BUXOM Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz. each or $40.00 for 6 x 0.05 oz.) is a new formula that is available as a customizable palette system, where you can purchase a single shade and an individual compact for $13 or purchase a six-pan palette, plus six eyeshadows to go inside of it, for $40. Each eyeshadow is held inside a metal pan that is (presumably) glued into a plastic pan that snaps into the compact/palette. The eyeshadows are easily lifted in and out of the palette, so you can rearrange them or create a new combination if you have more than one set of six. They will fit into a Z-palette, but you’ll need to add a magnet to keep it in place. The eyeshadow formula is one that works better in action than swatched, as several of the mattes seemed on the thinner, more powdery side, but then they would blend exceptionally well while adhering to bare skin–and they wouldn’t fade any faster than the more shimmery eyeshadows. The more shimmery shades tended to outperform the matte shades with better color payoff. These eyeshadows seem to have a slightly firmer press to them (more in the style of your average MAC eyeshadow), and they feel quite different compared to bareMinerals’ Ready line, as those have a thicker, denser consistency.

BUXOM Pre-nup Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “shimmering emerald.” It’s a softened, medium-dark emerald green with cool undertones and a frosted sheen. It had great color payoff with a soft, blendable consistency that was a little powdery in the pan but didn’t look powdery on the skin. The color wore well for eight and a half hours before fading. NYX Seafoam Green (P, $4.50) is cooler. Make Up For Ever #52 (LE, $23.00) is warmer. Disney by Sephora Fins (LE, ) is less pigmented, warmer. Make Up For Ever ME304 Emerald (P, $21.00) is darker.

BUXOM Schmooze Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “shimmering turquoise.” It’s a brightened, slightly lighter-than-medium blue with a frosted sheen and almost “warm” undertones (but it is cool-toned). It had intense color payoff with a really soft, smooth texture that blended beautifully on the skin while wearing for eight and a half hours. Kat Von D Bukowski (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker. Sleek MakeUP Sunset #6 (P, $9.99) is darker, cooler. Urban Decay Unhinged (LE, $18.00) is darker, more muted, cooler. Disney by Sephora Diamond Sky (LE, ) is darker, more muted.

BUXOM Luxe Life Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “glimmering periwinkle.” It’s a brightened, medium-dark cornflower blue with cool, bluish-violet undertones and a faint lighter blue shimmer over a mostly matte finish. It had so-so pigmentation, which is likely due to the thinner, more powdery consistency. It looked better on the eye, as it was buildable, but it is a shade that needs extra help. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me. Hello Kitty Dear Daniel (LE, ) is lighter. Sugarpill Royal Sugar (P, $13.00) is darker, brighter. Sugarpill Velocity (P, $12.00) is darker, brighter.

BUXOM Posh Purple Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “shimmering violet.” It’s a lightly brightened, medium-dark violet purple with cool, blue undertones and a frosted finish. It was slightly drier and more powdery, which resulted in more semi-opaque coverage. It was buildable and with a denser brush, more opaque color was possible. This shade stayed on well for eight hours. Urban Decay Ransom (DC, $18.00) is less shimmery. Milani Primary #4 (P, $6.99) is darker. Disney by Sephora Sea Witch (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker.

BUXOM Wild Nights Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “shimmering sugar plum.” It’s a medium-dark plum with warm, orange undertones and a pink, frosted sheen. It had good color coverage with a blendable consistency, but it was slightly dry in overall texture–yet it worked really well on the skin. On me, the color started to crease after eight and a half hours. Makeup Geek Enchanted (P, $6.99) is darker, warmer. Sleek MakeUP A Vow in Venice (LE, $9.99) is less shimmery, darker. Urban Decay Last Call (P, $18.00) is darker. MAC Heritage Rouge (P, $21.00) is less shimmery, darker, warmer. NARS Desdemona (P, $29.00) is less shimmery.

BUXOM 24KT Stilettos Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “metallic gold.” It’s a brightened, medium gold with a metallic sheen and subtle gold sparkle. It’s an almost cool-toned gold, but it is still a yellowed gold. It was really rich in color, but the texture was so soft that it was on the powdery side. The color started to fade after nine hours of wear. Chanel Topkapi #4 (LE, ) is darker. Make Up For Ever #11 (P, $23.00) is darker. Urban Decay Disco (LE, $18.00) is less shimmery, more muted.
