Becca Ocean Jewels Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches

Ocean Jewels

Becca Ocean Jewels Eyeshadow Palette ($35.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a seven-pan, circular palette with five shimmery and two matte eyeshadows. One shade (Mermaid Pearl) is supposed to be an “eyeshadow topper,” which is designed to be sheerer so it can be layered on top of other shades. The palette was a big improvement from holiday’s iteration with respect to quality, and the shades themselves are a bit more complex, too. The palette is larger, and there is wasted space, which I know can be a deal-breaker for some.

Seashell

Seashell is a light, muted beige with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was smooth, velvety, and had enough substance to it to yield opaque coverage on my lid without need for a primer. It was easy to work with and wore well for seven hours on me.

Abalone

Abalone is a light-medium, pinky lavender with warmer undertones and a cooler, bluish-violet sheen. It had good pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that wasn’t too soft nor too firm in the pan. It applied well to bare skin and lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Ocean Jasper

Ocean Jasper is a light-medium, red-brown base with warm undertones and green-to-blue shifting pearl. I’ve seen variations on this type of duochrome before, but this one was a lot lighter than most (and it appeared noticeably lighter in practice than it did in the pan). The pigmentation was opaque, while the texture was smooth, soft, and blendable without being powdery or dry. This shade wore well for seven hours on me.

Tourmaline is a deep, red-toned brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, a little drier to the touch, but it blended out fairly well and was buildable to full coverage with two layers. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Sandstone

Sandstone is a muted, medium copper with warm, orange undertones and a metallic finish. The color payoff was nearly opaque with a looser, slightly dry consistency that applied decently on its own but needed a primer or a dampened brush to yield really rich, smooth coverage without fallout. It lasted for seven hours on me.

Spirit Quartz is a medium, golden taupe with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented and had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was effortless to apply and to blend out on my lid. The color stayed on well for eight hours on me.

Mermaid Pearl

Mermaid Pearl is a pale, white gold with subtle, warm undertones and iridescent shimmer. It had sheer coverage, which was by design, as it is intended to be used as an “eyeshadow topper.” The texture was a little drier and looser, and it applied best with fingertips patted over another product rather than using brushes. It wore well for seven hours on me and had slight fallout over time.
