***Silk Mica is natural and is similar to sericite mica, but it is silkier, whiter, and offers a soft, smooth texture.
***Boron Nitride is a soft, silky, white mineral powder that adds slip and adhesion to a product. Boron Nitride is soft, adds supreme creaminess to the powder, and is a natural, inert mineral.
***Carnauba Wax Mica is Sericite Mica that has been surface treated with Carnauba Wax; the wax coating helps bind the particles, so the formulas have less fly away when pressed.
***Titanium Dioxide is a natural mineral used to whiten, and it makes a product more opaque.
***Magnesium Stearate is a chemical compound of Magnesium (element, same as in vitamins) and Stearate (plant-derived).
***Magnesium Myristate is the combination of Magnesium (a mineral) and Myristate, a fatty acid (naturally occurring). Magnesium Myristate will add adhesion, slip, a soft feel, and will help to repel water.
***Zinc Stearate is made from natural and essential raw materials.
***Fractionated Coconut Oil (we use this to bind our powders) - fraction of coconut oil comprised mainly of Capric and Caprylic Acid, thus giving it more of an antioxidant and disinfecting effect. Fractionated Coconut Oil has a long shelf life, stability, and rancidity resistance.
***Colored Micas add color, shimmer, and shine to the product.
***Nylon12 is a powder we use to help with slip in some of our deeper, more pigmented shades.
***Oxides are natural minerals and add color to the product; they also help to make the product opaque.
***Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, Hexylene Glycol - Preservative we use to preserve our eyeshadows and make them last longer.

Goes with ANY Color
I love this shade. It isn’t completely brown nor is it completely gray but a perfect in between and it goes with everything. I love it with browns, pinks, purples, other shades a of grey. Works wonderfully with any of the shimmer/shiny pressed pigments. A great neutral!

Cool tone
I used this shade as a transition - I'm medium to dark tone and even though it applies pretty light, built up it pairs well with both cool and warm shades. I picked it up because it's hard to find very cool shades and this is one of them. I used this with Turtle doves and they both went well together.

Not brown
This is not a brown eyeshadow. It is a cool light gray. They need to remove this to the right category. Other than that, it's a nice shadow

Parallax
I bought this expecting more of a cool matte brown, but really as one review posted..it is more of a lavender greige on my fair medium with olive undertone skin tone...I love it, but it is more along the lines of winter wonder on me...it is a gorgeous base shadow for me...I love this with embrace in the crease and the violet shimmer or Rome in the center of the lid. Happy wit it!!!

Natural
Although I usually avoid brown eyeshadows, even those designated as cool toned, I noticed that swatches of this shade seemed to have a lavender undertone, so I took the risk. There is definitely more going on here than brown. It reminds me of another brand's discontinued "All Races" eyeshadow, which was a light lavender greige. Here the lavender is very subtle and may not show up on all skin tones, but I detect that whisper of lavender on my pink-porcelain skin. The pigment is smooth and long lasting, subtle and pretty, but it's not my best, as it can dull my green eyes (blue greys and dusty lavenders best suit me). Nevertheless, I want to extend my appreciation for Sydney Grace's color descriptions and stock images, which are as described. How my skin will broadcasts any particular color is the risk I am willing to take in a blind buy. I really love this brand.
