Daydreamer

Dominique Cosmetics Daydreamer Beautiful Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a darker, reddish-brown base with flecks of lighter gold and bronze sparkle and shimmer. It had semi-opaque coverage–far more than most shades in the range–with a chunkier, thicker consistency that was less watery and thin.

It was easier to work with the included-applicator, as the thicker consistency wasn’t as prone to streaking and enabled me to get a more even layer of shimmer and color. I still found a separate brush was easier to work with, but I was able to use a fingertip gently diffuse and soften the layer of product if I used the included doe-foot applicator. I wouldn’t apply a second layer as it created a very thick, texture emphasizing level of product that cracked and flaked over time–so no, not buildable. You get one layer and you work with it! With one layer on, it lasted well for 10 hours with very slight flaking after eight or so hours.

Formula Overview

$20.00/0.27 oz. - $74.07 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "blendable, buildable, [and] fool-proof" and is available in three finishes. The formula varied wildly from shade to shade with respect to consistency, pigmentation, application, and longevity... It's extremely inconsistent to the point where I'm not sure why the brand released these together and/or didn't provide more accurate breakdown of each shade.

Most shades dried down fairly quickly and set in place for a transfer-resistant and long-wearing finish, but the struggle came in when they were layered--built up in coverage as marketed--and became thicker, more uneven, and then I experienced a bit of flaking. The sheerer shades tended to apply more unevenly, so it took some effort to apply and diffuse while retaining coverage (a fingertip often absorbed half the product applied!). I found a fluffy, synthetic brush tended to work best to diffuse and soften the layer of product without creating more unevenness or patchiness.

The formula was more watery than not, though one shade, Shy Girl, was very much the outlier as it was opaque in a single layer, thicker, and applied quite evenly. The other shades were varying degrees of sheer, harder to build up, uneven application, and were generally fussier to work with.

Shy Girl

Dominique Cosmetics Shy Girl Beautiful Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a muted, darker mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. This was the real outlier in the range, as it was opaque in coverage in a single layer (when the formula was supposed to be buildable!) and had a flat, matte finish (the others are shimmery).

The consistency was less watery and thin, but it wasn’t too thick so it didn’t take long to dry down. The product applied evenly with the included applicator as well as with fingertips and with synthetic brushes. You’ll want to work one eye at a time and diffuse after giving it a few seconds to “soft set” to avoid potentially lifting the product off the skin by attempting to blend it after it sets. It stayed on nicely for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Vibey Vixen

Dominique Cosmetics Vibey Vixen Beautiful Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark purple with subtle, cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good color payoff in a single layer, so it wasn’t quite what I’d expect from a formula touted as buildable.

On the upside, because the formula wasn’t particularly user-friendly, higher coverage meant less layers, which resulted in better application and longevity than if it had been sheer. The texture as thin, more watery but dried down fast enough that it didn’t settle into fine lines or crack. The included applicator did a decent job of laying down the product, but I would recommend a fluffy, synthetic brush–not fingertips!–to diffuse the product for a more even layer of product and to soften the edges. Fingertips picked up product and created uneven, bald patches, unfortunately. Once on, it lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing, but a second layer resulted in flaking after seven hours of wear.

Cold Heart

Dominique Cosmetics Cold Heart Beautiful Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a light-medium blue base with flecks of cooler gold sparkle throughout. It had a more frosted finish to its base, which was prone to emphasizing lid texture and getting chunky if built up (which the formula was supposed to do!). The texture was thin, more watery, and was one of the hardest to apply with any sense of evenness from the range.

It had sheer, uneven coverage that dried down fairly quickly and set in place for all-day wear (10 hours without fading/creasing). If I tried to apply a second or third layer for greater opacity, the product looked uneven in thickness and was more prone to flaking/cracking a bit. I’d recommend using a fluffy, synthetic brush to diffuse it all over the lid… and it’s best if you’re someone who wants a bit of a “beautiful mess” on the lids.

Electric Soul

Dominique Cosmetics Electric Soul Beautiful Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) has a transparent base with multichromatic shimmer that shifted from golden green to brighter green to lavender. The shift was subtle compared to the multichrome products I’ve tried in the past, but the transparent base made it more forgiving (compared to a black base).

It had sheer coverage, which could be built up slightly, but I would not apply more than two layers (medium coverage) because a third layer (semi-opaque coverage) made it physically uneven in thickness and resulted in some flaking during wear. The consistency was thin, watery but applied more smoothly (with respect to thickness), though it was harder to get an even layer of product. The high-shine, more metallic finish made the imperfections in application less noticeable from a normal viewing distance, thankfully.

It lasted for 10 hours without fading or flaking on me, as long as I kept it to no more than two layers. I’d recommend using the included-applicator to get an initial layer of coverage, let it dry slightly, and then use a fluffy, synthetic brush to even out the layer a bit.

Pretty Wild

Dominique Cosmetics Pretty Wild Beautiful Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) had a transparent base and a metallic shimmer that shifted from warm, lighter green to warmer gold to copper. The shimmer was larger in size, so it had a chunkier finish compared to Electric Soul. It had more medium coverage in a single layer, which was somewhat buildable, but it was fussy to work with to get an even layer of product that actually looked even, too.

The watery, thin texture was prone to looking streaky, as the included applicator was an absolute nightmare to use as it pushed around the shimmer and left bald patches. I’d bypass the applicator entirely when working with this shade as it just made life miserable. The best method I came across was using a flat, synthetic brush to pick up product and then gently pressed the product onto my lid. I let it dry for a few seconds and then used a fluffy, synthetic brush to gently diffuse and blend the product together without disturbing it too much.

Once it dried down, it wore for 10 hours without fading/flaking, though I’d be careful applying second or third layers as it was more prone to flaking and emphasizing lid texture (with noticeable chunkiness) when layered up… so it was not a particularly buildable formula in experience–at least not practically.

Dominique Cosmetics Latte 2 Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Christine — Sat, 29 Feb 2020 20:00:00 +0000

Latte 2

Dominique Cosmetics Latte 2 Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.63 oz.) is a new, 10-pan palette that features a mix of neutrals with pops of marigold, coral, and mint green. The weakest performer was Frappe, which had glitter that migrated a little bit during blending, semi-opaque color coverage, and a firmer/stiffer texture. Frothy was a little powdery and prone to sheering out, while Cafecito took more effort to blend out but both were workable. The majority of the remaining shades were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing.

The brand did reach out and confirmed that Frappe is the shade that contains plastic glitter.

Cafecito

Cafecito is a deep brown with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a soft, slightly firmer texture in the pan, so there was no powderiness and was easier to pick up precisely. The eyeshadow applied fairly evenly and blended out without much effort; for someone who prefers to build up coverage, the texture worked well for that but it took extra effort to diffuse from full coverage. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Coffee Beans

Coffee Beans is a deep brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was slightly brighter and warmer-toned compared to Cafecito, and while they weren’t dupes, they seemed a little too similar to have in a single palette. It would have been more useful if one was two shades lighter or so. The texture was soft, lightly powdery with a smidgen of fallout during application if I wasn’t careful to tap off the excess. It had excellent pigmentation that applied evenly and blended out well. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours showing signs of fading.

Iced Coffee

Iced Coffee is a rich, chocolaty brown with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was intensely pigmented in a single layer, and the texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense without being too thick. It applied evenly to bare skin and diffused well along the edges. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours with a touch of fallout over time.

Frappe

Frappe has a light-medium peach base with moderate, warm undertones and a glittering, metallic finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer but had to be built up to get to full coverage. The micro-glitter seemed to separate from the base shade a bit, so it didn’t have a uniform distribution when applied to my skin. The consistency was denser, a little too firmly-pressed into the pan, so it needed a heavier hand to jab gently at the surface to dislodge product. It stayed on well for eight hours with light fallout over time.

This shade includes plastic glitter, which the FDA confirmed is not approved for cosmetic use and some brands include a warning that shades containing this ingredient are not intended for the “eye area.” In contrast, EU’s CosIng database allows for the use of plastic glitter in cosmetics without any restrictions that I’ve been able to find.

NOTICE: All products categorized under "Glitter" contain Polyethylene Terephthalate, also known as plastic or PET glitter, and it is typically cosmetic grade glitter. Inclusion of this ingredient sometimes carries a warning (in the US) that the product is "not intended for use in the immediate eye area." This ingredient has not been approved for usage on the eyes per the FDA. In recent years, some brands are including this product in their eyeshadows without any warning or callout and effectively marketing them as eyeshadows or including a symbol of an "eye" which suggests eye usage. Via CosIng for EU, PET glitter is permitted without any restrictions or limitations. For an in-depth look at whether cosmetic grade glitter is safe, please view this post.

Strawberry Milk

Strawberry Milk is a medium-dark, pink-coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied well to bare skin as the color went on evenly and blended out without difficulty along the edges. The texture was smooth to the touch without being overly powdery. It lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Matcha

Matcha is a brighter, mint green with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin but diffused slightly to more semi-opaque coverage that wasn’t quite as bright applied. I’d recommend wearing this over an eyeshadow primer as a result. The consistency was soft, a little powdery but not prone to fallout. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading visibly.

Christine — Fri, 24 Jan 2020 17:00:00 +0000

Dominique Cosmetics Latte 2 Eyeshadow Palette ($42.00) is the newest palette from the brand released for their 2-year anniversary. The palette launches today at 10AM PT.

As a note, there is at least one shade that contained visible glitter (Frappe), and the ingredient list does list plastic glitter in the formula. Unfortunately, the ingredient list applies to all shades, so it’s unclear if only one (or some number less than 10 as several shades seemed completely matte to me) include plastic glitter. It is listed as an eyeshadow palette, and there are no disclosures/warnings — I just thought Frappe might have actual glitter and when I edited photos, I saw plastic glitter in the ingredient list.

Secondary note, it is “mocha scented,” though mine arrived as a press sample, so mine actually smells more like the coffee beans included in the press kit (hoping the actual scent will be clearer in a few days)!

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Storm Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Christine — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Celestial Storm

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Storm Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.63 oz.) is a new palette for fall that features several pops of color paired with orange, copper, and taupe to ground them. I enjoyed the color story quite a bit personally, and I liked how the left side was “cooler” and the right side was “warmer,” so the color groupings made sense visually, which made it easier to visualize how to use the palette.

The mattes were lovely–dense, substantial, pigmented, and blendable–and with primer underneath, they’d really sing. The shimmers ranged from dismal (hello, Stargaze) to good, but they didn’t reach the heights of past palettes by the brand as they all seemed to be a bit more firmly-pressed in the pan and felt thinner, less cream-like.

Electric Amethyst

Electric Amethyst is a rich, fuchsia pink with cool, bluish undertones and flecks of violet and pink shimmer and micro-sparkle. It appeared purple in the pan but definitely was a fuchsia shade in practice. It had a firmer, denser consistency, though it seemed to soften slightly after repeated use. The product had opaque color coverage applied dry as well as wet. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before creasing slightly.

Stargaze

Stargaze is a blackened, bluish-teal with cool undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was very firm, stiff, and dry to the touch, which made it a real beast to work with. It was a case of “one of these things isn’t like the others,” and the eyeshadow felt so out of place in the palette because of how stiff it was and how poor it worked/applied. With the black base, it was hard to use it as a topper because so little product transferred from the pan to brush or fingertip (it actually applied the worst with fingertips as all the product stuck to my fingertip and nothing translated onto my lid!).

It did, in fact, have sheer coverage as described (this was the only “topper” shade described as sheer), and if used with a wet brush, it had more medium coverage. The edges just did not blend out, and it had a rough, textured look on my skin. The product stayed on decently for six and a half hours on me.

Eternal Light

Eternal Light is a light, peachy beige with warm, golden undertones paired with a sparkling, metallic finish. It had larger, silver micro-glitter throughout, so there was some fallout during application and later on during wear if it wasn’t applied with an adhesive spray or over a tacky base. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, and I thought that the wet application would improve it, but it made it harder to apply it evenly. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

Mystic Ice

Mystic Ice is a medium teal with cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was slightly powdery in the pan, and it sheered out a touch during application but would be better over a primer. Otherwise, the eyeshadow had a smooth, velvety, more substantial feel that wasn’t prone to fallout and blended out without too much effort. I did find this shade was more challenging to work with compared to the other mattes in the palette, though. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Solstice

Solstice is a light, peachy copper with warmer, golden undertones and flecks of peach and pink sparkle. It had semi-sheer coverage applied dry and more opaque coverage when applied with a wet brush. There were a few shades in the palette referred to as toppers, but only one of the shades was described as sheer (so on the flip side, the rest should not be sheer)–and it wasn’t this one.

It had a more sparkly texture, though it didn’t feel gritty, and for as sparkly as this shade was, I didn’t have much fallout, though there was some. It applied best with fingertips or a dampened brush, which helped the product to adhere more evenly and minimized fallout. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me but had slight fallout over time.

Fireball

Fireball is a brighter, medium copper with warm, orange undertones and flecks of pink to copper shifting shimmer. It had opaque pigmentation applied dry as well as wet, but in order to get the depth of the shade as viewed in the pan, the eyeshadow needed to be applied with a wet brush. The texture was soft, smooth, and picked up well with a brush. It lasted well for eight hours on me before I noticed signs of wear.

Dominique Celestial Storm Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.50 oz.) is a new palette for fall that includes 12 shades with a mix of shimmers and mattes. It will be available at Sephora soon, but there is no specific launch date yet (but it is available through the brand presently).

Note: There are three shades that are listed as Pressed Pigments: Electric Amethyst, Lucid Dream, and Astrid Lust; the ingredient list says they “may contain” Red 7 and Red 28, which are not currently approved by the FDA for use on the immediate eye area, though they are approved for use on the eyes in EU (via CosIng).

Dominque Cosmetics Rustic Glam Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Christine — Mon, 08 Jul 2019 21:00:00 +0000

Rustic Glam

Dominique Cosmetics Rustic Glam Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.63 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that features 12 shades across a few neutrals along with pops of color ranging from blue to pink to green. The color story was interesting–a bit different than what we’ve seen in the past–and most of the shades performed well with good pigmentation, blendability, and eight-hour wear.

I commented previously here (and you can read some of the discussion on that post as well) with respect to the brand using the word g*psy as a shade name; it is a word that’s historical context and use has made it a racial slur against the Romani people. As I said before, I had hoped that the brand would address it/apologize (and learn from it), as it is a limited edition palette and wouldn’t expect a re-run of it, but I haven’t seen anything from the brand at this point (please feel free to let me know otherwise). Here are a few articles of interest for those who would like to understand more: article one, article two, and video one.

Fringe

Fringe is a medium, yellowed peach with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that adhered well to bare skin and blended out with ease. The texture was soft, lightly powdery, but finely-milled and not prone to fallout or sheering out too readily. It stayed on nicely for seven and a half hours on me before I noticed fading.

Dream Catcher

Dream Catcher is a bright, light blue with strong, cool undertones and faint sparkle over a matte finish. Most of the sparkle disappeared between my brush and my lid, though a few remained (and a good portion of what did transfer dropped over time). The texture was quite soft, moderately powdery, and while blendable, it did sheer out noticeably on my skin despite having more opaque coverage when initially applied. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before I noticed fading.

Bohemian

Bohemian is a medium-dark copper with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a smooth, moderately creamy texture (seemed quite silicone-heavy) that applied fairly evenly but worked best by pressing and patting on or when applied with a fingertip. Fluffier brushes tended to push the product around a bit unevenly in my experience. It wore well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

Moon Child is a deeper black with subtle, cool undertones and a faint iridescent sparkle over the more matte finish. There was some sparkle that translated onto my lid, but it functioned mostly as a matte black hue.

Christine — Sat, 22 Jun 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Dominique Cosmetics Rustic Glam Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.60 oz.) is a new, limited palette that features 12 shades across a mix of mattes and shimmers.

One note: The brand named one of their eyeshadows g*psy, which is a racial slur against the Romani people. I’m aware that some people are still learning about the history and context behind this word, why it is a racial slur, and removing it from their vocabulary, so I sincerely hope the brand wasn’t aware and named it this anyway. It seems likely that they intended the meaning of it to be in the vein of “free spirit,” as that’s another name used in the palette, so here are five alternatives that I think would suit the mix of theme of desert/free spirit used in the other names: Freethinker, Daydreamer, Stargazer, Canyon, and Desert Rose. I hope the brand will consider releasing a statement (if they have, I haven’t seen it…), and if they re-manufacture the palette (it is listed as limited edition), they’ll rename the shade.
