Lisa Eldridge Muse Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Muse

Lisa Eldridge Muse Eyeshadow Palette ($68.00 for 0.2 oz.) is a new, six-pan palette that included three more matte shades with three more shimmery shades across warm-toned, rosy neutral color story. It is one of five pre-made options from the recent Lisa Eldridge eyeshadow release, though all six shades can be purchased as pan-only (the best deal, unsurprisingly, is to buy pre-made, and you cannot purchase empty palettes at this time, but I know the brand is considering it in the future after receiving requests).

The brand’s eyeshadow formula has an assortment of finishes, so how they were supposed to perform (and how they performed) did vary from finish to finish, but the important finishes to note are that Luminous has “medium payoff, semi-transparent base” and Top Coat as a “minimal pigment formula,” whereas the other shades are higher coverage with a literally different finish (ranging from soft matte

Rare Beauty Flaunt Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter Review & Swatches

Rare Beauty Flaunt Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter ($25.00 for 0.098 oz.) is a light-medium copper with moderate, warm undertones and a lighter, golden sheen throughout. It had a more transparent base and lots of very fine pearl, so it looked almost translucent when worn very lightly.

ColourPop Skywatcher Lite Stix Review & Swatches

Formula Overview

$8.00/0.33 oz. – $24.24 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to “blend effortlessly” with a “natural, skin-like finish” that can be layered or applied on bare skin. The brand recommends applyling directly from the tube for heavier coverage and using a brush to pick up product for less coverage, though the coverage “easily builds colour to your heart’s desire.”

They dry down to a semi-set finish–lightly dewy, definitely “natural, skin-like” in appearance, but not overly tacky or really wet-looking. I haven’t found that they migrate or move around much, so the formula is still longer-wearing at seven to nine hours with minimal movement. They have applied well and worn well over foundation thus far, too. They are not transfer-proof but are transfer-resistant; they won’t smear around with an inadvertent touch but aren’t fully locked down.

The pigmentation varied a bit from shade to shade, but most shades were
