Pat McGrath Supernova Siren Cheek Trio Review & Swatches

Supernova Siren

Pat McGrath Supernova Siren Divine Blush, Bronze, and Glow Trio ($52.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that leaned a bit more on the darker spectrum (compared to the other two released) in depth. The quality was decent across the board, though I found the bronzer and blush to be on the powdery side and not my favorite texture applied to bare skin (relative to other offerings).

Formula Overview

$39.00/0.33 oz. - $118.18 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "buildable" with "demi-matte and pearl finishes" that "blurs" and "perfects" when applied. Only one shade had any real pearl/shimmer (Desert Glow), while the others were more of a soft or more "natural" matte that didn't look flat on the skin.

The pigmentation was medium to semi-opaque and buildable, while the texture was lightweight, slightly thin, but velvety and smooth, which made it easy to apply more or less to achieve the desired coverage level in practice. The powders blended out readily on bare skin as well as on top of foundations, and they did sit smoothly/evenly without emphasizing skin texture.

The formula lasted eight and a half to nine hours on me with more mid-tone and deeper shades lasting longer than the lightest ones.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.34 oz. - $111.76 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "featherlight, long-wearing" that "build effortlessly from sheer to subversive." The blushes are available in two finishes--demi-matte and satin pearl--and range from more muted to more vivid in color. The biggest "downfall" of the formula was that it was rather pigmented than buildable, so one could use a lighter hand to get more buildable coverage, but I found I had to use a light to moderate hand to ensure I didn't over-apply each shade.

The consistency was smooth, silky, and lightly creamy to the touch; it was a touch powdery in the pan but had more slip than most powder blushes on the market, but it was definitely a powder-based formula. The product applied well to bare skin as well as over foundation, as it diffused well along the edges without picking up base products.

The satin pearl finish was luminous but not overtly shimmery, so it did not emphasize my skin's natural texture. They wore around nine hours on me before fading visibly.

Pat McGrath Fleurever Nude Cheek Trio Review & Swatches

Fleurever Nude

Pat McGrath Fleurever Nude Divine Blush, Bronze, and Glow Trio ($52.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that leaned a bit lighter (compared to the other two released) in depth. I wasn’t thrilled with the highlighter texture; despite being more finely-milled, it looked drier applied to my skin due to the general dustiness/dryness of the formula. The bronzer was comparable to the permanent range, though it did feel thinner to me.

Chanel Duo Lumiere Highlighter Review & Swatches

Christine — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 16:30:00 +0000

Duo Lumiere

Chanel Duo Lumiere Illuminating Powder Duo ($70.00 for 0.26 oz.) includes a peachy champagne and a lighter, champagne gold that combine to create a soft, golden peach with flecks of gold sparkle throughout. It had more of a translucent base, so it will definitely take on the depth and tone of one’s natural coloring more than some highlighters. It did have a more “glittery” finish, which I know some love and others steer clear of.
