In-Depth Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. – $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows in this palette are known for their consistent pigmentation, with most shades providing opaque color coverage. The more metallic and sparkly the shade, the creamier and more emollient it feels in the pan, resulting in a really smooth application and excellent adherence to the eyelids. Some shades perform best when applied with a fingertip or dampened brush to achieve true-to-pan color and finish.
While most shades blend effortlessly with brushes, the satin to pearl finishes may feel slightly thinner but still blend out beautifully. These eyeshadows typically wear between eight and nine hours, with some of the more foiled finishes showing signs of creasing towards the end of wear, while less foiled shades may fade.
