The Girls

Dose of Colors The Girls Desi x Katy Eyeshadow Palette ($28.00 for 0.24 oz.) contains four sparkling, metallic powder eyeshadows housed in a slim compact with a shimmering fabric exterior. Noli is the only shade that did not say it needed to be applied with a finger for best color payoff; Suz and Harpoon need to be used with a dampened finger. I’m not personally a fan of using my fingertips for application, since I find there’s no precision based on my fingertip to lid size ratio, so I did try using brushes to see how that went in addition to testing with fingertips (and the latter is the only application method reflected in the ratings) for the three shades listed for use with fingers.

They were fairly pigmented and long-wearing, but some shades weren’t quite as blendable as I would have liked, and there was a slight learning curve to get the right amount of dampness to make Suz and Harpoon work smoothly on the lid. I appreciate that the brand noted how each shade should be used, and more importantly, they included that information with the product, though the card is easily lost! The label on the back of the physical palette, though, is backwards (well, compared to how most labels for palettes are printed) as Suz is on the left and Noli is on the right, but when you read the label, it shows Noli on the left and Suz is on the right.

Suz

Suz is a bright, light gold with warm, yellow undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. This was a shade that stated it needed to be used wet, so the swatch reflects dry and wet application so one can see the difference. The texture was looser, and it really did have to be used damp in order to help bind the powder together and get it to apply to the skin. I had hoped it was more usable dry, as it did not blend out effortlessly along the edges (it was more like all or nothing). I had more luck blending other products into it and layering over it than trying to pull and diffuse this shade into other products. It wore well for eight hours without creasing and had minor fallout.

Noli

Noli is a rich, medium-dark bronze with warm, copper undertones and a golden sheen. It was intensely pigmented dry and damp, and it definitely worked beautifully with a brush or fingertips (this was one that did not mention fingertips as a preferred method for application). The texture was really smooth and blendable, and it sat well on the lid. This shade wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Turbosan

Turbosan is a deep plum with warmer, brown undertones and a slightly cooler overtone paired with a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation both dry and damp, but the dampened application was more opaque and deeper overall. This shade was listed as best used with fingertips but did not need to be used damp (though it could). The texture was soft, a little loose in the pan, and I could feel the sparkles in it, but it was still smooth on the lid and blendable. This shade lasted for eight hours on me with minor fallout.

Harpoon

Harpoon is a muted, medium-dark bluish gray base with greenish-gold sparkle and larger glitter. This one was unusable brush (dry or damp), and it was finicky using it with a dampened fingertip–it sometimes applied beautifully opaque and other times was somewhat patchy. It was extremely difficult to diffuse and blend out on the lid, so I would recommend using a damp fingertip, patting it on, and then using other eyeshadows to blend into it or using this on top of another eyeshadow (like on the center of the lid). It wore well for eight hours but had some fallout over time.
