Duochrome eyeshadows & pigments
Is there a list somewhere available that says what all the duochrome eyeshadows and pigments are? I mean eyeshadows or pigments that reflect 2 colours, for example Blue Brown, or Expensive Pink or Club for example. The MAC website does not have that as a separate category.
I think these are the prettiest eyeshadows.
Or can you all just list which ones you know of?

I know that some e/s like tilt where signed as a duochrome, but I don't knowif it still is. when you put the arrow on the colorswatch, it said Tilt, Frost (duochrome) maybe if you search the site it might give a list.

Re: Duochrome eyeshadows & pigments
Old Gold! One of my favourites... and tho it's really pale and some may not count it, Rite of Spring... maybe Steamy, with its gold reflects? And Cornflower, with its pinkish reflects (iirc from reviews, I don't have it myself).. that's all I can think of other than what's been mentioned.

Re: Duochrome eyeshadows & pigments
The whitish one, Quick Frost, from Rushmetal is a duochrome, isn't it? White with green undertones.

I don't think that Entremauve is a duochrome, I never see any other color reflect.

neither is grape, cornflower, sunpepper or steel blue.
vapour and parfait amour aren't either, even tho they say they are on the site.
lucky green and parrot are not duochromes.

Re: Duochrome eyeshadows & pigments
I beg to differ on cornflower - it has a very pretty red reflect to it, and the same with steel blue, it almost looks green under certain light
Grape/Entremauve also has a very pretty red - though I think sometimes that it may be more apparent on others, the issue with pearl can be subject to opinion as well. I dont consider Quick Frost a duochrome for example because I really dont see any green contrast, it certianly isnt decribed as a duochrome however it is described as having green pearl and to others this is seemingly obvious...LOL!

I think the pigment with the green undertones from Rushmetal that they are thinking of my be Cocomotion or Copperized! I can't remember which ones has the green in it....i'm on my laptop & too lazy to get out of bed! I just checked some pics & descriptions on eBay and they both have that olive green tone to it! I'm not sure if those two are duochromes though.
I thought Sunpepper & Copperclast were duochromes! They are so pretty!

Why wouldn't cornflower, vapour, and parfait amour be considered duochromes?

I would assume that it isn't a duochrome because it is perriwinkle with a violet shimmer/frost, not a metallic reflective second color.

exactly. just cause something has different colored shimmer, doesn't make it duochrome. what makes it a duochrome is when its one color one way, then at a different angle its another color. for example, vellum is white when applied on your skin. but when you look at it at a different angle, its blue/violet. it doesn't have blue/violet shimmer/frost to it, it actually changes color to blue/violet. same with stars n' rockets. its pink one way, purple the other. grape/entremauve are purple with red shimmer/flecks. if it were a duochrome, it would be purple at one angle and then change to red at a different one, but it doesn't. steel blue is kinda difficult. the color doesn't change, however, you do see all the colors of its dirty tea/blue/green, just not at different angles.
