Give Me Glow Deep Waters Foiled Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a brighter, medium blue with slightly warmer, green-gold shimmer that gave it a shiny, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with good adhesion to bare skin while blending out well along the edges. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and moderately dense but picked up well with a dry brush. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before creasing faintly.

Give Me Glow High by the Beach Matte Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a deep, navy blue with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that applied fairly evenly and blended out with some effort but was workable. The consistency was soft, lightly powdery with a touch of fallout during application. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Glaminatrix Rosewood Matte Eyeshadow ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a deep red with strong, warm brown undertones and a matte finish. It was intensely pigmented where a little went a long way, so when combined with the more powdery texture, it was imperative to use a very light hand when picking up the product. The texture was finely-milled and smooth, which kept fallout to a minimal during application despite the powdery texture. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly. Glaminatrix Desire Matte Pressed Pigment ($7.30 for 0.064 oz.) is a brighter, plummy red with warm Continue Reading…

Give Me Glow Cupcake Matte Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a medium pink with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, velvety, and substantial, which resulted in full color coverage in a single layer that was blendable but didn’t sheer out too easily. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly. Give Me Glow Nude Rose Matte Pressed Shadow ($7.00 for 0.105 oz.) is a light-medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish.

ColourPop What the Shell 9-Pan Shadow Palette (Plastic) ($12.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a new, limited edition nine-pan palette that included a mix of powder and cream-to-powder eyeshadows across matte and shimmer finishes. I felt like the quality was lower than is typical for ColourPop, as the mattes were a little more powdery and prone to fallout and the shimmers were harder to use with a dry brush. I Sea U has a sheer base (as intended by the brand) with champagne gold and warmer gold shimmer and sparkle throughout. Sheer pigmentation Smooth but firmly packed into pan Best applied Continue Reading…
