Cherry SmokeTom Ford Beauty Cherry Smoke Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.35 oz.) features the brand’s more traditional powder eyeshadow formula with two matte shades, one satin shade, and one more sparkly shade. The mattes were finely-milled and blendable, but the shimmers could have been better–obviously at this price point, this product needs to deliver exactly as you want it to in order to be “worth” it.

Awkward SilenceSydney Grace Awkward Silence Cream Shadow (2020) ($8.00 for 0.34 oz.) has a bluish-gray base with a mix of larger flecks of gold sparkle, finer gold and pinkish pearl. Sometimes the base looked almost purplish, but then when the light caught the sparkles, it looked warmer, more like a bronzy-taupe. It’s a very unique shade!
FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
Formula Overview$8.00/0.34 oz. - $23.53 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to "dry down to a smudge proof finish" that isn't waterproof but "will last all day on the lids." The brand recommends working "one eye at a time" as the formula "dr[ies] fairly quickly." It's an incredibly pigmented formula in most instances, where a little dab is more than enough to cover the mobile lid. I always find squeezing out product onto the back of my hand or onto a metal palette is the best way to get going with these. It was recently formulated to extend the shelf life, which went from six months to 12 months, but there were changes to the base formula, which I found shortened the wear time for me overall--by an hour or two. Previously, they wore between eight and 10 hours on me with most shades on the longer end of that range. With the updated formula, the wear was more eight to nine hours with a tendency to crease over fade, so if I applied it to the inner tearduct or the brow bone, the wear was more like nine hours or even ten hours, but if I wore the same shade in my crease, it would have creasing by eight hours. Otherwise, the formula tended to apply, blend, and work like the original formula--I just noticed that the wear time was a little reduced. The texture was smooth, like a liquid-cream hybrid as it wasn't runny but it was more spreadable than a cream eyeshadow you'd find in a jar. The majority of shades applied evenly to bare skin with little effort, and the edges remained blendable enough (even as it was mostly dried down) to soften and fuse with other shades. They're very lightweight and the majority of them sat well on my lids without emphasizing lines or texture (sometimes an issue with liquid/cream, more metallic products). It didn't have that dry down that felt so set and locked in that if you kept trying to blend it out (after it was dry) you'd get flaking; these never flaked or lifted. Based on past experiences--in general with cream eyeshadows--I recommend working with your powder eyeshadows first (unless you're using it as a base), and then going in with the cream eyeshadows and going back over any areas to further blend if necessary. That being said, I was able to layer powder eyeshadow over them without them lifting or becoming patchy. They're some of the easiest cream eyeshadows I've worked with to incorporate into multi-shade looks. The wear varied from eight to ten hours on me before there was slight fading or a bit of creasing. If you're someone who tends to use their cream eyeshadows as sheer washes of color, I think this formula is "too" pigmented and dries too quickly to make sheer application as effortless as you'd want. If you love the effect of and finish of creamier, metallic eyeshadows and want true, full coverage application, these are worth looking into. I recommend squeezing out the smallest amount of product on the back of your hand or onto a mixing palette, and then using fingertips or a flat, synthetic brush to apply to the lid. I prefer a brush as it gives more working time than when I used my fingertips. Browse all of our Sydney Grace Cream Shadow (2020) swatches.

Let's Chat!Share your own answers in the comments! Recent Purchases/Rediscoveries: Pat McGrath SatinAllure lipsticks arrived! I have to do lip swatches still (hopefully later this morning). Weekend plans: Spending as much time as I can with the puppies and Bri. The pups all have their next fosters lined up (they will go in pairs/trios), and fingers crossed, Bri will have a foster as well (I heard there was interest but nothing is confirmed yet), and so theyâll head back to the rescue on the 6th, get their first vaccinations, and those lucky Steaklets will head to the next stage in their journey to their forever homes. They will get neutered/spayed late April and be available for adoption on May 4th (Bri will be spayed in late April and be available for adoption on April 28th), so after the 6th, I probably wonât see them until late on the 3rd or early on the 4th. Iâm going to miss them so much! What are you looking forward to in April? Getting a little more sleep, having some free time, and spending more of that free time with Winnie once the pups leave my care. Thankfully, I enrolled Winnie into doggy kindergarten, and heâs going twice a week for five hours each day. He plays puzzles, does mazes, learns how to use agility equipment, plays with water, socializes with other dogs⦠They said they have not seen him nap yet, LOL, during the brief nap time on each day. Psst⦠since itâs Friday and weâre heading into the weekend, if you have some downtime, consider playing one of the games hubby and I have created! Youâll find all of our games on Awordy, but hereâs a breakdown of what we have so far:

via Temptalia https://ift.tt/4LVytHp Electric CherryTom Ford Beauty Electric Cherry Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.35 oz.) features the brand’s gel-powder formula, which can work wet or dry, and often is a more reliable, higher-performing formula from the brand (compared to their regular eyeshadow formula, which can be more of a hit or miss). All four shades were pigmented, smooth, blendable, and long-wearing, though as a color story, they kind of ran together so it would be a better quad used as one or two shades at a time or as a complementary palette with other palettes you own.

Formula Overview$12.00/0.21 oz. - $57.14 Per Ounce The powder highlighter is supposed to have a "high-shine" finish with "high colour intensity." In general, ColourPop's pressed highlighter powders have a smooth, moderately dense texture that was soft enough to be picked up easily by a brush but not kick up any powder in the pan. The formula was semi-opaque to opaque but easily sheered out for less shine and coverage if desired. There were a few shades within the range that emphasized my skin's natural texture slightly but most did not. The wear ranged from seven and a half hours to nine hours.

Formula Overview$9.00/0.25 oz. - $36.00 Per Ounce The highlighters are supposed to be "smooth and pigmented" that "blend like a dream" and "last all day long." The majority of the shades in the range are incredibly pigmented with a creaminess to the texture that makes them a cinch to apply and blend out on my skin. I was most impressed by how soft, almost cream-like the powders were, yet they weren't too loosely-pressed nor were they prone to powderiness. Some of the finishes are very metallic or frosted, so when worn at semi-opaque or higher coverage levels, they can emphasize my skin's natural texture slightly. They have worn between eight and nine hours on me. Browse all of our Sydney Grace Highlighter swatches.

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
These are the dupes the editor has pulled but not yet rated and officially entered.
Formula Overview$9.00/0.25 oz. - $36.00 Per Ounce It's a more pigmented blush, so it favors those who need or want richer coverage achieved with less product or in one layer, but those who prefer sheerer, more buildable blush may find there is a learning curve. The formula was very blendable and easy to work with, so I think it is more forgiving, particularly shades with some shimmer in them. The matte shades can be slightly powdery but do not look dry or dusty when applied, though they can darken a bit if not applied over drier or more matte skin (or a base). They wore between eight and 10 hours on me before fading noticeably. Browse all of our Sydney Grace Pressed Blush swatches.
