I do all my best online shopping late at night… when no-one else is around. Those two facts may or may not be connected.
I made a long-overdue Shiro Cosmetics order a few weeks ago and frankly, couldn’t be happier with my choices! I don’t know about you but when it comes to posts like these… I just wanna see the swatches, so without further ado – here’s what I bought with official descriptions included. These have all been applied with a damp brush.
Team Rocket: Shimmery red-toned purple (I get more of a muted greyed purple with a red undertone)
There Will be Cake: Shimmery chocolate brown with cherry sparks
S.S. Anne: Universally flattering, shimmery, subtle-yet-rich champagne with a peachy-copper tinge
Rattata: Vivid opaque bright purple with shimmery blue undertones
Party Escort: Shimmery blackened silver with lots of red sparks
Master Sword: Super-glittery pale taupe – a blend of silver and gold, with bright silver sparks
Veran: Super-dark blue-black loaded with aqua and purple sparks
Because We Can: Super-bright shimmery hot pink with flashes of silver
Mewtwo: Sheer, shimmery, medium purple with blue tones
Unsatisfactory Mark: Pure bold crimson with light shimmer
Golem: Rich, opaque brown with strong silver-gray shimmer
Still Alive: Cool, bright shimmery green with a subtle green-to-pink duochrome shift and lime glitter
Everything Is Bears: Rich, dark brown packed with gold glitter and red sparks
Beta: Shimmery blackened emerald
Your Best Friend: Shimmery grey-pink with strong pink glitter
Ganondorf: Velvety black with strong dark red shimmer
Weepinbell: Shimmery chartreuse with subtle green duochrome
Midna: Shimmery medium gray packed with bold aqua sparks
Oshus: Dark ocean blue, with boatloads of gold glitter
Test Subject: Bold, shimmery burnt orange
Epona: Soft velvety brown with a misty cream overlay
Outright Fabrication: Soft shimmery white with bold flecks of red and brown
It’s nice to be back playing amongst my piggies… I haven’t made a big order like this since the She Space had their closing down sale!
Do you have any favourite Shiro Cosmetics shades?
♥ Shiro – It’s nice that you dip into Indie Makeup, there’s some totally amazing stuff out there… Since I have started buying Indie, the high street makeup counters have never looked so dull and uninteresting !

oohhh nooo I must go grab some more colors from Shiro!! Your swatches a beautiful as always! I have several samples from her different collections except her latest one. It’s hard to pick a favorite from her colors.. I love Din’s fire (I believe that’s the nane).
I’m interested in her Heart Containers… but their aren’t any swatches besides her own so I haven’t bought any yet.

Those look amazing! I hate loose pigments thought. I’ve thought of ordering products like these from other companies and pressing them all. It’s the only way I’d use them. So much work and time though

Love Shiro Cosmetics! I wear S.S Anne practically every day :S I apply a bit of pixie epoxie on the lid, pop S.S Anne over the top, blend out past the crease and slick on a good dose of black eyeliner. Perfect ‘everyday but a bit glam’ look! Definitely want Party Escort and There Will Be Cake now…

Oh em eff gee! I’d never heard of Shiro before but I am drooling over my keyboard now, and my wicked shopaholic heart is saying ‘Buy, buy buy!’
The sample sizes are a brilliant way to try out new shades.
Thanks for bringing Shiro into my life

…8D My oldest cat’s name is Shiro! I’ve never heard of this brand, but the amazing pigmentation and the ADORABLE names (it took me a while to confirm that there WERE pokemon names) makes me want to try it out.

Your swatches are gorgeous, Charlotte! So glad to see Shiro getting some love. Their eyeshadows are amazing!
I’m not the biggest fan of Pixie Epoxy, but Shiro’s shadows go on beautifully with a damp brush and some (the shimmery ones with no glitter or sparks) are just as lovely dry.
I have quite a few colors as the pricing is so reasonable, but my favorites from the latest collection are:
Subject Name Here;
Shall Not Be Mourned;
There Will Be Cake.
Phyrra’s got some great swatches of Shiro stuffs, too. http://phyrra.net
