Review

     I am not entirely sure what propelled me to buy this particular duo, although I am guessing it's because I like Yuna and because I thought Tidus x Yuna were really cute. I am certainly a huge fan of gold eyeshadows so I definitely love Tidus. In the jar, Tidus looks very different, almost like a pale brown with gold shimmer. But when you apply it, it is actually more metallic and it is definitely more of a bronze gold. It is not visible in the swatch, but  Tidus has this darker brown cast at certain angles, and it starts to look more like it does in the jar. But the light makes it a vibrant metallic color.

     Yuna, on the other hand, is a very light and girly pink. It has some lavender undertones and tons of sparkles. I felt that this color represented her very nicely! Not only is it similar to the pink in her kimono/dress, it also is symbolizing of her kindhearted nature. I actually like Yuna much more than I thought I would. It is a pale pink, but not too pale or too overwhelming. It also has a good amount of purple undertones that it won't be too pink. The color has a brightening effect and the sparkles add an extra bit of glam to the eyes. Very beautiful color, especially for those who don't like bright colors.

     As far as pigmentation is concerned, they are both very buildable. They can be used as a sheer wash of color or as more pigmented and bold colors (like in the swatches). I didn't have any problems with application. Like I said, both colors can be very versatile in wear.
 Overall, I feel that these colors would be best for people who like neutral/understated colors.
