Formula Overview
-
The formula is supposed to have "intense pigments for long-lasting color" across four finishes: "intense satin," "deep matte," luminous metallic," and "radiant pearl." The majority of the shades were quite pigmented applied dry, but it seemed, by texture and look of the pan, to be a wet/dry formula to me, so I tried them damp as well. I didn't feel like using them dampened was necessary except for a few of the "radiant pearl" finish shades, which had more shimmer/sparkle.
The "deep matte" finish tended to have a firmer and more cream-like feel, so using a denser brush to pick up to apply and diffuse color was best, while the other finishes were more moderately-dense--firm but not stiff--and blended out well as they "melted" on my skin. The eyeshadows lasted around eight hours on me before showing signs of fading with a few getting closer to nine hours of wear.

It’s definitely “nice” and very well curated. However, I know that I can take 4 of my MAC or SG single pans and get exactly this!
Except for #2, I just do not like these colours and they wouldn’t look too great on me.
Yay! A HE brand delivering a really genuinely good product, Even though this colour story is a bit to warm for me, it is still great. Oddly enough, it’s not the orangey red shade (which is easily duped by my Pixi Beauty Auburn Blaze as a bronze shade). it is the brown shades – too dark for me.
Looks as if G is finally back in the eyeshadow game. I so wanted Petrushka…not the ballet, but my malamute in the 80s…but you saved me from buying that disaster. I have a soft spot for G, especially their grand old chypres, like Mitsouko or L’Heure Bleue. Not to mention the first ‘synthetic’ Jicky, right Mariella and Jackie O?
