Marc Jacobs Beauty O!Mega Gel Powder Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a new, permanent powder eyeshadow formula that released recently, and I’ve wrapped up reviews on all the shades available, so let’s recap! The formula promises “12 hours” of wear with “high-impact, crease-resistant color.” The matte shades were very smooth and finely-milled that they felt almost cream-like, though they were definitely a powder. They were pigmented and most shades blended out easily over bare skin with eight to nine hour wear. The shimmery shades were creamier, a bit more silicone-like by touch, but they weren’t too dense or too thick, so they didn’t emphasize my lid texture and still applied well with brushes. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me and were typically quite pigmented.

I swatched these in store last week, and they are so, so nice. For me they’d be worth it, if I didn’t already have the shades I need in this range. Still, I can see picking one or another up in the future, for a basic / core item and considering cost of many other brands’ single eyeshadows that are as often as not only adequate quality, I can see it.
