Huda Beauty Python Wild Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Python
Huda Beauty Python Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette ($29.00 for 0.45 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that includes five matte eyeshadows and four shimmer shades in a more colorful composition. The quality was solid across the board with soft, fairly pigmented and blendable mattes and shimmers that worked well with a dry brush (as well as a dampened brush or fingertip); the latter hasn’t always been the case with Huda Beauty’s shimmer formula, which has often been too thick/dense.
The shimmer formula will still be more ideal for someone who tends to use their brushes damp or likes applying shimmers with a fingertip OR doesn’t mind some packing and light fallout when working with a dry brush. The matte eyeshadows were on the more powdery side, but they were buildable, blendable, and easy enough to work with.

Python #1
Python #1 is a deep blue with a more transparent base chocked full of bluish-teal and blue shimmer and micro-sparkle. It had semi-opaque color coverage applied with a dry brush and could be improved with a dampened brush or a fingertip for application. The texture was lightly emollient, which helped to minimize fallout during application, but it did seem to apply more smoothly when really pressed and pushed onto the skin. It was slightly thicker didn’t meld as well as the mattes (which were thinner). It stayed on well for eight hours with light fallout over time.

Python #2
Python #2 is a bright, light lime green with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling finish. It had opaque color payoff paired with a smooth, moderately dense texture that was lightly emollient but not too heavy or too firmly-pressed into the pan, so it still picked up well with a dry brush and had good adhesion without having to use fingertips. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Python #3 is a mid-depth gold with warmer, more orange undertones and green-gold duochrome shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented and applied evenly to bare skin with good adhesion on its own thanks to the smooth, lightly creamy consistency. It lasted nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Python #4
Python #4 is a muted, medium green with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, somewhat buildable color payoff paired with a soft, lightly powdery consistency that was slightly thinner than I’ve found seems to be ideal (for balancing blending, opacity, and adhesion). I would recommend using the formula with a primer, which helped the powder stay truer to color and grip on better. It stayed on decently for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Python #5 has a deep, purplish-gray base with flecks of green and teal pearl and micro-sparkle throughout.

The texture was lightly emollient, slightly more firmly-pressed into the pan, but it was workable with a dry brush. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Python #6
Python #6 is a deep brown with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff, but it seemed prone to sheering out and definitely got lost a bit when I tried to blend it with the darker green (#4) as it turned almost grayish. It was truer to color and performed better when paired with the warmer tones (like #8 and #9) in the palette. The consistency was soft, blendable, and somewhat powdery in the pan. This shade showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

Wow. That’s a stunning look.
The eye look you created is 😍😍😍
Another really good palette in the series of bright and bold shades – Huda is doing these well, much better than the Brown Obsessions range, which I recall was very disappointing.
Hmm. For some reason, I thought I could get something similar using On The Horizon with a few other shades pulled in from UD Electric palette, but now I’m not so sure. Might have to buy this little beauty, or so I’m thinking.
Beauty shades !
I am really desperate for a really good green palette, Colour Pop isn’t available in the UK. This is a possibility, but I wish blue wasn’t always included.
