Beautiful Pigments: About Face "One Broken Stiletto"

Over my years of being a slightly obsessive make up collector, I've ended up with a lit of things that are discontinues, today's Beautiful Pigment is one of those.

The She Space is a company that I bought quite a lot from, they had some pretty good eye shadows (some not so good as well!). I'll be showing some of my favourites in this series. Unfortunately, I don't have any pricing information or a site to link you to as the company is long gone.

One Broken Stiletto is from my favourite collection that The She Space released - Cinderella Dumped Her Fella. The colours in this collection were some of the best that they had offered.


In the jar this is a dark, slightly greyish toned blue with some hints of blue sparkle and shimmer.


This is definitely a pigment that needs to be worn either foiled or over a sticky base, like Pixie Epoxy. When used dry, just over a primer, the greyish base of the colour shows through and some of the complexity of the shade is lost. It needs the sticky primer (or foiling) to pull the pigment together and show the full shimmer. More of the blue shimmer is shown when foiled and the grey base just adds a depth to the colour, rather than overwhelming it.
