Viseart Libertine 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette

Libertine

Viseart Libertine 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($49.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a new, permanent palette that’s exclusive to Beautylish. It contains five matte shades and four shimmer shades. Three of the five mattes are “sheer matte pigments,” which are marketed as a wet/dry formula. If you’re someone who wants to be able to use every shade easily in a palette and wants them to perform similarly to each other, I’d look at a different Viseart palette. If you’re into using your eyeshadows as eyeliners, you may appreciate the new finish/formula found in this particular palette. I highly recommend reading through the way the palette is supposed to be used before purchasing it to ensure that it will work for your application style.

I would expect that the brand and its creator would be the best to describe the formula of this palette, which is what I’m deferring to, but I do find that this palette is less consumer-friendly and more pro-friendly. Within the Libertine palette, one will find two new formulas, which are labeled as pigments and are specifically “not” creamy in texture (and they are, in fact, a little drier and a touch grainy). For example, Empowered is described as usable for “all over” as a “wash of color” or “wet as an eyeliner.” Defiance is described as a “hard pressed tattoo pigment” that can be “used as an eyeliner” but for “all over color” one is to “blend carefully.” Debauched can be used “all over” but is listed as a “hard pressed sheer matte fuchsia pigment.”

I reached out to Viseart/Anastasia on the new formula, and from that conversation, these were my takeaways: they have a similar ingredient list but they are pressed significantly harder in order to be able take more water (as they are designed to be used wet or dry as liner) but that they are packed with extra pigment to balance.

Sephora’s house brand has a lot of good products, and I like that they tend to release a slew of different shades, not just “traditional” colors or textures. They reformulate a bit too often, though. As far as the retailer itself, they have such a terrible rewards system that I just sit on my points in hopes that one day they’ll be useful for something. Their shipping costs/thresholds for free shipping are pretty good at my reward level, and they usually ship well, though there’s one warehouse region that ships terribly (crumpled up paper and little else, much like Ulta!). I’ve generally had good customer service when I’ve had issues with orders. They have a vast selection products, and while they don’t have tons of sales, they have them fairly reliably so one can plan, at least.

Milano (501)

Giorgio Armani Milano (501) Rouge d’Armani Matte Lip Color ($38.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium, rosy mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had rich color coverage that applied evenly and smoothly in a single layer. The consistency was velvety, denser but smooth as I applied it to my lips, yet it managed to feel lightweight while worn. It had good adherence but did not settle into my lip lines, and it stayed on well for seven hours on me. The formula felt lightly hydrating while worn as well, which was a nice bonus!

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.14 oz. - $271.43 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "intensely pigmented" with a "long lasting matte" finish ("8-hour wear") and is "non-drying." It had a denser consistency that seemed thicker but wasn't heavy, and there was just enough slip that it applied in a fluid, single stroke without tugging on my lips, but it didn't feel wet or cream-like on. The shades I tried were richly pigmented and applied evenly without emphasizing my lip lines. The formula felt almost powder-like, which gave it a velvety, denser feel compared to the average lipstick, likely due to the various silicones (dimethicone is the first ingredient). They lasted between six and eight hours on me and were non-drying to lightly hydrating. They did not seem to have any fragrance or taste.

Thanks to @pialovescolor for today's question!

How important is quantity for the price?

For most products, it doesn’t make a big difference to me personally but that’s as someone who does not expect or aspire to finish anything due to the nature of my job. If I was just a consumer, I’d likely feel different to an extent – I don’t need the buy most products in bulk but wouldn’t want to feel like I was getting ripped off either.
