High Seas

Glaminatrix High Seas Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark blue with cooler undertones and a slightly “warmer” blue sheen. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even laydown of product. The consistency was moderately dense, lightly creamy, and easy to work with. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Imp

Glaminatrix Imp Duochrome Topper ($8.77 for 0.06 oz.) has a translucent base that seemed green-tinted with sparkle that shifted violet to blue. The texture was lightly emollient, more loosely-pressed in the pan, but it didn’t seem overly fragile when I worked with it. I was able to pick up product dry and have even coverage with very minimal fallout, but a dampened brush or a fingertip worked the best. It had mostly opaque coverage despite the translucent base. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

Mojito

Glaminatrix Mojito Foiled Eyeshadow ($8.04 for 0.06 oz.) is a very light, almost silvery bluish-aqua with cool undertones and a high-shine, metallic finish. The texture was lightly creamy, soft, and more loosely-pressed, so while it had good adhesion to bare skin, I had to ensure to press/pat it into place to avoid light fallout. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that lasted well for eighthalf hours before showing signs of fading.

Fairy Garden

Glaminatrix Fairy Garden Duochrome Topper ($8.77 for 0.06 oz.) has a translucent base with minty green to cooler lavender shifting sparkle. The coverage came primarily from the sparkle/shimmer, which delivered more medium, buildable pigmentation overall–this seemed slightly less pigmented than the brand’s swatch showed as well as when compared to other shades within the finish.

The texture was lightly emollient, which helped to minimize fallout opportunities, though there was light fallout when I applied it using a dry brush. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Bunny

Glaminatrix Bunny Duochrome Eyeshadow ($8.77 for 0.06 oz.) has a pale, sky blue base with intense, contrasting gold shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It had almost opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was paired with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that was more loosely-pressed but not overly prone to fallout. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading visibly.

Formula Overview

$8.77 -

The brand doesn't have any real specific claims on their eyeshadows, but the swatches they showcase show their line of eyeshadows to be pigmented. The exception would be shades classified as "Duochrome Toppers," which have a translucent base, though they are packed with shimmer and tend to show up more opaque as a result (both my in experience as well as in their swatches).

The brand has three primary finishes: matte, foiled, and duochrome topper. The matte eyeshadows, which sometimes are classified as matte pressed pigments, are very pigmented, silky-smooth, and blendable, but they are incredibly powdery in the pan. I was surprised that I didn't get much fallout during application, but there was a lot of excess powder kicked up in nearly every matte shade I tested out even when I tried to use a light touch. I found that the ultra finely-milled formula tended to adhere well to bare skin and was more forgiving of dryness than the average matte eyeshadow.

The foiled eyeshadows are high-shine with soft, more loosely-pressed textures (on the whole) that picked up readily with a dry brush, had good adhesion, and had minimal to light fallout, depending on the shade. The shades were higher shimmer seemed more loosely-pressed, while the shades that yielded more of a metallic sheen/pearly sheen were more firmly-pressed (in comparison).

The duochrome toppers are similar to the foiled eyeshadows, but they had higher sparkle/shimmer in them with a translucent base, so the more it was sheered out, the more translucent it appeared. If one picked up and patted it onto the lid, the effect was fairly pigmented. I had a little bit of fallout during application using this finish dry, so I'd recommend using them with a fingertip or a dampened brush for application.

Overall, the formulas are impressive across the board with only a few shades that were under-performing--and they typically were shades that tend to be harder to get perfect (e.g. matte purple). I enjoyed working with the eyeshadows and putting together looks, as they were easy to work with, delivered on pigmentation and blendability, and wore between eight and nine hours on bare skin.

All DDG…drop dead gorgeous. Mojito would be totally perfect w/the Fenty Minted Mojito HL. As Brenda said, tough to tear your eyes away from these beauties. They’re so complex. Wow.
