Medusa, the snake-haired woman of Greek Mythology, is the symbol of female power and rage. In the Roman poet Ovid's telling, Medusa was once a beautiful maiden, 'the jealous aspiration of many suitors'. She was punished by Athena and turned into a monster so grotesque, one look at her would turn a man to stone. According to mythology, Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who used the mirror reflection of his shield to battle Medusa without looking at her directly. But Medusa's potency only begins when her head is severed...
Medusa magic dust is an intense, non-chalky black with a twist: amidst the darkness, blue steel star bursts create a lovely sheen. This eyeshadow is essential for the smokey eye look, and can even be used as eyeliner, if applied wet.
