Cosmic Pearl #3
LELimited Edition.
Cosmic Pearl #4
Cosmic Pearl #4 is a medium, reddish-plum base with contrasting green-teal pearl and sheen. There was a slight shift to it, but I felt like I saw the contrasting shimmer/pearl more often than an actual shift. The texture was moderately dense, more like a gel-powder hybrid formula by touch and performance, as it picked up readily but had no powderiness and then “melted” onto my lid as I blended it out. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation that stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

I have so many rosy-toned palettes already but that one looks sooooo pretty…
A really good quality CT quad in shades that have been done many times by the brand before. I feel that this is an extension of her Pillow Talk range.
These colors look so pretty! Wondering how they will look on my deeper skin tone 🤔
Probably will show up better than a lot of CT quads but might still find it more of a softer, everyday look vs. a lot of depth, I would guess! I’d say like darker skin tones, like Fenty 300s, it might work well on but 400s, maybe not.
I think you’re right. I’m 450 in Fenty; though I have been surprised at some of the CT eyeshadows that do show up on me. Waiting for her to consistently make some deeper options! ❤️
Urban Decay vibes
Not for me, colour-wise, even if it were at a lower price point.
Although I know that this particular one would show up best on me, it’s the other one that’s reeling me in after seeing it on Charlotte Holdcraft. Her skin depth is close enough to mine to get some idea of how it would look like on me. But then I have an argument inside my head that I have MAC Texture and dupes scattered around my stash. Nothing as brilliantly glowy as that one, though.
