Concrete Minerals was the first mineral makeup company I purchased from. Back then they sold through Etsy, but nowadays they have their own online store and have more colours and some lip products too. I gathered all my Concrete Minerals shadows and swatched them, I still use them often and like the colours a lot!

Concrete Minerals uses jars with black lids. |
Here are pictures of every shadow in its jar. The shades tend to show up a bit darker than in real life.

From left to right, top to bottom: Lolita, Sabotage, Smut, Jezebel, Kismet, Zealous, Arsenic, Prude and Doe-eyed |
Lolita - a light taupe with a metallic sheen
Sabotage - black with multicolored shimmer. Like a toned-down version of Sugarpill Stella, this one is better for everyday wear because it's less glittery.
Smut - A medium taupe with red sheen and shimmer.
Jezebel - A plum purple with some red shimmer. Very usable.
Kismet - A light warm pink with pink shimmer.
Zealous - A very bright turquoise, shimmery.
Arsenic - This is listed a purple, but it's borderline between purple and brown if you ask me. It the same depth as Jezebel, but clearly more reddish and has some shimmer.
Prude - A very light pink, good for highlighting and very shimmery.
Doe-eyed - A warm, dark brown. Matte base with just a hint of matching shimmer. Works well with green eyes, one of my favourites!

Juvenile, Temptress, Croma, Unity and Infinity |
Juvenile - A really hard colour to photograph, Juvenile is a light yellowish green.
Temptress - A dark blue-green colour with matching shimmer. Fades to a forest green if blended for long.
Croma - A light lavender lilac matte base with some white shimmer.
Unity - A blue based medium purple with white and gold shimmer. Goes well with Croma.
Infinity - This is a colour I didn't even remember owning. It like a lighter version of Temptress in real life.
I've also had Mad Hatter, but it was very similar to Arsenic so I gave it away, and I got Hearts for my boyfriend. Hearts is a warm, rusty red and he likes it very much. I really like the browns and taupes, Lolita, Smut and Doe-eyed are very pretty and I've used them a lot. I have been satisfied with the quality, and the full size jars are just huge, I doubt I'll ever use one up!
These look great, and I'd never heard of the brand. I'll have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely recommend them! The full sizes are huge and the formula is very nice.
DeleteOh man, love Arsenic! Yet another brand I need to try out. :)
ReplyDeleteFunny, Arsenic in probably my least favourite of the colours ;P
DeleteLolita is a favorite of mine :) Love all the teals, too!
ReplyDeleteLolita is super pretty!
DeleteArsenic looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love Concrete Minerals! I just tried them recently, and I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with the formula. I don't know if they have the smaller sizes available (I think they were called deluxe samples), but I really like the amount of product you get.
DeleteThank you all! :)
