Formula Overview
$19.00/0.05 oz. - $380.00 Per Ounce
The formula is designed to have a gray base with multi-colored glitter particles (but not actual, plastic (PET) glitter); the gray base is supposed to--and does--make it easier to diffuse and blend out the eyeshadow without muting the shifts while doing so.
The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense without being firmly-pressed in the pan, and easy to pick up with a brush for an even application on the lid. I had no trouble applying or diffusing the edges, and they were easier to diffuse/blend out along those edges than the black-based multichromes. The eyeshadows were intensely pigmented.
On me, the formula lasted closer to nine hours on average before showing signs of fading. There was minimal fallout during application but not during wear.

All five look like really beautiful, and somewhat more unique shifts than what’s more typical. My picks are: Ferric, Oxidize and Ion. If I could afford all of this set, I would get them all!
HOW do they do this? These are so beautiful. I know know that they’re really “my thing” (I do like the colour I apply to be the colour I apply, rather than shift between green and red and orange, for example) but still, I marvel at the magical beauty of these and Oxidize looks like it would maybe be a shade I might maybe, perhaps, maybe wear!
A very expensive pigment does the shifting! Clionadh always takes it to the next level, though.
Simply stunning!
The color shifts on these are so impressive! Oxidize in particular is calling to me.
Oxidize is a real winner. I love all the shifts. I like Catalyst as well. Both went to the WL.
I’m really happy they are permanent.
Oh my gosh. I love all of these. I doubt they would look really spectacular on my crepey, sagging lids but I sure would enjoy them regardless. Tarnish is the perfect me shade and so that one for sure, and probably a couple of the others. I just today purchased a couple of the Viseart Petit Four palettes after looking at your reviews. I think one of the ones I picked up was not that highly rated but the others rated well and I personally enjoy Viseart shadows. I should like pairing these with some of the mattes from Viseart.
The first three are sooooo useable to me in a cool-toned look with say the ND Retro palette or any quality soft pink and grey mattes.
