Hustle Hard

Hustle Hard is a bright, light-medium golden pewter with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish that looked almost wet it was so shiny. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient without being too thin or prone to sheering out, so it maintained its opacity when applied to bare skin and had good adhesion despite feeling a touch drier in the pan. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.

The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Play Hard

Play Hard is a very bright and light peach with a high-shine, metallic finish. The consistency was smooth to the touch, almost springy, but it was dense without being overly thick and had a touch of dustiness, so it did seem to apply better with a fingertip or dampened brush to avoid fallout. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly and stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Ambition

Ambition is a muted, light-medium taupe with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color coverage paired with a smooth, velvety texture that was almost cream-like as it adhered well to even very dry skin (like my arm). It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.
