Pat McGrath Sunset Romance Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Pat McGrath Sunset Romance 5-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($36.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a new, limited edition warmer, neutral-leaning color story that included two semi-matte shades paired with three very shimmery shades. The formula was creamier across the board with the mattes having a smoother, more velvety texture (less like a traditional matte), and the shimmers being very cream-like and a touch thicker, though I had great wear, pigmentation, and experienced good application with all the shades. Glowing Desire is a light copper with moderate, warm orange undertones and a soft, metallic sheen . Semi-opaque pigmentation Smooth, emollient consistency, almost cream-like Continue Reading…

Pat McGrath Supernova Siren Cheek Trio Review & Swatches

Pat McGrath Supernova Siren Divine Blush, Bronze, and Glow Trio ($52.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that leaned a bit more on the darker spectrum (compared to the other two released) in depth. The quality was decent across the board, though I found the bronzer and blush to be on the powdery side and not my favorite texture applied to bare skin (relative to other offerings). Burnished Honey is a dark, reddish-brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. Medium, buildable pigmentation (as marketed) Smooth, finely-milled, somewhat powdery and thinner than the permanent version Applied evenly Continue Reading…

The quality was decent across the board, though I found the bronzer and blush to be on the powdery side and not my favorite texture applied to bare skin (relative to other offerings). Bronze Nirvana is a medium, coppery-orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. Medium, buildable pigmentation (as marketed) Smooth, finely-milled, somewhat powdery and thinner than the permanent version Applied evenly to Continue Reading…

Pat McGrath Fleurever Nude Cheek Trio Review & Swatches

Pat McGrath Fleurever Nude Divine Blush, Bronze, and Glow Trio ($52.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that leaned a bit lighter (compared to the other two released) in depth. I wasn’t thrilled with the highlighter texture; despite being more finely-milled, it looked drier applied to my skin due to the general dustiness/dryness of the formula. The bronzer was comparable to the permanent range, though it did feel thinner to me. Nude Honey is a light-medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. Medium, buildable pigmentation (as marketed) Smooth, finely-milled, somewhat powdery and thinner than Continue Reading…

Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Cheek Trios Swatches

There are three variations of the Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Cheek Trios with them basically being lighter-leaning, more medium-leaning, and deeper-leaning. Each trio includes a bronzer (all from the permanent range), blush (all new shades), and highlighter (all new shades). While the blushes are new shades, I felt like they covered similar territory as past releases, so you may find the trios redundant if you have a lot of Divine Blushes already. The quality felt slightly thinner/dustier compared to the permanent range, particularly with respect to the lightest highlighter. Here are swatches!

Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (x4)

There are four, five-pan Pat McGrath Bijoux Brilliance Eyeshadow Palettes available for the holiday season. The quality is comparable to the last batch of five-pan palettes released: all of the shades were more emollient, cream-like, and a bit thicker. The shimmers apply better in practice than swatched, while the mattes have a more velvety, silicone-like feel than the brand’s mattes in Mothership palettes.
