It's the Kryolan Aquacolor Day Glow Effects palette!
It comes with six UV-Day Glow (blacklight reactive) shades: UV Violet, UV Pink, UV Yellow, UV Green, UV Orange and UV Blue.Aquacolors are not normal powder shadows or cream shadows. They're like a watercolor paint. A wet brush is needed to apply them.
UV Purple, UV Pink, UV Yellow, UV Green, UV Orange and UV Blue.
One important thing to note about these. These are intended to to be used as special effects makeup, such as face painting or for theater use. They contain neon pigments which are not FDA approved for eye use. The Kryolan website and the palette's packaging do not state that these aren't eye-safe, and I've been told that neon pigment is approved for eye use in other countries, so I'd strongly recommend doing a bit of research before deciding whether or not to use these on your eyes. One reason I've heard for why neons aren't eye-safe is that the particles are large and rough and could potentially scratch the cornea. Another reason I've seen repeated is that neon pigments or dyes (pinks especially) can be irritating or cause allergic reactions.
That said, these aren't the easiest colors to apply, but once in a while they're really fun. When I use them, I usually set them with their corresponding UV Day Glow Powders. That's how I used these when I did my neon green Halloween eyes. I also try to use them over a white or creamy opaque base to give them a little more opacity.
Nothing like a little bit of eye-searing neon color on a dark, cold, gloomy day...

ReplyDeleteAmazing colors! This is why I love kryolan
ReplyDeleteOMG, the orange one is cutting through my eyes... I think I'm blind. Love the purple and pink though.
ReplyDeleteamazing how strong are the colors in addition to being beautiful
ReplyDeleteWOAH those are NEON! I would have no idea how to wear them!
ReplyDeleteThese neons look like so much fun to wear, and I loved your green eye look. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY for another person who likes neons even in the winter! :) I love wearing neon nail polish to cheer me up during gloomy days. (I don't have any neon make-up, or I'd try it, too.)
Hope you're doing well, Scrangie!

ReplyDeleteThats very cool. Definitely the right day for this (its super foggy and cold where I am. I love neon anything, especially cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteWow... wat a pretty, bright colors! Can't wait to see what you're doing with it... :D
ReplyDeleteDo some eyes with them!
ReplyDeleteO.o Pretty! Thx for mentioning that pinks can be irritating. Yeah I really wanted pink highlighter eyes. Both my eyes swelled shut the same day. No pink neon eyes for me. :(
ReplyDeleteDang! Thanks for the free radiation therapy!
ReplyDeleteI have been using this palette on my lids for a few years now, they have never caused irritation or any other sort of problem, I usually use them as a base when I'm doing rainbow eyes, and i've used the pink, orange, and yellow to do some really sick 'fire' eyes. They're great. I also purchased the black and white aquacolors, the black works perfectly for a jet black eyeliner, and the white is a perfect base for any shadow you want to intensify the look of. I love Kryolan<33
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the amazing looks you could do.
ReplyDeleteScrangie, have you ever experimented with using these powders on your nails? I've seen folks use MAC pigments (and others that I can't name on the spot) both to mix single-use frankens and to apply with a dry brush over/into wet polish. Have always wondered about Kryolan, as it seems so saturated.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of trying that! I have mixed bottles of clear polish with MAC pigments, but never as a single use application. I'm not sure it will work with these. They're creams that need to be activated with water to apply, and water plus wet nail polish equals disaster. I could try painting them onto my nail, letting them dry, and then covering them with topcoat, that could work...
