Fyrinnae Pressed Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 1)
Alpaca
Fyrinnae Alpaca Pressed Eyeshadow ($7.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium bronze with subtle, warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth consistency that wasn’t too firmly nor too loosely pressed in the pan, so I didn’t have any issues with fallout but it was still easy to pick up with a dry brush and blend out on my lid. I didn’t feel like it really needed or benefited from Pixie Epoxy as far as application went. It stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Deinonychus
Fyrinnae Deionychus Pressed Eyeshadow ($7.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, medium grass green with warmer, olive undertones and slightly cooler green shimmer. It had good color coverage applied dry, though the texture was a little drier and felt more loosely-pressed, so it did not go on as evenly applied dry. It did smooth out and have richer coverage when applied over Pixie Epoxy or when applied with a wet brush. I had light fallout during application, but I was able to build up the coverage (dry) and blending was a cinch. It wore well for eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Elf Owl
Fyrinnae Elf Owl Pressed Eyeshadow ($7.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium olive green with warm undertones and a sparkling, more glittery finish. It had good pigmentation applied dry over bare skin as well as over Pixie Epoxy, and as expected, Pixie Epoxy helped it apply more evenly and smoothly with less effort. When applied dry, I had to be careful to rpess and pat it onto my lid to avoid fallout and ensure a smoother application as the texture seemed to be a little drier to the touch. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me but had light fallout over time.

Feline Pretty Femme
Fyrinnae Feline Pretty Femme Pressed Eyeshadow ($7.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, deeper pink-red with cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture with a moderately-dense feel to it. The eyeshadow applied evenly to my lid and blended out effortlessly along the edge without losing its coverage or brightness. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

Illusionary
Fyrinnae Illusionary Arcane Magic Pressed Eyeshadow ($8.50 for 0.07 oz.) is a dirty lavender with a cooler, grayish base and a mix of lavender, green, and pink shimmer throughout. I didn’t get as much noticeable shift as I did shimmer/light sparkle that looked greener and pinker depending on the angle. It’s actually described as being on a “semi-sheer dove gray” base, which was accurate–it was semi-sheer and had to be built up over a tacky primer to get to more opaque coverage.
The texture felt more loosely pressed, which gave it a bit of fallout during application. It applied fairly evenly and blended out without too much effort, but the more frosted finish coupled with the sheerer coverage looked better in person than photos–in photos, it looked a bit uneven. The color stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Luxury
Fyrinnae Luxury Pressed Eyeshadow ($7.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark gold with moderate, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, almost cream-like texture that was easy to apply, blend out, and work with. A little went a long way, and the finish was so reflective that it appeared seamless and more “melted” against my skin as a result. It lasted beautifully for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed any fading.

OMG, these are all stunning. I haven’t ordered from Fyrrinae in a long time. I need to try some of these pressed shadows, for sure!
I was so impressed by Feline Pretty Femme + Luxury!
Feline Pretty Femme is spectacular. Luxury is downright molten gold.
I don’t see even one ‘loser’ in the bunch! These are all simply stunning and gorgeous. Gotta have Elf Owl, Feline Pretty Femme, Deinonychus and Illusionary.
Alpaca, too! Yep, just a bronzey brown, but I have nothing else like it…. perhaps I ought to wait on UD Naked Honey swatches for that shade, I’m thinking. ?
Alpaca is a nice addition to neutral ranges – I like that it has a smoky, slightly muted vibe to it and is a smoother finish (more shine than shimmer) – I think those things keep it from being too dupable.
Alpaca is one of the prettier browns I’ve seen in a while.
That Luxury colour though!!! I looove it!
It’s so intense!
These are just gorgeous!! I really don’t need any more eyeshadows, but wow, these are beautiful.
Luxury is luscious, I want it! ?
