BOUDICCA - eyeshadow
Boudicca is a strong plummy/russet brown, with complex highlight effects of green/gold and blue/teal.
* re-released version has a more intense shift and full sizes will have a custom Ignis Antiquita label.
Boudicca was the warrior Queen of the Celtic Iceni, also known as "Boadicea" to the Romans. To this day, they are still unearthing the charred skulls of Romans from anthropological sites in England. Rome chose the wrong woman to mess with. Boudicca was a force of nature, and "one of the few people in history to have a statue of themselves prominently displayed in a city they're famous for burning to the ground."
Her color is a strong plummy/russet brown, with vivid multichrome effects of green/gold and blue/teal.

The name "Ignis Antiquita" is beautifully representative of the sentiment behind this collection. It is Latin, and translates to English as "Ancient Fire" or "Fire of Old". Ignis is fire- as it relates to the fiery spirit and passion. Antiquita is old, ancient, time-honored, revered, primeval. The collection features women from ancient times, spanning many cultures and areas. While not everyone spoke Latin, it is undoubtedly one of the most widely spoken languages of the ancient world, which many current day languages are rooted in.
APPLICATION TIPS: These colors apply best over a light layer of primer, patted or brushed gently. The effects of the colors become muted if you use heavy primer or a strong glue/epoxy type of primer- or foiling. Best effects are achieved with a light layer of a primer such as Nyx or Two Faced eyeshadow primer. Repeated brushing or buffing will also mute the chromatic effects. You can use them without primer, but the chromatic effects will be more delicate and only visible in certain lighting.
INGREDIENTS: Mica (CI 77019), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), May contain: (Silica (+) Bronze/Copper/Aluminum Powder), Ferric Oxide (CI 77491), Ferric Ferrocyanide (CI 77510), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Manganese Violet (CI 77742), Chromium Oxide (CI 77288), Tin Oxide (CI 77861)

IGNIS ANTIQUITA is a permanent collection of eyeshadows inspired by the amazing, fiery, passionate, strong women who have been largely forgotten in our history books, or had their histories revised due to the fact that they were women. Historically seen as the weaker sex, women were typically unable to contribute to politics, academia, science, or war.
