Swatches: Shiro Cosmetics


Everyone's been talking about Shiro Cosmetics lately, particularly the Intertubes, lip tint/lipsticks named after internet memes.

This isn't a review as I haven't really used any of this stuff properly, I just thought I'd show you the swatches and give my initial impression, which to be honest isn't much.


 Bulbasaur, Golem, Budew

Rickrolled, Three Wolf Moon, Over 9000

Pros
  • Cheap.
  • Reasonable shipping cost and time (mine took about two weeks to arrive).
  • Lip colours are nice, particularly Rickrolled.
  • You can buy samples of everything, including lip colours.

Cons
  • Eyeshadow colours aren't that highly pigmented.
  • The lids don't fit back on the jars properly.
  • The lip colours are difficult to apply evenly. 
  • Three Wolf Moon has cinnamon in it and stings like hell. 
  • There's nothing unique about any of it, with the possibly exception of Rickrolled.
Golem, Bulbasaur, Budew - no primer

Golem, Bulbasaur, Budew, over Detrivore primer. 

Over 9000

Rickrolled

Three Wolf Moon

Thanks as usual to my helper Noodles!

    did you take the sifters out of the eyeshadows? I had hell getting a decent color out until I took the sifters out. they're packed in too tight!

    No, I was going to because it's hard to get enough product out, but the lids don't go on tightly. I might have to decant them.

    I'm going to get mine out tomorrow I swear, I bought them before I moved then packed them and haven't played with them still. Can't even remember which colours I have mm, I still want intertubes though (especially sad keanu)

    My first impression of Shiro was similar...not very pigmented. That said, over primer, they really pop and are some of my favorite shadows!

    I just got another Shiro order, and I can't wait to swatch and compare 'first impressions' with you Dee. Love the look of the intertubes on the lips!
