Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette

Topaz

Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.35 oz.) is more of a mixed bag than I’d expect these types of shades to be, since we have certainly seen numerous orange/copper/red-themed shades over the last few years. The matte formula was noticeably drier, though actual application showed them to be rather pigmented and easy to use, so while they felt one way, it only seemed to inhibit the wear a bit. The shimmer formula seems denser and creamier to the touch, but then is harder to apply with dry brushes like a traditional eyeshadow due to the additional slip.

Topaz #2

Topaz #2 is a medium copper with warm, orange undertones and a sparkling finish. It had medium coverage, which was hard to build up without using a fingertip or a dampened brush to apply it to the lid as the texture was denser and thicker. I had trouble blending and spreading it around, too, due to that thicker, denser consistecy. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me but had fallout over time.

Topaz #3

Topaz #3 is a slightly muted, medium orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. While the texture was drier and felt almost chalky to me (a combination of dustiness and thinness), it had excellent pigmentation and blended out easily on my skin. It didn’t seem to look dry or dusty on my skin either. The eyeshadow lasted well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Topaz #9

Topaz #9 is a medium brown with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff paired with a lightly creamy, denser texture that had more slip, which I find often makes the base pigment harder to apply evenly (but can help more of the sparkle adhere without falling off the lid during application and that was true here). It applied best with a firm, pressing motion onto my lid or else using a dampened brush, which helped it apply more smoothly and evenly from the get-go. This shade wore well for eight hours with very little fallout.
