bloggers we enable each other and foster new lemmings more than we do for non-BB! It's a sickness. You sent me down the RBR rabbit hole-- so it's only fair that I offer you a rabbit hole as well ;-) I will try to get the last two e/s posts up quickly. SR is about to expand distribution further so it will be available in Canada. Dermstore is now stocking the line, Sephora has a few of the skincare items, and they are in negotiations with another big retailer-- so it's about to go viral! I have also swatched every lipstick- so I will get that posted in the next few days as well! You aren't as safe as you might think from another lemming! I'm working with them to do several giveaways for my blog readers-- so I'll let you know once something is closer to happening! As soon as I swatched Indigo Waves (shown in Part III Row III) I thought of you and that gorgeous smoldering smokey eye that you did with the L'Oreal Infallible e/s in All Night Blue!! Just sayin'!
DeleteOh you are a temptress! Dermstore has a Canadian partner store eBeauty.ca that does not carry SR yet. If it starts to I'm in TROUBLE!
ReplyDeleteI do believe that trouble is headed your way, PP!! I'm losing my mind about the RBR palettes! I thought I was going to have a little more time to recover from my last 2 RBR hauls!!!! It is times like this that I am thankful that I am basically a tom boy with certain girly vices. I don't spend a lot on clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry. This is my vice!!
DeleteIt's my vice too. I wear the same shoes every day. I don't care about jewelry. I buy one good bag and carry it til it dies. But makeup? Sunday Riley and Rouge Bunny Rouge? Off with my head.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean!! When I go to Barneys I rarely make it off of the first floor! When I was a teenager and I would go shopping with my mom and sister we would Bee-line for the makeup- they would eventually get bored and leave me there and head to other departments. When they were done they would come back and find me where they left me! It is my biggest vice. As you well know- my big three are Sunday Riley, Rouge Bunny Rouge, and Hakuhodo-- and I shudder to think of how much I have spent!!
