Ardency Inn Sunday MODSTER Manuka Honey Enriched Pigments

Here are the next four shades of the Ardency Inn MODSTER Manuka Honey Enriched Pigments ($21.00 for 0.06 oz.) that I’ve tested! I really loved and was impressed by all the shades except one, which was less pigmented, but the other three had fantastic color payoff, soft, buttery textures, and wore for ten hours before fading/creasing.

Ardency Inn Sunday MODSTER Manuka Honey Enriched Pigments ($21.00 for 0.06 oz.) is described as a “universal beige pearl with gold and pink undertones.” It’s a brightened, light-medium gold with warm, orange undertones and a frosted, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented, and the texture had such a soft, buttery feel. It lasted for ten hours before lightly creasing. Tarte Golden Locket (LE) is cooler-toned. Stila Vitality (P) is darker. Tarte Up to No Gold (LE) is darker. Milani Bella Sand (02) (P, $3.99) is darker. Dior Sundeck #2 (LE) is more muted. Divergent Golden Honesty (LE) is slightly warmer. theBalm #41 (P, $6.50) is lighter. Bobbi Brown 24 Karat (LE, $28.00) is a cream product. MAC Until Dawn #2 (LE, $21.00) is lighter. Sleek MakeUP Meet in Madrid (LE, $9.99) is similar. Too Faced Honey Honey (LE, $16.00) is darker. MAC Creative Copper (P, $15.00) is darker. Urban Decay Blunt (P, $18.00) is less shimmery. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Ardency Inn Heaven MODSTER Manuka Honey Enriched Pigments ($21.00 for 0.06 oz.) is described as a “metallic champagne with silver and bronze undertones.” It’s a neutral-to-cool toned, antique gold with a frosted, metallic finish. It was so intensely pigmented–a little goes quite a ways!–with a creamy, buttery texture that blends and applies well. It wore well for ten hours without creasing or fading. NARS Kauai #1 (P, $24.00) is slightly darker. Too Faced Tinsel (LE, $16.00) is a touch warmer. bareMinerals Chart Topper (LE) is warmer, less shimmery. bareMinerals Gold Medal (P, $16.00) is more sparkly. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Ardency Inn Vintage Gold MODSTER Manuka Honey Enriched Pigments ($21.00 for 0.06 oz.) is described as a “sparkly khaki with warm gold reflects.” It’s a medium-dark, warm-toned brown with a sparkly, gold shimmer. The consistency of this shade has an almost wet-feel to it that is thinner but emollient on the skin, and while it is buildable, it was only semi-opaque. It lasted for nine hours before creasing slightly, and I did have a tiny bit of fall out over time. Sleek MakeUP Aladdin’s Lamp (LE, $9.99) is darker, cooler-toned. Chanel Tisse Mademoiselle #4 (P) is grayer. Too Faced Leopard (LE, $16.00) is darker. MAC A Harvest of Greens #2 (P, $21.00) is lighter. bareMinerals Embellish (LE) is darker. Too Faced Buche de Noel (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery. MAC Sketchbook (LE, $15.00) is less shimmery. Dior Bonne Etoile (384) #3 (LE) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Ardency Inn Hell MODSTER Manuka Honey Enriched Pigments ($21.00 for 0.06 oz.) is described as a “grey pearl with a slight red undertone.” It’s a dark, warm-toned taupe with reddish undertones and a pearly sheen. The color payoff was excellent, and the texture was buttery and soft. It blended well, and it wore well for ten hours without creasing or fading. Tom Ford Beauty Nude Dip #4 (LE) is warmer. Chanel Tisse Rivoli #1 (P) is lighter, cooler-toned. Illamasqua Acute (P) is a cream product. MAC Constructivist (P, $18.50) is a cream product. Inglot #402 (P, $6.00) is warmer. Urban Decay Nameless (LE, $18.00) is darker. Urban Decay Lost (LE, $18.00) is similar. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Wow, Heaven and Hell are amazing (that’s the strangest sentence I’ve said today)!

What a pity Vintage Gold is a bummer though. It would have been a BEAUTIFUL shade!

These are simply gorgeous! I love these sorts of eyeshadow colours and the look you did really shows them off in all their glory. I do wish there were small, less pricey pans (or maybe a quad with 4 smaller pans) because, wanting all of these, it gets pricey (and I don’t think they’re sold at Sephora in Canada).

Dear Ardency Inn – PLEASE make a palette of this shadow for the holidays or something! I would absolutely love to try it out, but I never use single eyeshadows and $21 is above my price point. I would totally splurge on a palette though!

Hi Christine! I think this is one of the first times I’m commenting.. how exciting! 😀 I was curious as to how you feel these compare to the Makeup Forever Artist Eyeshadows? But with your A+ rating on these I think I’m going to have to pick a few up. 😉

While I can appreciate the quality, I’m thinking these are too heavy shimmery for my tastes. Tough balancing act, I find, between enough to make skin on eyes look lively and glowy and then a tip towards super shimmer which has the unfortunate ability to accent imperfections on aging skin. I would have to see these in action on my own skin. For the swatches here, I preferred the lower grade shade Vintage Gold which looks more wearable for my eyes.

They all look amazing! It’s like if UD’s Maui Wowie (minus the glitter) and Chase (one of my fave eyeshadows ever because of color, texture, and application) had a baby, that’s what it would look like. I will have it check these out, even though I really shouldn’t because I have WAY too many eyeshadows as it is, especially neutral ones!!!!

Hey Christine, how do you think Heaven compares to Giorgio Armani eyes to kill #14? I just got my hands on it after all these years and it’s probably the most amazing eyeshadow I own. If I could, I’d just roll around in it lol. Just curious since they’re both a green toned antique gold.
