Sugarpill x Edward Scissorhands Eyeshadow Palette
Sugarpill x Edward Scissorhands Eyeshadow Palette ($36.00 for 0.24 oz.) contains six eyeshadows that range from matte to frost, cool to warm in tone. I liked it overall; it’s not a slam-dunk, but it’s an interesting composition of shades–a row of cooler shades, a row of warmer shades–and it seems to be a play on light/dark motif in the movie (which admittedly, I have not seen in a decade or longer at this point).
Home Sweet Home is a light-medium, soft baby blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage with a blendable texture that ran a little powdery. It wore well for eight hours before fading on me. ColourPop Taco (LE, $6.00) is darker (85% similar). Dior Blue Lagoon (374) Eyeshadow #1 (LE, ) is warmer (85% similar). MAC Drag Strip #2 (LE, ) is lighter (90% similar). ColourPop Beauty Call (LE, $6.00) is brighter, warmer (85% similar). Make Up For Ever I212 Periwinkle (DC, $21.00) is darker (80% similar). bareMinerals Illusion (P, ) is lighter, brighter, warmer (80% similar). Dior Swimming Pool #3 (LE, ) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
Ice Angel is an iridescent, icy white with cool undertones and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a lightly dusty texture that was somewhat buildable.

I still love it. I really like the mix of warm and cool colors.
Yayy 😀
Dreamy, ethereal and wintry. The eye look you did here encompasses that whole vibe perfectly and looks fantastic on you. Me, not so much. I cannot pull off pale icy blues to save my life. My one wish for this palette would have been 8 smaller pans rather than 6 larger ones, and absolutely them including greens, or a rich leafy shimmery green (Topiary! ) and a light sunny metallic yellow ( Kim’s hair! ).
More shades would have been great!
That would have been great, and still worked with the cool-warm dynamic they have going on.
8 shades, all 6 here plus those other 2 I mentioned, could have put this one in my must-get zone! And better represented all the themes in this favorite, classic movie. I still may buy it, although pale blue just looks weird and all sorts of wrong on me!
I was thinking the same thing about green and yellow! Theoretically I would’ve included a matte mint green and lavender/pink, too 🙂
What a beautiful eye look, Christine! Home Sweet Home and Castle on the Hill are lovely enough by themselves to make me seriously consider this palette.
Thank you, Tammy!
I really like it. It’s not something I would usually go for but I really like Home Sweet Home and Suburbia together. The whole bottom row seems useful as well as the white. It does kind of capture the movie’s contrast of saccharine suburbia versus dark fantasy, but it’s hard to do that in only six shades.
I agree – I see the theme/concept, but you are right: hard to do it in six shades!
AAAAH! I love themed palettes so much, but I don’t think I can justify this one… I have dupes for almost all of the shades but the concept is so lovely. I love the look you did with it.
I wish more brands would do movie-inspired palettes more often! I would die if a brand did a Time Burton palette collection (Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Sweeney Todd…), kind of like how Sephora did their Disney palette line. And who could forget UD’s Pulp Fiction palette? Perfection! 🙂
I bet more brands would love to do it, but the licensing is tough!
Ice Angel and Inventor are my favorite shades!
Nice picks!
I’m really happy this did good! I was going to buy this regardless. I bought it at the stroke of midnight when it was released. I was fourteen when this movie was out and that was a tough age for me, as I think it is for most. I remember this movie clear as day and I’m getting the movie when it comes out too. I think this was a great idea that Sugarpill came up with. I’m not sure if I am going to actually use mine or not yet, lol. I saw someone on Instagram layering the light white and dark gray to make an iridescent purple shade. It was really pretty cool.
Ice Angel is really nice for layering (I think it is best layered!).
These shades look pretty in the pan, but after seeing them swatched I think they may not be very flattering for a lot of people. The undertones seem a little weird, maybe? I can’t quite put my finger on it, they just seem like they’d be tough to make a good look with. Too bad, I was excited about this one.
I get what you mean! I think they work together, but it’s not a conventional combination.
I like the cover and the gray shadow!
lol, one out of six!
I felt bad about not being able to purchase this palette financially, but I feel better after seeing the review.
Glad I could help ease the pain! 🙂
I love ES but I couldn’t be less interested in the color scheme of this palette.
Bummer! 🙁
I love the first three colours – but the bottom row colours don’t seem to match up. That grey is stunning and so is your eye look. A confused palette I think.
Thanks, Genevieve!
I normally go for vibrant jewel tones (been really digging cool toned burgundy, lately) but something about this palette called to me. Maybe it was the move tie in, maybe it was that bright coral color….but I now sit, patiently waiting for it to show up. Definitely stayed up late to order it! Now, to figure out what to do with that blue…
I hope you love it 😀
I like the colors in this palette. It seems like a really unique and useful combination of cool and warm, light and dark, matte and non-matte. If I didn’t have dupes of everything but Ice Angel, I’d definitely be getting it. (My dupe of Home Sweet Home is satin, not matte, but that’s still not enough to justify it, unfortunately.)
Satin is close enough, I think!
I adore the packaging! But I’m not in love with the colors 🙁
Aww!
The eye look you created is beautiful! It’s making me rethink passing on this palette.
Thank you, Michelle!
I really want to want this palette and have been weighing it back and forth before the next (and last) shipment comes in but it is just so similar to Kat Von D’s Esperanza palette that I can’t justify it. I even have the other Kat palettes you mention dupes from lol.
Awww!
