Clionadh Ultra Metal Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 1 of 2)
Firewood
Clionadh Firewood Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a rich, darker olive green with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which had excellent adhesion to bare skin and diffused well along the edges.
The texture was moderately dense, creamy, and smooth without being too firmly-pressed into the pan. It lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Poinsettia
Clionadh Poinsettia Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep, slightly muted, rusty red with warm undertones and a smooth, metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff paired with a moderately-dense, smoother texture that was a bit more firmly-pressed into the pan compared to other shades in the formula.
I had to use a slightly heavier hand to pick up product, but it had good adhesion and wasn’t prone to fallout or appearing thickened on my skin. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Chocolate Orange
Clionadh Chocolate Orange Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep, golden bronze with strong, warm undertones and a subtle, metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was moderately dense but not too thick, so I didn’t have any issues using it with a dry brush. This shade stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Spruce
Clionadh Spruce Ultra Metal Eyeshadow ($5.50 for 0.06 oz.) is a darker, bluish-aqua with cool undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a denser, lightly creamy texture that was slightly thicker than other shades, though I didn’t have issues with getting it to apply evenly to bare skin nor did it emphasize my skin texture. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing faintly.

Oh man, I think I want them ALL! These are so rich, smooth and beautifully toned shades. The only one I might leave alone is Spruce because it’s very close to my actual eye color, although my irises are actually darker on the outer ring, and have some noticeable golden green closer to the pupils. It could still work possibly? But Firewood, Karat, Chocolate Orange and Poinsettia have my heart!
Firewood tho….. These are all stunning!
I absolutely love every single one of these shades, especially the first four. They are my kind of shades and I think they are stunningly beautiful.
