Evil Shades – Mythology Collection Swatches

By on August 29, 2010

With my most recent order from Evil Shades I ordered Ravishing (an orange-coral blush with violet iridescence that Andrea made for me!), Astraea’s Embrace, Karta, Wanderflower and Zombie. Andrea was very sweet and sent me samples of her new Mythology collection, so I’ve swatched them for you. I really think that this is the most complex collection that Andrea has blended up yet!

My favorites in this collection are:
Sylph, Nixies, Drakon, Kharon, Valkyries, Moirae and Zombie.
However, Sylph wins out against everything else fo rme. That color just has me mesmerized!

Shade Descriptions:
Valkyries – A light dusty neutral pink pearlescent. (perfect highlight color)
Xanthus – A soft taupe with subtle shimmer (another great highlight)
Gryphon – A rich chocolate brown with a strong violet shimmer
Wyvern – A light minty green with crisp apple green sparkle
Dryad – Forest green with an Icey twinkle throughout
Sylph – Light powdery teal with a pink shift
Succubus – Medium rose base with copper/gold shimmer
Phoenix – Ash gray with firey orange and red glitter
Cerberus – Deep burgundy with fuschia sparkle
Moirae – Medium purple with multi color shimmer. Rubs down to a lilac with light explosion.
Nixies – Blue based purple with a grassy green shift
Kharon – Navy blue with majestic purple sparkle
Drakon – Medium blue green with gold, green and pink shimmer and a wine base that flashes through.

    I love Andrea’s new card! I just purchased 3 from the collection on Saturday so your swatches came in perfect time. Although, now I want more. haha

      The glosses are nice and pigmented! Sylph just wows me.

      Oooh! What did you order? What custom things? I’m dying to know :)

      • Mika chan August 30, 2010 at 10:52 pm #

        That red blush she added to the site was a request from me. I also asked for a dolly pink perfect for my skin tone, and a red eyeshadow with a blue shift. I also ordered a sample of your coral/purple blush, samples of the Stars collection, Venom Wicked Gloss, and Carna Liquid Sin. I’m kinda excited, lol

    • Phyrra August 30, 2010 at 4:06 pm #

      What would you wear with Wyvern?

      • Parched August 30, 2010 at 4:08 pm #

        Zombie for a night look. Ravishing or Valkyries for a day look. I go pretty bright during the day though.

        Valkyries didn’t swatch like much, but I bet I would love to wear it. I’m a pushover for pinks.

          Valkyries looks like a highlighter or inner lid shade to me.

          • Parched August 30, 2010 at 5:18 pm #

            Okay, so what about Valkyries on the inner v, Wyvern on the lid and a plummy purple liner up top and a blue on the bottom lash line? A softer purple in the crease.

    OMG! So many gorgeous colors! :)
    I really like Dryad, Moirae, Wanderflower, Gryphon and Drakon. And I have to stop looking at your swatches because I’m sure I’d decide soon that I need them all :D

  15. Minou August 30, 2010 at 12:07 pm #

    Can’t wait to try out Wyvern and Cerberus, next order I will! I got a sample of Wanderflower and it looks GORGEOUS with Reondite! My next order will include a full size of Reondite for sure! Have you tried the stars collection yet? I got Elf star as a freebie and it is SOOOO pretty!

    • Phyrra August 30, 2010 at 4:07 pm #

      Wanderflower, Reondite and Sylph are three colors I want to try together.

    First I had my eyes on Drakon & Phoenix. Now that I see the swatches I really want Zombie. Astraea’s Embrace is definately on my wishlist too! It’s beautiful by itself & I want to see how it willl look layered over some of my reds.

    • Phyrra September 1, 2010 at 10:20 pm #

      Yeah Zombie is a neat color for fall, I think :)

  17. Kimberly August 30, 2010 at 10:13 pm #

    Would it be wrong of me to want these just because of the names? ;) Well, that, AND I love the colors. OMG!!! I’d have a ton of fun playing with these.
