Emerald

Huda Beauty Emerald Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.35 oz.) has a mix of warmer and cooler-toned greens across three matte shades and six shimmers. With the undertones in the palette, the bottom row doesn’t quite jive with the top six shades as cohesively as it could, and I think they could have put in a deeper, matte green for greater contrast (what I felt I was missing when I was trying to use the palette) instead of shade #9 at the very least. The texture of the shimmery shades is denser and thicker, more silicone-heavy, whereas the mattes were thin and drier (not as velvety as past mattes in their Obsessions palettes), so it’s key to apply the mattes earlier on as they don’t layer as well on top of the shimmery shades.

Emerald #1

Emerald #1 is a bright, chartreuse green with strong, warm undertones paired with a glittery, metallic finish. It had good pigmentation with a denser, creamier texture that was best applied with a stiff, synthetic brush pressed and pushed onto the lid or a dampened brush for a really intense, brightening effect. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Emerald #2

Emerald #2 is a mint green with very subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The color coverage was semi-opaque and buildable, but the consistency was on the chalky side–a bit dry and dusty and prone to sheering out without a base underneath it. The color stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Emerald #3

Emerald #3 is a medium green with warmer undertones and a metallic finish. It had rich color payoff in a single layer with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was a bit dense and thicker than the typical powder eyeshadow–more emollient as a result, too–and worked best with a flat, synthetic brush and pressed and pushed onto the lid (no sweeping to deposit!). The eyeshadow lasted well for eight and a half hours on me.

Emerald #4

Emerald #4 is a deep, forest green with subtle, warm brown undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was denser, which did make it a bit harder to diffuse and blend out on my skin, especially against the matte shades in the palette, which were thinner. It was creamier by touch, so if I worked with it using a fingertip or a dampened brush, it was easier to apply and smooth out. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Emerald #5

Emerald #5 is a medium teal with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. It had good color coverage, though not opaque, that could be built up to full coverage with a second layer. It had a creamier consistency, which made the base seem less pigmented and the product seem more heavily shimmered. It applied best in pressing motions for greater, more even coverage. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me.
