Colours on the Verge

MAC Colours on the Verge Veluxe Pearlfusion Eyeshadow Palette ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette with five, shimmery shades ranging fro minty green to deep black.

Per MAC, the formula is supposed to be “long-wearing [for] 8 hours’ that is “crease-proof” and “fade-proof.” The eyeshadows “can be used wet or dry” and have “flexible coverage.” The eyeshadows tended to be semi-sheer to semi-opaque when applied dry and then intensified to semi-opaque to opaque coverage when applied with a dampened brush. The textures were soft, somewhat powdery in the pan, so using them with a dampened brush usually yielded the best results–more even coverage, richer coverage, smoother textures, and a better overall look.

Pinky

Pinky is a bright, medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage both dry and damp, but the dampened application made the color appear brighter and slightly more pearly. The texture was soft, loosely packed in the pan, and had some excess product kicked up in the pan, so dampened brushes were best to minimize fallout and getting the most even coverage on the lid. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Smokes

Smokes is a medium purple with warm, pink undertones and a satin shimmer. It had sheer pigmentation when applied with a dry brush, and it had a tendency to sheer out a bit due to the dustier texture. The color payoff was nearly opaque when I applied the eyeshadow with a dampened brush, though it was not quite as blendable as other shades in the palette when used damp. On me, it started to fade after seven and a half hours of wear.

Charcoal

Charcoal is a dark black with neutral undertones and larger flecks of silver sparkle over a more satin-like finish. It had semi-sheer coverage applied dry that did not build up beyond that, and it was opaque when applied with a dampened brush. The texture was soft, finely-milled, but a little dusty in the pan, so there was some fallout during application. It lasted for seven and a half hours but had fallout over time due to the large sparkles that did not really adhere to the lid/bind with the powder.

Debauched

NARS Debauched Duo Eyeshadow ($35.00 for 0.14 oz.) features a warm plum and a blackened purple. The two have enough contrast in finish and depth to work well together for a very deep, smoky eye. Both shades applied well for me and were nicely pigmented!

Debauched (Right)

Debauched (Right) is a blackened purple–almost black in its base color–with faint teal and violet micro-shimmer. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single, and the consistency had a very finely-milled, velvety feel to it. There was a bit of powderiness in the pan, but it applied exceptionally well to the lid. The eyeshadow blended out with ease and went on evenly, which was a surprise given my experience with NARS’ formula and the intensity of the color itself. This shade wore well for eight hours.

Love Game

NARS Love Game Man Ray Eyeshadow Palette (£45.00 for 0.60 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette exclusively for international retailers (non-US). It’s supposed to launch officially today, and I’ve spotted it on SpaceNK (UK) thus far. There were two shades in the palette that were disappointing, though one was more workable than the other; the rest were quite good and one of NARS’ better eyeshadow palette offerings. I definitely wish this one was making its way to the US, too!

Lady Killer

Lady Killer is a light beige with warm, yellow undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer with a soft, smooth consistency that wasn’t powdery but had more substance to it, which helped it apply well to bare skin without losing its coverage. This shade stayed on well for seven and a half hours.

Tryst

Tryst is a bright, medium gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was denser and more cream-like, and a little went a long way as it was incredibly pigmented. I found a flat, synthetic brush worked best for applying the eyeshadow evenly to bare skin rather than a fluffier brush. On me, it started to crease after eight and a half hours of wear.

Montparnasse

NARS Montparnasse Duo Eyeshadow ($35.00 for 0.14 oz.) includes a warm gold and a medium, plummy brown. The left side was lovely–pigmented, easy to use, long-wearing–but the right side had a disastrous texture: stiff, firm, and required jabbing and pushing to get powder to dislodge from the surface. Given the price point and that it only contains two shades, I couldn’t recommend this one.

Montparnasse (Left)

Montparnasse (Left) is a bright, medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a frosted sheen. It had excellent pigmentation with a soft, slightly dense texture that wasn’t powdery nor was it too firmly packed in the pan, so it was still blendable and easy to work with. The eyeshadow wore well for eight hours before fading slightly.

Montparnasse (Right)

Montparnasse (Right) is a medium, plummy brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage with a very firm, stiff texture that was a struggle to use. I had to dig myb rush into the pan and jab at the surface to get enough product to transfer onto my brush. It applied unevenly to my lid and had to be buffed in quite a bit to make it look decent in practice. This shade lasted for seven hours on me.

Heavy Metals

Urban Decay Heavy Metals Metallic Eyeshadow Palette ($55.00 for 0.60 oz.) is a new, limited edition holiday offering that includes 20 eyeshadows. The new formula was developed to “bump up the foiled effect” and have a “velvety feel” with “insane color payout and shiny metallic effects” that ‘blends like a dream.”

Overall, the eyeshadows felt a bit denser and smoother with less powderiness/excess product kicked up in the pan compared to the average Urban Decay eyeshadow but not like so far removed that they don’t feel like shimmery, powder eyeshadows. I only found one shade to be truly disappointing, which was Angelfire, as it was more like a semi-sheer glitter-bomb than a standalone eyeshadow. There were a few others that had room for improvement but most were quite nice and easy to work with.

I would expect that this palette’s impact would be maximized by combining it with your favorite mattes and satins rather than using only the shades in the palette, as they are all shimmery. It’s just not going to be a standalone palette for anyone who typically uses mattes in their looks.

The packaging is certainly different from a lot of palettes, though it felt unnecessarily wide due to the mirror sandwiched between the two panels of eyeshadow. I found it to feel cumbersome, and the slickness of the packaging itself made it harder to hold, so I’m not even sure how practical the mirror being in the middle actually ended up being (for me).

Bass

Bass is a rich bronze with warm undertones and dirty gold shimmer finish. The color payoff was intense and opaque in a single layer, while the texture was incredibly smooth and blendable. It wasn’t too firmly pressed in the pan but it didn’t have any excess powder kicked up in the pan either. This shade lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

Demo

Demo is a deep brown with warm, rosy undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had opaque coverage with a moderately dense, slightly chunkier texture as there were larger sparkles in it beyond the metallic sheen. The eyeshadow applied fairly well to bare skin, but it did have the type of texture that applied better with a dampened brush. The color stayed on well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

Starfire

Starfire is a medium, orange-copper with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was a bit drier and thinner compared to the other shades in the palette, so it did not apply as well to bare skin as it had a tendency to look a bit patchy. With a dampened brush, it applied beautifully, though. On me, it lasted for eight hours.

Acoustic

Acoustic is a light-medium, golden pewter with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The payoff was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was denser and a bit more firmly pressed in the pan, so it did require a denser brush but also worked particularly well with synthetics (I find synthetics often break up powders better but as a result, can cause softer formulations to get very messy). This shade wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Punk Rock

Punk Rock is a medium-dark, pinky plum with warmer, orange undertones and a frosted sheen. It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly to the lid. The consistency was soft, slightly dense but more like the brand’s typical shimmer eyeshadows to me. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Mullet

Mullet is a medium-dark green with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good color payoff in a single layer, though the consistency was a bit thinner and not as cream-like as others in the palette, so I felt like I had to use a slightly heavier hand to get the coverage out of this shade. It blended out nicely and lasted for eight hours on me.

Amp

Amp is a medium, bluish-teal with cool undertones and a frosted sheen. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer with a soft, slightly firm texture–I felt like it had a similar density to the others but was drier in a way, so it worked best with a flat, synthetic brush for maximum coverage and blendability. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Twisted is a medium, dirty gold with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The color payoff was excellent, while the consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable with a slightly looser feel overall (at least, compared to others in the palette–it was still a bit denser than the average eyeshadow). It stayed on well for eight and a half hours but had a smidgen of fallout over time.

Gold Palette

Guerlain Gold Palette Holiday 2017 Palette ($80.00 for 0.50 oz.) is a new, limited edition eye and cheek palette that contains six eyeshadows and two blushes. Per the brand, the eyeshadows can be used dry for a “natural finish” or wet for a “lustrous result.” The brand specifically mentioned that “the golden shadow can be applied alone or as a topcoat.” They did not call out any of the other eyeshadows, and there was another exceptionally sheer shade (golden beige). The two matte shades did not work well damp (seemed to darken the pan permanently), so I would only advise using the shimmery shades with a dampened brush unless dampening the brush after picking up the powder. The blushes need to have their oversprays removed or else they feel gritty; the underlying powders were fine after that. It’s not the worst palette I’ve tested, and if you’re someone who uses your shimmery eyeshadows damp already, then it might work well for you. If you prefer using your eyeshadows dry, then this one was a real mess to use and wear.

Gold Palette #3

Gold Palette #3 is a sparkling, medium gold with warm, orange undertones and a metallic finish. Applied dry, it had sheer coverage with a chunky texture that had tons of fallout, while applied damp, it had more opaque coverage and held together better. There was still a bit of fallout during dampened application, but it lasted a lot better–seven hours–while dry application constantly dropped product throughout a five-hour wear time.

Gold Palette #4 is a sheer, golden beige with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It was somewhat buildable from sheer to medium coverage applied dry, but it was much more opaque, smoother, and easier to work with using a dampened brush as it was just too loose otherwise. It lasted for seven hours damp, three hours dry (lots of fallout!).

Joya

Natasha Denona Joya Eyeshadow Palette 5 ($48.00 for 0.40 oz.) is a new, limited edition holiday offering that features a new formula–the brand’s “cream-powder hybrid shadow.” The new formula is supposed to have “pigment-rich coverage of a cream” with the “long-lasting, crease-free wear of a powder.” From what I could tell, this just meant a slightly denser feel with less dustiness/powderiness but wasn’t anything outside of normal range in texture for a powder eyeshadow. Most of the shades had good, buildable pigmentation and were blendable on the lid with eight to nine hour wear and minor fallout (three shades are quite sparkly).

Peach Gold (135DC)

Peach Gold (135DC) is a medium-dark pink with warm, coppery shimmer and sparkle. The pigmentation was good, though it wasn’t quite opaque, and the consistency was loose, slightly chunky, and more prone to sheering out on the skin. I felt like this was a shade that had to be used with fingertips or with a dampened brush to help smooth and even out the coverage on the lid. It wore well for eight and a half hours with slight falllout over time.

Fuchsia (136CP)

Fuchsia (136CP) is a rich, medium-dark raspberry pink with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque color coverage with a smooth, somewhat firm texture that needed a dense brush or a heavier hand to achieve full coverage. I was surprised, however, that it blended out rather easily–even with fluffy, soft brushes–once in place on the lid. It had more medium, buildable coverage with a less dense brush. On me, it lasted for eight and a half hours before fading slightly.

Gold (137CP) is a bright, medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage.

Red Grape (138M) is a deep red with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The color payoff was fantastic, while the texture was smooth, moderately dense, but it was blendable and easy to work with on the lid. The eyeshadow started to fade on me after nine hours of wear.

Star Bronze (139CP)

Star Bronze (139CP) is a medium brown with warm undertones and flecks of gold and copper sparkle. It had good color coverage in a single layer, though it was just shy of full coverage without a second layer patted on top. The eyeshadow applied better with a dampened brush, as it did not look as even dry (though only noticeable close-up). It lasted for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

Silver Screen (822)

Chanel Silver Screen (822) Ombre Premiere Longwear Cream Eyeshadow ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a smoldering, medium-dark taupe with subtle, warm olive undertones and a sparkling finish. It had semi-opaque coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage by applying a second layer on top. The consistency was smooth, thin, and workable along the edges as a standalone eyeshadow. It wasn’t my favorite sheered out as the darker color did not appear as even when sheered out drastically. It lasted without creasing for 14 hours but had slight fallout after 10 hours of wear.

Chanel’s holiday collection will be available October 16th online and November 2017 at counters.

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.14 oz. - $257.14 Per Ounce

Chanel describes the formula as a “smooth-textured cream shadow [that] glides on effortlessly” and is “long-wearing.” Overall, the consistency has moderate slip–emollient but not greasy or overly wet in feel–and feels more like a traditional cream eyeshadow than Chanel’s Illusion d’Ombres. They go on as a thin layer but have fairly good pigmentation. The formula dried down quite quickly leaving little time for blending or diffusing edges, even when working one eye at a time, which was where I struggled. I think some of them tended to work better as lid colors and using something else for a more diffused/blended out crease color. They did, however, wear impeccably for as long as fourteen hours on me–no creasing, fading, or flaking.

Ruby (857)

Dior Ruby (857) High Fidelity Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette ($63.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, limited edition holiday palette featuring shades of pink and plum. The palette seems to be fairly sold through online, but perhaps it’ll pop back up online and may still be available in stores. It was a nice set of shades that we’ve certainly seen quite a bit of this past year, but I’ll always welcome yet another well-done variation.

Ruby #1

Ruby #1 is a soft pink with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had medium coverage that was only buildable if applied with a dampened brush. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable but on the denser side so a heavier hand would be necessary to pickup product with a brush. The color wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Aeris

Natasha Denona Aeris Eyeshadow Palette 5 ($48.00 for 0.40 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette for the holidays that features four shimmering, sparkly shades and one matte. The first and last shades are supposed to be sheer, though only the last one was truly sheer. This is a palette that will work best for someone who typically uses a glitter adhesive or likes to use their shimmery eyeshadows with a dampened brush for maximum pigmentation, evenness, and wear.

Nude (140CP)

Nude (140CP) is a medium-dark peach with warm, rosy undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The consistency was soft but more loosely pressed, so it did sheer out a bit when applied dry and had slight fallout during application, though it was described as sheer (it was more semi-opaque than sheer from my experience). It applied best with a flat, synthetic brush or else a dampened brush (I did not feel like I needed glitter adhesive, though). On me, the eyeshadow lasted for eight hours with slight fallout (dry).

Red Bronze (141K)

Red Bronze (141K) is a deep red with cooler undertones and warmer, gold glitter. It had a very dense, firm texture–this one felt more cream-like than powder–that was a pain to diffuse and blend out, regardless of brush type or whether the brush was dry or damp. I did not like fingertips for application either as the majority of product stuck to my fingertip and did not transfer to the lid. I had to really jab and push the product from the pan onto the lid and build it up. The eyeshadow wore well for nine hours and left a slight stain behind with minor fallout (impressive, given the size of the glitter).

Peach Bronze (144CP)

Peach Bronze (144CP) is a medium, coral-orange with warm, red undertones and a gold, sparkling finish. It was supposed to be “sheer,” and it absolutely was–sheer coverage dry, and as I was quite surprised, I also swatched it damp to see if that improved the coverage, and it did (semi-opaque). The consistency was soft, glittery, and prone to sheering out so there was some fallout during application. This shade could use a glitter adhesive or be applied with a dampened brush for the best results. It wore well for seven and a half hours with moderate fallout.

Galaxy

Fenty Beauty Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00 for 0.56 oz.) contains 14 glittering eyeshadows housed in a sleek, multi-chrome compact. (The only downside is the compact attracts fingerprints like crazy!) Fenty says that the palette contains a mix of “sheer, glittering topcoats” and “smoky, shimmer-drenched hues.” When it comes to application advise, the brand says to “wear eye shadows solo for a sheer-to-smoky multidimensional effect” or to “layer topcoats over any eye shadow.” The “pro tip” is to “wet your brush” if you want a “more intense look.”

Here’s the crux of the problem: this is a drier, powder-based glitter eyeshadow formulation, and since there’s no real revolutionary technology behind the formula… guess what? They don’t work very well dry, while some shades are more workable with a dampened brush and others need to be layered over a creamy or tacky base. I felt that there were some eyeshadows that had little fallout (especially when you take into account how much glitter they had!) when applied with a dampened brush, but in general, I would recommend using something like MAC Fix+ (not quite as strong as a true glitter adhesive but worked well for getting smoother application and minimizing fallout over time with this formula) or a glitter adhesive for anyone wanting to encrust their lids with sparkles.

What I would have preferred to see from the brand was releasing a glitter adhesive/base as a companion to the palette, whether that was including a sample size with the palette and having a full-sized version available for purchase. Per the brand, the following shades were intentionally made sheer: Oh-Zone, Sublime, Cosmic Ocean, Meteor Crush, and Mars on Fire. All swatches are shown dry (left) and damp with just water (right). I tested all shades dry, dampened with pure water, and applied using a dampened brush with MAC Fix+ (light adhesive), but for the purposes of rating the palette, only the first two methods were included in longevity ratings.

This palette will work best for someone looking for glittering accent eyeshadows to incorporate into their looks. It’s less of a cohesive/all-in-one palette since all of the eyeshadows are quite glittery and there aren’t too many deeper, more contrasting shades. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to pull out multiple palettes to use together, then think carefully whether you’d go the extra step for this one. I also think that only those willing to use fingertips, adhesive bases, or the like will find this most satisfying. If you were looking for a glitter eyeshadow that could be applied on its own without any aids, you’ll be disappointed by the formula.

Xtra Terrestrial

Xtra Terrestrial is a deep green with warm, olive undertones and lighter green and emerald green shimmer and sparkle. It had rich color coverage in a single layer regardless of application method, and it seemed just about as sparkly either way, too. The texture was smoother, though I could feel the heavy amount of shimmer/sparkle in it, and was blendable on the lid. The eyeshadow lasted for eight hours on me with minor fallout applied dry and no fallout when applied with a dampened brush or using Fix+.

The texture was drier and chunkier, which made it harder to apply with brushes or an adhesive base. Fingertips worked well for patting and pushing the glitters into place. It wore well for eight hours, but the dry application had significant fallout over time, while the dampened application had some and Fix+ application had a minor amount.

Planet Ex

Planet Ex is a dark brown with warm, red undertones and a glittery finish. It had opaque coverage both wet and dry with the dampened application yielding a richer color and a more metallic finish. The texture was slightly loose and a bit dry, but it was blendable and usable on its own. Applied dry, it had some fallout after eight hours, while applied with a dampened brush (just using water), it had very little fallout.

Oh-Zone

Oh-Zone is a stark, white gold with subtle, warm undertones and a chunky, glittery finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation, as described, when applied dry. It had good color payoff applied damp, though it wasn’t opaque, which was partially due to the chunky texture that was hard to apply evenly. The eyeshadow lasted for eight hours with heavy fallout dry, some fallout applied with a dampened brush, and minimal fallout applied with an adhesive base (Fix+).

Ultraviolit

Ultraviolit is a deep plum with warm undertones and multi-colored glitter. It had opaque color payoff both wet and dry with the damp application yielding a more sparkly, smoother finish. The eyeshadow applied nicely to bare skin and was one of the easier shades to use on its own, as the base color showed up and the sparkle wasn’t quite as chunky. It wore well for eight hours on me with minor fallout dry, almost no fallout when applied with a dampened brush, and no fallout when used with an adhesive base (Fix+).

Sublime

Sublime is a light green with warm undertones and copper, green, and gold glitter. The texture was loose, dry, and chunky, which made it difficult to work with dry as it had a ton of fallout during application and little stuck to the lid. It was a shade I felt had to be used with at least a dampened brush or otherwise applied over a tacky base. It had semi-sheer coverage dry and nearly opaque coverage when applied with a dampened brush. There was not much base color to this one, so there was a ton of fallout when worn dry, some fallout when worn with a dampened brush, and almost none when used with an adhesive base.

Milky Way

Milky Way is a very light, creamy gold base with flecks of copper micro-glitter. It had semi-sheer pigmentation applied dry, which intensified to opaque coverage when applied damp. There was a base shade to this eyeshadow, so it was somewhat functional dry, but the copper glitter loosely sat on top, so without a dampened application or adhesive base, that glitter was prone to fallout. The base lasted for eight hours and had major fallout dry, slight fallout applied with a dampened brush, and no fallout when applied with an adhesive base.

Cosmic Ocean

Cosmic Ocean is a light blue with a warmer, greenish base and lighter silver and blue glitter. It had sheer coverage, as described, when applied dry. I was able to get more medium coverage and a smoother application with a dampened brush. The consistency was drier, looser, and very messy to use dry as the glitter didn’t really have anything to bind with, so it just dropped when patted onto the lid (even with a fingertip). There was little in the way of sustained wear when applied dry, but it lasted closer to eight hours with some fallout when applied with a dampened brush and then had minimal fallout when used with MAC Fix+.

Meteor Crush

Meteor Crush is a brighter, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of large, gold sparkle. It had semi-sheer pigmentation applied dry, which was in line with the brand’s description, that was buildable to opaque coverage if applied with a dampened brush. The texture was soft, somewhat dry, but not quite as loose as other sheer shades in the palette. It wore well for eight hours both wet and dry but the amount of fallout was heavy when applied dry compared to minor when applied with a dampened brush.

Jupiter Sand

Jupiter Sand is a medium brown with warm, yellow undertones and flecks of lavender, greenish-gold, and brown glitter. It had semi-opaque coverage applied dry and had opaque coverage applied with a dampened brush. This shade was easier to use as a standalone product as there was a base color that came through, though the sparkles did not adhere that well (most dropped between the brush and the lid) without at least using a dampened brush (with water). It wore well for eight hours both wet and dry but had more minimal fallout when applied with a dampened brush (even with use of Fix+).

Mars on Fire

Mars on Fire is a medium-dark, coppery red with flecks of pink and copper glitter. It had sheer coverage, as described, when applied dry. It intensified to semi-opaque coverage when applied with a wet brush. The texture was drier and looser with less of a base powder and just finer copper shimmer underneath the chunkier sparkle. It had a lot of fallout when worn dry and then light fallout when applied with a dampened brush.

Midnight Bolt

Midnight Bolt is a medium-dark blue with cool undertones and faint flecks of silver sparkle over a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation both wet and dry, though the dry application wasn’t quite as deep nor as metallic compared to the dampened application. This was the least glittery shade in the palette, and it had the firmest texture and wasn’t quite as blendable as the others, though it had a lot less fallout and could be used dry. It wore well for eight hours on me with minor fallout.

Frostwinked

MAC Frostwinked Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a pale, white gold with a gold-to-green shifting sparkle. It had sheer coverage applied dry with semi-opaque coverage applied with a dampened brush. The consistency was drier and on the flakier side, so the product needed to be applied with fingertips or using a dampened brush to help the powder come together and apply more evenly to the skin. It wore well for seven hours on me with minor fallout over time.

It's Snowing

MAC It’s Snowing Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium, plummy pink with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage applied dry, and the color itself appeared lighter and more faded compared to application with a dampened brush, where it was fully opaque and a bit deeper. The texture was smoother and blendable, and it was the easiest to work with out of the four I tested. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours.

The consistency was drier and with the amount of sparkle, almost gritty to the touch, so it did not work well dry as it had a lot of fallout and did not adhere well to the lid. With a dampened brush, it went on more smoothly and had more coverage, though I would recommend an adhesive base (even someting like MAC Fix+ helps a lot) to maximize coverage, evenness of application, and wear. On its own, it lasted for six hours (which is, surprisingly, what the wear time is marketed as) with minor fallout (used with a dampened brush).

Stylishly Merry #2

MAC Stylishly Merry #2 Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium, golden copper base with gold-to-pink shifting sparkle. The texture was drier and looser with noticeable sparkly bits, so it was not particularly easy to use dry, as there was a lot of fallout and the color went on unevenly. With a dampened brush or over an adhesive base, it applied with better, more even coverage and looked smoother overall. It lasted for seven hours on me with slight fallout over time (applied with a dampened brush).

Emerald (347)

Dior Emerald (347) High Fidelity Colours & Effects Eyeshadow Palette ($63.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, limited edition green-hued set of shades for the holidays. For a Dior palette, it was surprisingly good, but there were two under-performing shades (center and bottom right). I think the sheerness of the deepest may make it easier to work with it gradually for some, so that might not be a deal-breaker for anyone who prefers their deeper shades to have buildable coverage. The center shade was far stiffer than it should have been, though.

Grande Pro (Vol. 1)

Viseart Grande Pro (Vol. 1) Grande Pro Palette ($175.00 for 2.10 oz.) contains 30 eyeshadows with six repromoted from previous palettes and 24 that are new and exclusive to the palette. The palette is going to work best for someone who prefers various tones of neutrals, more muted tones, some deeper, smokier shades, and tends to build up their pigmentation. The texture of many shades was soft and blendable but a few were stiff, grainy, or more difficult to blend out on the skin. I found that most shades that did not seem that pigmented were slightly more pigmented in practice or else they built up within two to three layers. For the most part, the palette was easy to use and I didn’t notice some of the pigmentation issues that seemed more obvious from just swatching alone.

For a Viseart palette, it had a lot of inconsistency in pigmentation across shades than I find normal for the brand. The warmer neutrals tended to perform the best while the deeper shades seemed weaker, though the purple-hued shades were also on the weak side. In the past, their deeper palettes (like Cool Mattes and Dark Mattes) have not performed quite as well as their lighter, neutral palettes (like Neutral Mattes and Warm Mattes) but not as inconsistent as I experienced with this particular palette.

All that being said, I did find it extremely easy to use the majority of the shades when I paired it with some of the glitter-tastic palettes that released this holiday season. I didn’t feel as let down when I was actually using the eyeshadows on my eyes as I often used the eyeshadows as crease, outer lid, and transition shades. For the price, I’d be more inclined to get two of their regular palettes ($160) instead, though.

Grande Pro (Vol. 1) #11

Grande Pro (Vol. 1) #11 is a deep brown with neutral undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The eyeshadow felt slightly dusty in the pan, which seemed to make it more prone to sheering out, though I was able to get opaque coverage through layering. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours before starting to fade.

Grande Pro (Vol. 1) #13

Grande Pro (Vol. 1) #13 is a light-medium mauve with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation (which might be hard to see on my skin tone) paired with a slightly dusty texture, so there was some sheering out and a bit of fallout if I wasn’t careful. This shade wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Grande Pro (Vol. 1) #15 is a vibrant, medium-dark fuchsia pink with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a firmer, denser texture that was slightly grainy to the touch but seemed to apply to the lid and blend out just fine, so I never noticed anything amiss texture-wise in practice. The color wore well for nine hours on me but stained slightly.

Smoky Pink

MAC Smoky Pink Snow Ball Eye Bag ($39.50 for 0.55 oz.) is a new, limited edition trio of products housed in a holiday makeup bag. For review purposes, I am not reviewing the mascara, only the eyeliner and eyeshadow duo. There was only one new shade within the kit (Light of the Silvery Moon). If you normally use your eyeshadows with a dampened brush, you’ll probably have no trouble using the duo, but I did find the formula to feel a little drier and looser in the pan compared to past Extra Dimension eyeshadows.

Ready to Party

Ready to Party is a light, pinky lavender with cool undertones and a sparkling finish. It had semi-sheer color payoff when applied dry and more opaque coverage when applied with a dampened brush. The eyeshadow was drier, more loosely pressed in the pan, so there was some powderiness kicked up in the pan and the color sheered out too readily when used dry. It wore well for six hours dry and seven and a half hours damp.

Light of the Silvery Moon

Light of the Silvery Moon is a medium-dark gray with cool, blue undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation applied dry, where the color also appeared lighter and warmer with a pearl finish. When applied with a dampened brush, it intensified to full coverage and was deeper, richer, and more metallic. The texture was drier–drier than even normal for the formula–and prone to sheering out when used dry, so there was fallout during application and only five-hour wear when I used it dry. When I applied it with a dampened brush, it lasted for seven and a half hours.

Glass Tears

NARS Glass Tears Man Ray 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($49.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette with six shades in a dark, smoky color combination. It was a decent to good palette overall, and I think the colors worked well together, though one might want to bring in a few brighter, lighter colors to get the most usage out of the palette’s shades. The formula was softer and more pigmented than the average NARS’ eyeshadow (like their permanent singles and duos).

Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker is a blackened teal with cool undertones and a pearly sheen. The texture was a bit drier, which I felt made it harder to diffuse the edges without it appearing more jagged, but with enough buffing and blending, I was able to soften the edge for the most part. It had good color payoff that stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Tryst

Tryst is a medium, dirty gold with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was denser, and it was almost chunky trying to get it out of the pan with a brush. It applied more easily with a fingertip or a dampened brush, which helped to smooth and spread the color over the lid. The color stayed on for eight before creasing on me. This shade appeared in the Love Game palette, too, but the version in that palette had a better texture.

[Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, our system of showing photos pulls recent photos within a certain time period, and the fact that the same shade was released twice simultaneously… the first two photos are from Love Game, and the last two photos represent the one in Glass Tears — at least you can see the difference in quality between the two, I guess!]

Smoky Gold

MAC Smoky Gold Snow Ball Eye Bag ($39.50 for 0.55 oz.) includes an easy-to-wear duo featuring a light gold and dark, warm taupe along with a dark brown eyeliner and mascara. For review purposes, the mascara is not included in the review. The eyeshadows were fairly easy to work with, and I expect if you normally use a primer or like to use your shimmery eyeshadows with a dampened brush, you’ll enjoy the eyeshadows quite a bit. The eyeliner was comfortable to use and long-wearing.

Just Gleaming

Just Gleaming is a light, peachy gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had semi-sheer coverage dry and opaque coverage applied with a dampened brush. The texture was smoother and easier to work with using a dampened brush, too, as it felt a little dry and more loosey pressed otherwise, which led to some fallout and sheerness in practice. On me, it wore well for five hours applied dry and seven hours applied with a dampened brush.

Rose Gold

MAC Rose Gold Snow Ball Eye Compact ($29.50 for 0.28 oz.) is a new, limited palette that contains six eyeshadows. It’s housed in a slim compact, and each eyeshadow is almost the equivalent of a full-sized MAC eyeshadow (0.047 oz. vs. 0.05 oz.). The shades came together without too much work as each eyeshadow was fairly pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. There are two Dazzleshadows, which are more glittery shades, so if that’s not your cup of tea, you might find them harder to work with or too sparkly for your preferences.

She Sparkles

She Sparkles is a light, silvery pewter with neutral-to-warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had sheer coverage when applied with a dry brush, whereas it had mostly opaque coverage when applied with a dampened brush, but MAC doesn’t indicate that the pigmentation should be anything other than “rich.” The texture was slightly drier and noticeably sparkly, and while the brand might claim “minimal fallout,” I’d say there was a moderate amounnt during application and then slight fallout throughout the day.

Drama in the Snow

Drama in the Snow is a medium-dark taupe brown with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The consistency was firmer and needed a heavier hand to work with unless one wanted to build the color up very gradually. I noticed that the color turned a bit grayer as I blended it and it had a chance to sit on my skin for a couple of minutes. It lasted for eight hours on me.

So Jaded

Colour Pop So Jaded Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was slightly loose, so it had some excess product that kicked up in the pan and applied better with a flatter brush, patted on, than swept on to minimize fallout and maximize coverage. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted for eight hours before fading slightly on me.

Imperial

Colour Pop Imperial Pressed Pigment ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium-dark, rusty orange with warm,r ed undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff with a soft, powdery consistency that had some excess get kicked up in the pan, so I would recommend using a lighter hand and building up coverage to minimize fallout and messiness. The color wore well for eight hours on me.

Hung Up

Colour Pop Hung Up Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a dark, plummy purple with warm, brown undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation with a slightly drier consistency that could have been a little more blendable along the edges, but it wasn’t a true struggle and was quite workable. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Paper Crane

Colour Pop Paper Crane Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a dark, coppery brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was moderately dense and almost cream-like to the touch, so it applied best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes over fluffy ones, as fluffier brushes did not pick up product as well nor did they apply the color as evenly. It had rich color payoff that wore well for nine hours on me.

Roundhouse

Colour Pop Roundhouse Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a deep brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. There were nearly imperceptible pearl strewn through the powder, but it looked more like a matte eyeshadow on the lid. It had intense pigmentation in a single layer with a smooth, velvety consistency that wasn’t too thin or too dense. The eyeshadow blended out without too much work along the edges and stayed on well for eight hours.

Fortune Cookie

Colour Pop Fortune Cookie Pressed Pigment ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, medium pinky-red with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff in a single layer with a slightly drier texture that wasn’t too powdery nor was it prone to sheering out, but it just had a dryness present to it, possibly due to the thinner consistency. The color wore well for eight and a half hours and stained my lids slightly (and it is technically not an eyeshadow).
