Sunkissed BronzeCover FX Sunkissed Bronze Monochromatic Bronzer Duo ($38.00 for 0.51 oz.) is the lighter of the two bronzer duos available. It has more of a golden undertone running through both the matte and shimmer shades. Both bronzers were pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with and had eight to nine hour wear.

Sunkissed Bronze (Left)Sunkissed Bronze (Left) is a medium brown with soft, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin. The powder had a finely-milled, silky consistency that wasn’t powdery and felt almost velvety with some slip. The bronzer blended out effortlessly on my skin and stayed in place well for eight and a half hours on me. Top Dupes

Sunkissed Bronze (Right)Sunkissed Bronze (Right) is a medium, golden brown with warm undertones and a lightly, metallic finish. It had one of the shinier, more shimmery finishes from both the blush and bronzer duos available, though it didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The cheek color had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, denser consistency that wasn’t too firmly pressed in the pan. It applied evenly and blended out seamlessly, and it stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

PhoenixCiate Phoenix Marbled Metals Metallic Glitter Eyeshadow ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a soft, medium red with warm undertones and a mix of greenish-gold and pink sparkle over a metallic finish. The contrasting green-gold sparkles actually were apparent when the product was applied without having to angle or tilt one’s head awkwardly to find the shift. The eyeshadow felt smooth to the touch, dense and a little thicker, but it wasn’t as firmly pressed as a traditional, pressed eyeshadow (yet it wasn’t loose or pigment-like!). The pigmentation was opaque and applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even application and just a touch of fallout if I used a brush (the brand recommends using fingertips, which yielded no fallout). This shade stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$24.00/0.14 oz. - $171.43 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be "highly-blendable" with "full-metal coverage" that has "long-lasting, three-dimensional shine." They are recommended to be applied with "fingertips for effortless, one-swipe application." They're like a loosely-pressed powder eyeshadow in a glass jar with a plastic component that can be used to "press" the powder back into place, though none of mine seemed loose enough to need pressing. They were intensely pigmented with a smooth, more cream-powder consistency that applied well with fingertips but also did nicely with eyeshadow brushes. I tried them wet as well, and it didn't make a difference--I'd say it stretched the pigment and made them go on ever-so-slightly smoother. They had great adherence with minimal to no fallout and lasted between eight and nine hours on me. Browse all of our Ciate Marbled Metals Metallic Glitter Eyeshadow swatches.

TwistedCiate Twisted Marbled Metals Metallic Glitter Eyeshadow ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep, forest green with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had warmer sparkle, and when applied and blended out, it looked a bit warmer and a little less emerald green. If you really want to bring out the green tones, I’d recommend using it with a dampened brush. The pigmentation was opaque applied dry with fingertips (as recommended by the brand) or brushes. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and softly pressed (without being really loose), which made it easy to apply and blend out. It had good adhesion with a smidgen of fallout during application but good hold over an eight-hour period (no continuous fallout). Top Dupes

It should be a workhorse palette for warmer-toned, more sunset-esque color combos. For me, I see most of the experimentation in the colors from crease and above, which can get warmer, cooler, yellower to more orange depending on the combo. About This Series

via Temptalia http://bit.ly/2WEKmiO Natasha Denona Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette Swatches ($65.00 for 0.67 oz.) is a new, permanent palette designed to complement the Sunset palette. It’s smaller than the original 15-pan palettes (like Sunset), which contain 1.20 oz. and retail for $129.00 (or $107.50/oz.). I’m thrilled to see this smaller size, which is more like the size of the average eyeshadow palette. Sunrise is actually most cost effective, even on a per-ounce basis, as it is $97.01/oz. Each shade in Sunrise is 0.044 oz., and for reference, a full-sized eyeshadow is typically 0.05 oz. (like MAC and Urban Decay). The palette launches June 3rd at Sephora, Beautylish, Selfridges, Cult Beauty, and FeelUnique. Sunrise Eyeshadow Palette SwatchesGallery Options

via Temptalia http://bit.ly/2WeryHT Party MonsterUrban Decay Party Monster Heavy Metal Glitter Gel ($22.00 for 0.49 fl. oz.) contains hexagon-shaped, reflective lavender glitter suspended in a clear base. The brand said it was holographic, but it seemed to shift more from blue-to-lavender and then occasionally looked yellowish (reflecting the ambient lighting, I think). It had semi-sheer “coverage” in the form of the glitter, which dispersed fairly evenly and didn’t require too much maneuvering to get into place. The gel base was easy to work with and did not adversely impact powder eyeshadows or eyeliners it was on top of. I tried to test this for wear, but I wasn’t able to make it to a full eight-hour time period (on my eyes) due to my watering after about four hours (presumably from a particle). Based on my experience with other shades, as long as I don’t have the bad luck of the particle getting directly into my eye, it was only a few glitter pieces that dropped over an eight-hour period–they do have good hold, just imperfect, which was reflected in how it lasted as a cheek highlighter (a few stray pieces migrated). The issue I had with these as a cheek product was that sometimes they looked like specks of dirt, depending on the angle and the lighting I was in. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$22.00/0.49 oz. - $44.90 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to have "hyper-reflective and holographic glitter" that "won't budge for up to 9 hours" and is "super-concentrated." Per the brand, it can be used on "eyes, body, and face." I have no idea why they call it "high-coverage," when the base it's in is clear, which results in instantly sheering the product out as it is applied to any area (eyes, cheeks, etc.) and spread outward. The gel-base is thicker, spreadable, and works well over powder products, like eyeshadow, or over foundation without darkening, lifting, or creating patchiness of whatever it is layered over. The particle sizes used in these is quite large, and when applied as a cheek product, they often look like metallic (but not so sparkly/glittery) chunks of product. At certain angles, it looked like my skin was flaking off or raised texture. This is sometimes more or less the effect even on lids. I tested only some of these on eyes, and the wear was the same across the three I trialled--absolutely great hold in the scheme of things (eight to nine hours), but there was always a particle or two that did drop at some point during wear. I was not always able to keep my eye from watering to the point where I ended up having eyeshadow and mascara running into my eye if even one piece of glitter fell into my eye or got close enough to my lash line. When worn as a cheek highlighter, there was minimal travel but typically a few stray pieces of glitter on my chin or jaw line. During removal, they definitely come off without too much effort, but I could feel it scraping against my skin, particularly when I was removing the glitter from my cheeks (using a balm-based cleanser)--it was like a glittery exfoliation! The brand's promotional images definitely show nearly opaque/opaque "pigmentation" from their glitters, but whether I used a brush or my fingertips, these instantly shered out to have more semi-sheer to medium coverage. I would recommend being very careful with applying these to the lids by using a brush or just the very tip of the finger to avoid accidentally getting any on lashes (tried it, 0/10, don't recommend).

Disco DaydreamUrban Decay Disco Daydream Heavy Metal Glitter Gel ($22.00 for 0.49 fl. oz.) contains a mix of small, medium, and large hexagon-shaped glitter with some slight, iridescent pieces mixed in. It read primarily mirror-like, silvery, and the mix of sizes actually made it have more “coverage” and catch the light better. It was harder to maneuver some of the product evenly on my skin as the larger pieces clumped up a bit. I would recommend applying with a brush, which helped push pieces around better without getting them stuck on my lashes or lifting up my base products. This was another shade I tried to wear on the eyes for a full eight-hour wear test, but my eyes started to water too much at the six-hour mark. Based on my experience wearing this as a face product over eight hours, it had good hold and just a few stray pieces had migrated. Top Dupes

Soul LoveUrban Decay Soul Love Heavy Metal Glitter Gel ($22.00 for 0.49 fl. oz.) contains smaller, hexagon-shaped blue glitter that reflected between lighter and darker blue suspended in a clear base. It had semi-sheer coverage (not high-coverage) that spread out unevenly. This one took some patience to work with, but it worked best by patting onto one area with fingertips, letting it dry down slightly, and then spreading it outward. It wore well as a cheek product for eight hours with just a few bits having migrated over time, and while I gave it a try as an eye product, I only made it four hours before having to remove it due to eye irritation.

It had semi-sheer coverage with respect to the sparkle, which was fine enough not to add texture to the gloss. The texture was smooth, more like a gel-cream hybrid, that was comfortable to apply and to wear. The gloss didn’t settle into my lips, and it was moisturizing over the three hours it lasted for. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$20.00/0.23 oz. - $86.96 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be "ultra-shiny" with a "cushiony-soft" texture that has "long-lasting wear that's comfortable, not tacky." They are scented with "vanilla-mint," which I did detect, and I could taste slightly (more like a vague sweetness). There was a slight minty tingle upon initial application, but it was very subtle and more of a cooling sensation than anything painful. The strength of the formula is the texture of the gloss--more gel-like with a plushness that often smoothed out my lip lines rather than settled into them as some glosses are prone to do. Most shades applied well, were comfortable to wear, and lasted between three and five hours on me with light hydration. The coverage varies based on finish, with "Sheer Cream" having the sheerest coverage and "Cream" having "pigment-rich" coverage (opaque). The two other finishes--Holographic and Metallized--are supposed to have more medium, buildable coverage, per the brand. I think that the brand could have done a better job describing the coverage levels both by finish as well as by shade, though.

The consistency felt smooth and spread easily across my lips without settling into my lip lines, but there was enough sparkle (and large enough particles), that I was able to feel the grit of the glitter if I lightly pressed my lips together (which may be a deal-breaker for some!). It had medium color coverage, which was in line with the shimmer/sparkle shade marketing in this formula. It wore well for four hours and was hydrating while worn. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$20.00/0.23 oz. - $86.96 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be "ultra-shiny" with a "cushiony-soft" texture that has "long-lasting wear that's comfortable, not tacky." They are scented with "vanilla-mint," which I did detect, and I could taste slightly (more like a vague sweetness). There was a slight minty tingle upon initial application, but it was very subtle and more of a cooling sensation than anything painful. The strength of the formula is the texture of the gloss--more gel-like with a plushness that often smoothed out my lip lines rather than settled into them as some glosses are prone to do. Most shades applied well, were comfortable to wear, and lasted between three and five hours on me with light hydration. The coverage varies based on finish, with "Sheer Cream" having the sheerest coverage and "Cream" having "pigment-rich" coverage (opaque). The two other finishes--Holographic and Metallized--are supposed to have more medium, buildable coverage, per the brand. I think that the brand could have done a better job describing the coverage levels both by finish as well as by shade, though.

via Temptalia http://bit.ly/30ROoUo Stardust (GPV2 #1)Viseart Stardust (GPV2 #1) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a pale, peachy-pink with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had semi-sheer to medium color coverage, which is actually how this finish (Crystalline) is intended, though I found it sheerer and drier with more dispersion/less adhesion compared to the one I have in the Grande Pro. Vol. 2 palette. For better application and more intense coverage, I’d use it with a wet brush. If I really pack it on and build up the coverage, I ended up with moderate fallout. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes
Formula Overview- The eyeshadow formula is supposed to be "pigment[ed]" with "smooth and even application" that is "long-lasting." The matte shades are typically semi-opaque to opaque but buildable with soft, velvety textures that can sometimes be a little powdery or slightly firm, depending on the shade. I find that the mattes are often best suited to someone who likes control over pigmentation and may prefer to build up color; they regularly perform better in practice than just swatched on the arm as well. The shimmer shades range from satin to metallic, and the more metallic shades tend to feel creamier to the touch, while the satin ones have a fine pearl to them that looks almost melted on the lid once blended out. Both the mattes and shimmers are blendable and easy to work with. Most of Viseart's eyeshadows wear between seven and nine hours on me. Browse all of our Viseart Eyeshadow swatches.

Space Dust (GPV2 #24)Viseart Space Dust (GPV2 #24) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) has a warm, reddish-lum base with cooler, blue-to-violet shifting sparkle. It had a drier, looser consistency that was prone to sheering out and had moderate fallout. I found this to be substantially drier, sheerer, and far less desirable to work with compared to the pan I have of it in the Grande Pro Vol. 2 palette. Per the brand, the Duochrome finish is supposed to have “medium coverage,” which this particular pan had. It was buildable but lots of fallout when I did so, and it was another shade I’d recommend using with a wet brush to improve adhesion (and minimize fallout) and opacity (if desired). It lasted for eight hours on me before I noticed fading. Top Dupes

Zeus (GPV2 #20)Viseart Zeus (GPV2 #20) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium purple with cool undertones and a sparkling sheen. It had good color coverage that adhered evenly to bare skin but sheered out slightly, and if I wasn’t careful, there was a bit of fallout when initially applied and blended out over bare skin. This shade stayed on for just over eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

Mulberry (Amethyst #3)Viseart Mulberry (Amethyst #3) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had buildable pigmentation from semi-opaque to opaque (two layers) with a soft, thinner consistency that was a touch firmer in the pan but didn’t prove to be difficult to apply or to blend out on my skin. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly. Top Dupes

Raspberry (Bright Editorial #10)Viseart Raspberry (Bright Editorial #10) Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark, pinky red with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage with a fairly soft consistency that was just a little drier and thinner than the average matte by Viseart but softer than most reddish matte eyeshadows I’ve tried (they’re often on the grainy side). The eyeshadow applied evenly and blended out nicely along the edges. It lasted well for eight and a half hours on me and left a stain behind. Top Dupes
