Best & Worst of Touch in Sol Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadows

Christine — Sat, 11 May 2019 21:00:00 +0000

Touch in Sol Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadows ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is supposed to be “highly pigmented” and “shine with luxurious glitters,” which can be used with “fingertips or a synthetic brush.” I actually found application with brushes (synthetic or natural) to yield less fallout and a more even application of product than using fingertips. It was almost as if fingertips picked up too much product or product unevenly, which resulted in less-than-ideal application with more fallout than brushes.

The pigmentation varied from shade to shade, but most shades were medium to opaque, buildable, and blendable along the edges without fearing fallout. I had minimal fallout over the eight to nine hours they lasted for. If you have more sensitive eyes, I’d still recommend using these with an adhesive spray or base to ensure maximum adhesion during the day.

Golden Tangerine (3)

Touch in Sol Golden Tangerine (3) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a light-medium copper with strong, warm undertones and a glittering, metallic finish. It had opaque color payoff applied with a fingertip as well as when applied with a dry brush, though I had a bit less fallout when I patted and pressed it into place using a brush compared to my fingertip (which had manageable, but more noticeable, fallout). The consistency was soft and felt more like a loose pigment/pressed eyeshadow hybrid, as it was loosely pressed but had good adhesion and worked more like a pressed eyeshadow in practice. It wore well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

Persian Rose (6)

Touch in Sol Persian Rose (6) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium, rosy plum with strong, warm undertones and a glittering, metallic finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation in a single layer, regardless of whether I applied with a fingertip or a dry brush. The consistency was soft, more loosely pressed, so it was easy to pick up product as the powder came away in small flakes. I found that applying with my fingertip had light to moderate fallout, while using a brush helped to pick up a more even amount of product and seemed to press it onto my skin better as there was less fallout (but still a bit). The color went on evenly and blended without trouble. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

Cream Peach (1)

Touch in Sol Cream Peach (1) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, peachy gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish with gold and pink sparkle. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer applied with a fingertip as well with a dry brush. The eyeshadow felt more like a loosely-pressed pigment than a full-on, pressed eyeshadow, so it was very easy to pick up with a brush and best used with a light hand. I had light fallout when I applied it using my fingertip and slight fallout when I used a dry brush to pat and press it into place. It wore well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

Honey Brown (2)

Touch in Sol Honey Brown (2) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a rich, coppery brown with warm undertones and a glittering, metallic finish. It was incredibly pigmented regardless of whether it was applied with a brush or with a fingertip, though fingertips seemed to help smooth it and blend it out a little more readily than a brush–but then a brush had less fallout during application. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed, and it had some fallout during application and would be best applied prior to base products. Once on , it stayed on well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

Sun Aurora (4)

Touch in Sol Sun Aurora (4) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, medium gold with warm, gold-to-green shifting sparkle and pearl. The texture was smooth, almost emollient, but had a looser press that let the product come away in larger flakes on a fingertip. The pigmentation was opaque in one layer whether applied with a fingertip or a synthetic brush, but I found that there was slightly less fallout when I used a brush to pat and press the product onto my lid. It wore well for eight hours with slight fallout over time but was impressively little given I didn’t use it with a wet brush or an adhesive base.

Holo Mulberry (5)

Touch in Sol Holo Mulberry (5) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium, reddish-plum base with blue-to-teal shifting sparkle. and micro-glitter. It had opaque pigmentation when applied with fingertips but had light fallout during application, whereas a dry brush yielded nearly opaque coverage, though it wasn’t quite as sparkly, with less fallout.

The texture felt more loosely-pressed and like a cream-powder hybrid–some smoothness, some slip, but it was drier and didn’t feel like a true cream-based product to me. The color applied well to bare skin, blended out nicely with very little fallout during application (I get more with a powdery matte eyeshadow!) and stayed on well for eight and a half hours with the very slight fallout over time.

Aurora Taupe (7)

Touch in Sol Aurora Taupe (7) Metallist Sparkling Foiled Eyeshadow ($18.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium-dark taupe with subtle, warm undertones and multi-colored sparkle and micro-glitter paired with a shiny, metallic finish. The flecks of glitter and sparkle were flatter, which gave them a stronger sheen and a shinier finish overall.

Applied with fingertips, it had more medium to semi-opaque color coverage and light fallout during application, whereas a synthetic brush (dry!) yielded almost opaque coverage and a fleck or two of fallout (when patted/pressed into place). While it didn’t have the pigmentation as marketed, I suspect those who like one-and-done glittery shades will still enjoy it.

I was able to gently diffuse and blend out the edges without the product falling off my skin, though some of the sparkles spread out on my lid area (a bit further than intended). It wore well for nine hours without creasing and had slight fallout over time.
