JD Glow Firestorm & Magic Multichrome Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches
Firestorm
JD Glow Firestorm Pressed Multichrome ($15.00 for 0.095 oz.) is a white-based multichrome that shifted from bright pink to peachy orange to yellowy gold paired with a metallic sheen. It had a soft, more loosely-pressed texture with moderate glide, which helped it remain denser and less powdery than it could have been.
I felt like it applied best with a fingertip for a smoother, more even application of color. It had mostly opaque coverage, and the shift was noticeable but not as strong as I’ve seen for this type of composition, but it was very blendable and easy to work with. The color lasted well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$15.00/0.095 oz. - $157.89 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" with a "finely-milled" and "velvety" feel that the brand recommends applying with fingertips. The texture ranged from more densely-packed into the pan to more emollient, almost flaky while still having slip to it.
They were intensely pigmented and very high-shine. The eyeshadows were best applied using a fingertip to press and smooth it on, though I found a dampened brush was pretty easy to use as well (for those wanting more precision). The edges were blendable, but it was easier to use a separate matte eyeshadow to really diffuse and blow out the edge. They lasted between eight and nine hours before creasing visibly on me.

Thanks for the swatches! I was curious what these looked like and JD’s site isn’t always the best for displaying that.
Oh, Magic looks like a fun, whimsical shade! It makes me think of a dilute rainbow!
