Amethyst

Huda Beauty Amethyst Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a new, limited edition purple-themed palette with mostly pinker/redder plums and purples across a mix of matte and shimmer finishes. It was a mixed bag and is a palette that needs an eyeshadow primer underneath and/or a dampened brush with some of the shimmers.

Amethyst #1

Amethyst #1 is a medium-dark berry with subtle, cool undertones and a pearl finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that adhered fairly well to bare skin but had to be a bit buffed on to get even coverage as it had a more emollient texture that was denser. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

Amethyst #2

Amethyst #2 is a medium plum with warmer undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. The color coverage was good, though not quite opaque, in a single layer. It had a creamy, more emollient texture that had noticeable slip, which made a little harder to apply evenly with a dry brush, though it worked just fine with a dampened brush or fingertips. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

Amethyst #3

Amethyst #3 is a light-medium purple with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had medium color payoff that was buildable to mostly opaque coverage with two to three layers. The texture was thinner, slightly chalky, but it blended out easily and was easy to work with overall–as long as the pigmentation wasn’t a deal breaker. That thinness, though, made it harder to apply over any of the shimmers, which were thicker. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Amethyst #4

Amethyst #4 is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The color coverage was semi-sheer in one layer, as the texture was rather powdery and prone to fallout, but it could be built up to mostly opaque pigmentation if desired. It could have been easier to blend out as well. I would recommend using an eyeshadow primer with this shade It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Amethyst #8

Amethyst #8 is a pale pink with warm undertones and a frosted finish. The consistency was chunkier and more loosely pressed, so there was some fallout if I wasn’t careful to push and press the product onto my skin (no sweeping!), though using it with a dampened brush improved the pigmentation and smoothness in application quite a bit. Dry, it had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours on me.
