Danessa Myricks Passion & Young Love Twin Flames Pigments Reviews & Swatches
Passion
Danessa Myricks Passion Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment ($26.00 for 0.085 oz.) had a transparent base with lots of pearl and fine sparkle that had a multichromatic shift that went between medium, warmer pink, peach, chartreuse, and minty green. It was shiny, sparkling, and metallic, and it did tend to look better in person with the light reflecting (“in motion”) than in a still photo.
The texture was lightweight, very fluid, and spreadable, so it took the nearly opaque coverage in one layer to more semi-opaque coverage that was fairly even, but it had to be buffed out with a fingertip or a fluffy brush to avoid looking streaky. It dried down quickly and stayed on well for 10 hours without fading, flaking, or creasing on me.

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.

Young Love
Danessa Myricks Young Love Twin Flames Multichrome Pigment ($26.00 for 0.085 oz.) had a transparent base chocked full of multichromatic pearl and fine sparkle that shifted between cooler lavender, warmer lavender, pink, and peach. It had a sparkling, metallic finish with a fair amount of shine.
It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer, which applied fairly evenly, but it had to be applied with a fingertip or a separate brush to really even and smooth out the product as the included applicator tended to push product around and left faint streaks behind. Because it was so sparkly, some of the unevenness that was more visible in the close-up photos really wasn’t noticeable in person.
The texture was more fluid, lightweight, and spreadable with a quick dry down that lasted for over 10 hours without fading, flaking, or creasing.

Passion may well be the best one regarding opacity and eveness of application out them all. I like it a lot!
Lovely shades and beautiful pigmentation on these eye pigments. I really like Young Love the best.
