Inglot Pearl Eyeshadows in Inglot #446, 445, 440, 420, 439, 441 (Purples)

Inglot’s Pearl Eyeshadow ($4.50 to $7.00 each for 0.09 oz.) range is certainly expansive! They don’t quite fit into two 20-pan palettes neatly (there are two that overflowed into a third, plus one I know I’m missing). There are also a fair amount that seem to only be available in individual pots, rather than refills (which I do not have).

Inglot’s Pearl Eyeshadows have a very fine shimmer with a brighter, pearly sheen.   I had a good experience with these six eyeshadows–they were easy to work with, nicely pigmented, and had the soft, smooth textures I’ve come to expect from Inglot’s Pearl eyeshadows.  #440 is the only one that I felt wasn’t true-to-pan in color; it was a few notches lighter, because of the heavy white pearl.

• 446 is a rich, jewel-toned plum purple with red undertones in a pearl finish.
• 445 is a softened, medium-dark plum with a pearl finish.
• 440 is a frosted, cool-toned lilac with a pearl finish. Like some of the other lighter pearl shades, the white pearl really reflects and comes through, almost washing the shade out.
• 420 is a grayish mauve with a pearl finish–it almost looks metallic.
• 439 is a rich, jewel-toned violet purple with a pearl finish.
• 441 is a medium-dark violet with a pearl finish.

Inglot Eyeshadows are not easy to come by in the U.S., but perhaps that will change over the next year or two. The brand now has a boutique in NYC, which looks like any high end brand’s boutique from the photos and videos I’ve seen of it (I have never been there personally). My girl Pursebuzz picked up two palettes of eyeshadows on my behalf while she was at a local trade show, so I think each of these palettes was around $40, inclusive (the palette and eyeshadows). I think the normal price hovers around $75ish for the palette and enough eyeshadows to fill it. I remember we both planned to purchase more, but they were cash-only (say what?! what is cash?!) at the show.

The quality of the eyeshadows is nice–well-pigmented, smooth, and blendable. They come in a ridiculous variety of colors and seem to have three finishes available: regular, AMC, and AMC Shine. Again, since I’ve never been to an Inglot store, and their website explains nothing about, I really can’t say much about what each finish is officially or there are finishes within each type of eyeshadow.

• #464 is an adobe brown with gold shimmer and red undertones. It’s kind of like clay, in the color.
• #495 is a brightened pink with a subtle pearly sheen.
• #48 (AMC Shine) is a pinky-plum with a frosty look.
• #15 (AMC Shine) is a fiery orange and a gold frost finish, though it’s not incredibly bright.
• #60 (AMC) is a semi-matte true yellow.
• #474 is a lightened yellow with a pearled sheen.
• #57 (AMC) is a darkened forest green with a satin-y feel.
• #58 (AMC) is a brightened grass green with a satin look.
• #447 is a spring-y leafy green with subtle sparkle.
• #59 (AMC) is a yellowed chartreuse with a satin sheen.
• #70 (AMC) is a medium sky blue with a satin feel.
• #05 (AMC Shine) is a brightened, light sky blue with a frosty sheen.
• #20 (AMC Shine) is a pale baby blue with a silvered sheen and frost finish.
• #24 (AMC Shine) is an aqua-blue with a bright frost sheen.
• #68 (AMC) is a blue-based purple with slight sparkle and sheen.
• #40 (AMC Shine) is a darkened plum-berry with silver sparkle and a frosty finish.
• #441 is a slightly iridescent light purple with a pearly sheen.
• #65 (AMC) is a deep, satin black with teal flecks of sparkle.
• #498 is a charcoal gray with teal sparkle strewn through it.

All of the shades I tried had great color pay off, were smooth and easy to work with, and there really is such a huge variety of colors available, so you’re sure to find at least a few that tickle your fancy.

For me, though, something about these felt a little one-note for me. Again, since I can’t see their full stock and variety, this is really based solely on my experience with these nineteen shades. It was just this color with a frost/pearl/satin sheen, but I didn’t see shades I’ve never seen before. I didn’t see green with blue and aqua shimmer. I didn’t see blue with a flash of gold.

The price on these is amazing, and there’s nothing about these that feels cheap. The packaging is sturdy, the eyeshadows seem about the same size as MAC eyeshadows, and they even have a full boutique–just like high-end brands. They are a great deal, and if you’re in the NYC area, I would definitely recommend checking Inglot out sometime.

I think the one thing I can say that I really didn’t like about these was how snug they are in the palettes. They really do not come out — the magnet is pretty strong. I gouged over half of the eyeshadows just trying to remove them. I don’t know about you, but I do rearrange my palettes from time to time, so ruining a bunch of them just to move them around is frustrating.

I know the next time I’m in NYC, I’ll be stopping by the Inglot store to see and learn more about their full line.

Recommendation: Not necessarily the most original shades on the block, Inglot matches the quality of high-end brands with the price of low-end.
