Mermaid Scales

Glaminatrix Mermaid Scales Foiled Pressed Pigment ($11.74 for 0.064 oz.) seemed to have more of a translucent base chocked full of shifting shimmer that went from pale, icy blue to green to lavender. I wouldn’t describe it as a strong multichrome shift, but it was categorized as a multichrome and I was able to see three shifts–they were just subtler overall.

The texture was smooth, more loosely-pressed so using a light touch was necessary to avoid fallout, but the formula itself seemed to transfer well to bare skin and adhere without having fallout over time. It had medium to semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation, which seemed to deliver better coverage in practice than when I initially swatched it. This shade that lasted decently for eight hours before showing signs of wear.

Sandra

Glaminatrix Sandra Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.064 oz.) is a deep navy blue with cooler undertones and iridescent sparkle over a metallic finish.

It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Blue Jeans

Glaminatrix Blue Jeans Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.064 oz.) is a faded, medium-dark blue with strong, cool undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed but not to the point where it was prone to fallout, that adhered well to bare skin. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Ingredients

Silk Mica (77019), Nylon 12, Boron Nitride, Carnauba Mica (77019), Magnesium Myristate, Magnesium Stearate, Lauroyl Lysine, Zinc Stearate, Fractionated Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride), Dimethicone.

Arctic

Glaminatrix Arctic Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.064 oz.) is a pale blue with warmer, golden shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was best applied with a fingertip or a dampened brush to get full coverage without getting fallout as the texture was more loosely-pressed. I was able to build it up with a dry brush and get only minimal fallout if I was careful. It showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

Sapphire

Glaminatrix Sapphire Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.064 oz.) is a rich, cobalt blue with strong, cool undertones and a satin sheen. The texture was moderately dense without being overly firm, so it still picked up readily with a dry brush and transferred product onto my lid without having fallout. The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Ingredients
