These few month,we hear a lot more about duochromes and multichromes than we used to.

But what are the duochromes?

How are they different from multichromes?

We’ll answer these question today. Let’s just get the short answer out there.

What Is Duochrome Eyeshadow?

Duochrome eyeshadow is made with pigments that, depending on how the light hits, can appear to be two different colors. Some common duochrome eyeshadow shifts are blue to brown or blue to green. Usually, these shifts are called reflects, flashes, or flips.

The only difference between duochromes and multichromes is that multichromes have more than two colors they can reflect to. The difference between regular shadows and duochromes  is that the regular shadow, even if it’s quite dimensional or has multicolored glitter, can’t fully flash to another color.

For example,duochrome is so different from metallic. Metallic shadow is a metal color, usually one tone,such as silver or gold. They do come in a bunch of different colors, but always a solid color. On the contrary , duochrome shadows appear as two colors. You can just think of duochrome shadows as taffeta fabric, which can look like different colors depending on the light.
