Per the model, it had a “semi-sheer brown base with giant glitter particles that shift from lilac-pink-orange-gold.” The shift was seen in particular person however extra subtle-to-moderate in impact.
The feel was mushy, extra loosely-pressed within the pan, so that you’ll wish to use a lighter hand, which the model did advise to do, and press and pat the product on to keep away from gentle fallout when working with a dry brush, although a fingertip or a dampened brush, which had been how these had been meant to be utilized, yielded opaque, even outcomes with out fallout. It had largely opaque protection (within the type of shimmer), whereas the bottom itself appeared semi-sheer to medium in protection–extra noticeable if one sheered it out on function.

The formulation is meant to “apply comparatively straightforward to the lid when patted on with a finger,” however for “most longevity and depth, apply over a set primer” or a “cheesy base” for “larger-particle glitters.” The model goes on to remain that this formulation could be utilized with “your finger or a shader brush sprayed with setting spray” after which patted onto the lid. Additionally they warn to not “dig” one’s brush as they’re “extra delicate” in texture.
The bottom pigmentation diversified from shade to shade, and the model makes use of totally different particle sizes all through the vary, so some are finer and extra pigmented and others could also be extra sparkly with a sheerer base. Bear in mind, the bottom being sheerer would not equate to a sheerer finish product; the precise eyeshadows typically appeared largely opaque to opaque attributable to how packed they’re with shimmer/sparkle–but it relied on the angle.
They find yourself being a bit extra like conventional eyeshadow, for the reason that bases have numerous colours (not black or clear) with multichromatic shifts that diversified from extra intense to subtler. I felt like they had been “simpler” to make use of than the Jewelled Multichromes, particularly in the event you’re somebody who makes use of various shades at a time, although they’ve much less of a high-shine end and extra of a twinkling/glowing end.
The feel was extra loosely-pressed–definitely “delicate” as indicated by the brand–and labored greatest by patting or urgent onto the lid with a fingertip or a moist brush. They’re nonetheless fairly usable with a dry brush however undoubtedly use a denser brush and a delicate urgent movement to choose up product. The feel itself was very mushy, virtually silky, and finely-milled; for has twinkling because the end was, Clionadh’s thought of “glitter” is extra like effective sparkle.
The large distinction with this formulation is that the sheerer base makes them simpler to sheer out for an all-over wash of colour on the lid or subtle on the forehead bone, however they can be pressed into place with out heavy mixing for an intense, highlight impact.
Whereas setting spray or glitter glue would assist to maximise longevity (by minimizing fallout over time), there was solely gentle some fallout over time when pressed onto the lid with a fingertip and slight fallout utilized with a dampened brush (moist with water) over eight to 9 hours. The sparkles had been finer and had higher adhesion to reveal pores and skin, so the formulation did not want essentially the most intense resolution to attenuate fallout in my expertise.

It had a clear base as described, the colour shifting pearl/shimmer delivered semi-opaque, buildable protection (opaque if utilized damp), although it might be sheered out if desired. The feel was easy, flippantly creamy, and extra loosely-pressed within the pan however to not the purpose the place it appeared susceptible to extra product kicked up (simply use a lightweight to average hand when choosing up product).
