I am a silver eyeshadow ho, it's to me what taupe is to most of MUA. MAC Silver Fog pigment had always been about the most metallic true silver i could find, even applied dry; when applied wet it got even better of course. Lately, however, i've been getting a lemming for a super-pigmented, highly metallic PRESSED true silver and when I put the question of finding one to the MUA makeup board, as ever, they delivered amazing recommendations. The most popular rec was a duo from the new-ish Metallic range of the popular L'Oreal HiP duos called, properly, Platinum. Chococat05 had, coincidentally enough, *just* posted a FOTD with it and declared it to be a dupe, if not better than MAC Silver Fog pigment, and she was so right.

I did a couple photos which you see below. You can see that Platinum is the most metallic and the most pigmented of all that i've swatched. Previously, Silver Fog pigment was the best i'd ever found in terms of a knock-you-on-your-rear metallic true silver, but of all things this HiP duo puts the pigment to shame. I got it during a BOGO sale at CVS also so for about $4 for the duo, you can't beat it. The black shade is decent too, better than the black MAC Shadows i've used. It works well with the platinum shade, however it's not the best black shadow i've ever used, (i'm looking at you Sephora Mono matte black)
