Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very fine grind, indirect light displays - beautiful color changes

I've been using chameleon dyes for a long time - before the general market even knew they were a 'thing'. There are many qualities in these paints and I will review them with some examples of use. No powder escaped and the jars seem to seal well. The jars aren't all full, but remember this is by weight, not volume. HOW MUCH IS IN EACH COLOR? When you see the glasses they look pretty full. Keep in mind that most projects require a large amount of product to be effective if you want to change color. DOES IT REALLY CHANGE? I took these pigments and put them in a transparent medium so you can see what they really look like. as in the app. I placed them on black construction paper to better show the color changes. Yes, these move. In fact, they shift very well. I made a composite photo for you so you can see how drastically they change with indirect lighting. They don't show the change very well in sunlight, nor against a very dark background. USESI uses them for personal make-up. I mix my own colors for watercolors and also for acrylics. I'm also experimenting with this in a transparent textile medium to wear black fabric. I've used them in my own lip gloss but be careful with your eyes. Most of them are approved for this purpose but I always test with a makeup product to blend first and also a protective base when it comes to eyes and skin to keep the makeup in place, but also to create a protective barrier on the skin in case of a reaction. For resin, it is best to use silicone mold powder and then pour DARK resin to highlight. Use in soaps I still work with. I like to hang them in a clear melt and pour out the soap, then use an opaque soap tinted black with mica to bring out the swirls of chameleon soap. You can also sprinkle the molds like resin first, but then it washes out the first time you use them, which annoys me even though it's a catchy marketing ploy. This means it takes very little time to create the effect and in fact it works best only on a dark background, or a transparent medium swirls on a dark background. MY RATING IS FIVE STARS. Although it takes quite a while for the effect to kick in, the color change is superb and I'm impressed. I know how expensive it is to make, so it's a fair price for what you get.
