Danessa Myricks Amour, Crazy 4 U, Sweetheart Twin Flames Multichromes Reviews & Swatches
Amour
Danessa Myricks Amour Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment ($26.00 for 0.085 oz.) has a translucent base chocked full of multichromatic shimmer that shifted from an almost iridescent, multi-colored effect to greener, icy blue, to cooler pink.
It had finer pearl that gave it a lightly sparkly, metallic finish. The texture was lightly emollient, not as thick or as cream-like as most shades in the range, which made it easier to apply as a sheer wash of shimmer/sparkle if desired. I also liked it for layering over eyeliner or eyeshadow, too, though it wasn’t as pigmented as marketed for sure. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation (to semi-opaque) that lasted well for 10 hours before creasing slightly.

Formula Overview
$26.00/0.085 oz. - $305.88 Per Ounce
They're supposed to have "high pigment" in "one swipe" with "no creasing, no fallout, and no streaks" in a liquid form. The brand says to "apply directly with the applicator," though I greatly disagree with that. I preferred to pick up product with a brush off of the applicator or to swipe the product on the back of my hand, and then pick up product with a brush or fingertips.
The application was very streaky to work with and often over-applied product, and if one applied too much of a shade, it often looked particularly uneven--both in the coverage but also in the physical thickness/texture of the product (it would be more prone to emphasizing lid texture). The lighter shades sometimes were sheerer, while the more black-based shades seemed more intense and were easier to use as a full-on lid color.
In general, the more white-based or translucent-based shades were better as a wash of color or layered over something else. I wouldn't call them "high pigment" in most instances.
The consistency was fluid, lightweight, and somewhat thin with moderate creaminess. There was enough slip that if one over-applied, it could pull into fine lines as it set, so I always made sure to buff and blend the product a bit (especially along my inner lid area) just before it set. This was particularly noticeable when I tried to use it on my lower lash line, and I had better luck applying and sheering it out with a pencil brush for a more even dry down.
It blended out decently along the edges but I'd likely use a powder eyeshadow to blend and soften the edges (either before/after or both from applying this product). They had a quick dry down and set to a lightly tacky, but fairly transfer-resistant finish. It was was a little clingy, but it did not feel heavy on.
They lasted between nine and 10 hours on me before creasing slightly, but I didn't have issues with fallout, flakiness, etc. over time.
As a note, I did detect a more noticeable scent to the product, not added fragrance but from the formula itself, though I didn't notice it during wear.

Crazy 4 U
Danessa Myricks Crazy 4 U Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment ($26.00 for 0.085 oz.) has a translucent base with multichromatic shimmer that shifted from medium pink to greenish-gold to chartreuse paired with a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was moderately emollient with some creaminess, so while it spread readily, it did not go on as evenly as I would have liked.
I found it was easiest to apply product to the back of my hand (or a metal palette) and pick up product using a synthetic brush after swirling it around on the back of my hand. This seemed to help it “dry” a little prior to being applied to my actual lid area, and then I was able to get a more even, blended result. It had more medium to semi-opaque, buildable coverage, but I had to be careful when building it up as it easily got thicker and more prone to emphasizing lid texture.
Once the formula dried down and set, it was fairly budge-proof as it stayed on nicely for 10 hours before creasing slightly.

Sweetheart
Danessa Myricks Sweetheart Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment ($26.00 for 0.085 oz.) has a blackened base with multichromatic pearl that shifted from rich, cooler emerald green to forest green to olive green. It had intense color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin.
The texture was lightweight, creamy, and fluid without being too high in slip, which helped the product go on well but not slide around. It had a longer dry down time, which meant more time to play and blend it out, but I had to make sure to smooth it back out on the finer lines (though not my crease) before it fully set. Once it locked into place, it had great wear and didn’t keep settling over time. It wore well for 10 hours before creasing faintly.

I still am enamored with Crazy 4 U and probably Sweetheart, too! These look so multidimensional and complex, especially Crazy 4 U. I realize that Crazy 4 U will take more effort in the application, but if it can withstand my horrible allergy tears, then it’s 100% worth it.
Oh, Sweetheart is my favorite. What a gorgeous line this is.
Isn’t Sweetheart a gorgeous shade of green? So stunning.
Sweetheart is oh so gorgeous, and Crazy 4 U is so beautiful too! My want list is growing!
I was sooo hoping this one would do well! May be my Natasha Denona Scarab replacement (since I’ve yet to purchase it).
