Sydney Grace Be Mine (Light) Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Be Mine (Light)
Sydney Grace Be Mine (Light) Eyeshadow Palette ($52.00 for 0.95 oz.) is a new, permanent eyeshadow palette that includes 15 shades spread across seven matte shades and eight shimmer shades. The palette is available in a Light and Deep version with six shades being adjusted to work better on Lighter vs. Darker skin tones. You’ll see these shades indicated by “(Light)” after the shade name, and I have provided a verbal description of the difference along with a side-by-side swatch comparison.
For those who like more neutral-to-warm, slightly muted neutral eyeshadows that lean a little pink, it would be a nice option to pick up and is consistent with the brand’s high quality formulas.

Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

It had opaque color coverage that stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.
It was lighter and grayer compared to the Deep version.

Cupid is a medium, pinky-plum with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The texture was slightly dense, lightly emollient, and blendable without being difficult to pick up with a dry brush. It had opaque color payoff that stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce
The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.
Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me.

Eye Candy
Eye Candy is a deep olive green with muted, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, almost cream-like texture to the touch, but it was dense and firm enough not to be powdery but still blended out with ease. It lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Smitten
Smitten is a medium-dark, warmer black with a slightly sparkle throughout its metallic finish. It was denser and thicker compared to most of the brand’s eyeshadows, which may have been to help the more noticeable sparkles bind with the underlying product, but it did require a heavier handed approach to pick up product evenly. This shade wore nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing.

Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

Because I prefer Smooch, All Mine and Love Me in this version, this could possibly be it. I only worry that Smooch may be too close in tone to Heart Dog? I’ll have to do a side-by-side comparison to be sure there’s no overlap. As for the two lightest pinks…I just don’t know.
Answering for myself (and probably Genevieve too), LOVE the first and third rows but that middle row….nah! And for Genevieve’s sake, I’ll add “I wish they hadn’t included that black shade” (and I’d gladly swap it out for Cupid….even though it’s pinky/burgundy, it’s a shade and finish I’m starting to play nice with). I’m so glad I have several dupes for Crush on You and Eye Candy which to me are the stand out shades in this, as wells as dupes for Smooch and Baby Cakes.
You know me too well Mariella! I also have dupes (probably the same as yours!) for the shades I love – those olive shades are beautiful – but that pink row spoils it all for the both of us!
For some reason this skipped my radar. Pretty, I really like this color story! The grundy green/olives, plums and pinks are unique in a Valentines day palette. Will be picking up the deep one.
I love all the olive toned shades in this palette and of course, the quality is fabulous. But that middle row of pinks really doesn’t ‘go’ with olive tones at all. Now if they’d had a row of goldy shades, I would be all over this palette.
I don’t usually go crazy over metallic black or charcoal type colors, but smitten is calling to me. I’m also very into light pinks like flirty lately, applied slightly sheered out. It looks like a really nice palette.
I cannot wait to get this palette!
There’s a lot to love about this palette, I think. There are just a few of the matte shades that I don’t like, the brown ones, Love Me and All Mine. I don’t know why I don’t like them, but I don’t.
I also have a feeling I can dupe a lot and will have to take some time really studying the dupes.
See me, trying to be practical and talk myself out of loving this palette! I know I don’t need it, but I do want it, as everything is though, I have to stick to a very low low buy. Stupid bills one have to pay! 😀
I just received this and two other newer palettes….I swear, the formula for the shimmers feel so much thicker now than last year’s enduring love palette and even tiny marvels. Does anybody else feel like the formula has changed?
I think the formula for Smitten is definitely thicker, but I think it is because of the larger shimmer/sparkle in it. The other ones felt more similar than not to me!
