***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.

The swatches on deeper skin are by the very talented Riply. She was so kind to swatch all of our shadows so you can tell what our shades look like on a deeper skin tone (she wears Estee Lauder's Amber Honey in foundation).

Unpredictable
Beautiful shadow that swatches on my arm as purple, but unfortunately turns more pink on my eyelids (with neutral primer). I find most colors turn warm on my fair skin, so I try for cool tones to offset it. I think the website swatches could do with a makeover. I found the reviews better at describing the color of SG shadows than the site description. I'd buy more shadows from SG, if I could actually tell more closely what they look like.

Pretty purple (a little mauvy)
Very nice opaque purple shade. Not light lilac, more dusky looking. Smooth, maybe a little dusty. Easy to swatch on skin.

Nice midtone neutral mauve
This one can be used as an outer corner shade for me, paired with Haven. Can also act as a transition shade for a bolder/smokier look on lighter skin tones , or as a great transition for deeper skin tones I imagine. I will note that I got this and Predictable and find them both very similar. You might not need both. Unpredictable is a little deeper. Quality is unbeatable.

Top Favorite!
I have to say that I really love all the lovely eyeshadow shades I recently purchased from Sydney Grace, but Unpredictable is definitely a top favorite! I love purples and this does not disappoint!

Unpredictable
First of all, it's soo gorgeous in real life, it's sort of a plummy-mauvie-kinda colour, very unique. Excellent quality that we all hear so much about. Color pay off is great, so smooth and blendable. It's a winner for any eye color - especially for green eyes. Glad I added it to my collection, it's a keeper.

True color
True color payoff. These shadows have become my favorite.

Unpredictible
Not sure what I was expecting here... From the photo it looks brown almost terracotta in Instagram YouTube it looked more purple and description says lavender mauve so I was hoping for a mauve purple shade but it's a plum red on my skin tone. This is not what I was looking for but the quality is good and blends well.

Now it's amazing!
SG reformulated this and sent it to me again out of the blue and it is perfect. Just as great, opaque, and easy to use now as their other mattes.

Not usual SG greatness
I have over a hundred SG shadows and have always found them to be consistent. I feel like the mattes almost have a creamy sort of thick consistency. This one is different. SG replaced mine with a second one after the original one I was sent was pressed too hard to get any pigment out of. Then they made a new batch and sent me a new one. This one I am able to pick up on a brush but it's weird. It's thinner in consistency than other mattes I have from them. When I go to swatch it (I don't put stock in swatches, but in this case it does matter) it picks up on my finger but won't really transfer off of it and it does something similar with a brush. You can pick it up on a brush (tried natural and synthetic) but it doesn't really want to come off again so it goes on patchy. It takes a lot of building and a lot of blending to get it to not be patchy, but you can smooth it out eventually. It's a pretty mauvey color, but it does live up to the name it is indeed upredictable. I've never had any problems with SG shadows until this last order that I made during the big sale when a ton of the site went on preorder including this shade. The other reviews on this shade are rave so maybe it was just them being under the gun with the sale that affected the shadow quality.
