Scorpio the Eighth # R-S40
|
The deepest need of a Scorpio (born 10/24 - 11/21) is the need to transform.
Our Scorpio the Eighth started the week as "Cherry Flambe". But we don't really like the name "Cherry Flambe". So we are changing it to Scorpio the Eighth.
The color is our version of a discontinued mica, Black Cherry. Black Cherry was a best seller for many of our customers. Unfortunately, the manufacturer discontinued it.
After many hours at the blending table, we have come up with Scorpio the Eighth. I think it was actually our 80th attempt to match Black Cherry. We can't call it a "dupe", because it is not. The original Black Cherry is complicated by a couple of elements. The first is its fabulous nearly metallic blue hilites and the second is its deep orangey "back beat" or undertone.
Our replacement, Scorpio the Eighth has elements of both, but is not a perfect match. It is merely the best we can do after many hours of trying.

If you take this color, and put it over a black background, the color changes...It is so pretty. This is my new look! I apply a black eyeliner to my entire lid, then I just pat this color on over it...It turns into a beautiful bluish color..with hints of gold and pinkish colors it looks like. This is my new fave! GREAT job TKB!

| Pretty darn close! |

I didn't think anyone could capture the complexity of Black Cherry but this is as close as one can come. Great job! It's a beautiful and layered color like the original.

| Excellent Duplicate of a complex color |
| By Holly |
While this looks quite different in the package, when you work with it, it's very similar to the original Black Cherry. Impressive, since Black Cherry was extremely unique. Scorpio is a smidge oranger, the iridescence is a teeny bit different, and it's a little bit more opaque, but really really darn close. As a bonus Scorpio lasts way, way, way better on skin than Black Cherry ever did, so it's actually a bit of an improvement in fact. Thanks so much for duplicating Black Cherry so well!
