Royal Peach

Kylie Cosmetics Royal Peach Kyshadow Palette ($45.00 for 0.60 oz.) includes twelve eyeshadows in a range of hues (all warm-toned except the blue) and finishes. The palette also has a fluffy brush, which I did not find particularly useful for applying other than diffusing transition shades in or around the crease (just too fluffy for lid color application for my application style).

What you might not know about the Kyshadow formula is that they are supposed to have “medium buildable coverage and a velvety smooth texture.” It’s unusual to see a brand proclaiming anything less than opaque coverage, and most of the eyeshadows were actually quite pigmented. I didn’t realize that until after I had scored the palette based on the eyeshadows needing to be pigmented, so I happen to know that score–83%–but when I re-rated based on the pigmentation claim, it still ended up coming to 83% (as the sheerer shades were boosted and the opaque shades were lowered). I liked the shimmer formula, but I didn’t care for the more sparkly shades (Duchess, North Star), as they had fallout and poorer application. The mattes were easy to use, blendable, and mostly buildable.

Edited to add: A reader asked me if my palette had any chemical scent, and I had not noticed anything prior. I went back to double check, and I couldn’t smell anything out of the ordinary with the palette closed, just opened, or in use. I put my nose right next to each shade, and I went up down the rows sniffing to see if there was anything I could smell, and around Royal (the blue shade), I did notice something, possibly metallic but sharp and definitely not a “powder” or typical “makeup” scent. I also then went and smelled a few other cobalt blue eyeshadows I have, and only one had a faint smell of metal but could not be sure as it was held in a metal palette, too.

Sorbet

Sorbet is a light-medium orange–like a creamy orange–with a matte finish. It had good color payoff with a slightly dusty consistency that blended out well and applied evenly. The eyeshadow was dense enough where it didn’t have fallout during application, even though there was powder kicked up in the pan from my brush. It wore well for seven hours before fading on me.

Seashell

Seashell is a medium, peachy brown with warm, rosy undertones and a golden sheen. The pigmentation was fantastic, while the eyeshadow felt smooth, dense without being stiff or heavy, and was easy to work with on bare skin. On me, the color lasted for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Peachy

Peachy is a bold, medium-dark orange with a hint of red, which mutes the color a bit, paired with a matte finish. The eyeshadow felt dusty in the pan, but it did not result in noticeable fallout when I was applying it to the lid, as the color adhered well to bare skin. It had good color payoff with a soft, blendable consistency. This shade lasted for eight hours on me.

Royal

Royal is a deep cobalt blue with strong, cool undertones and a satiny finish. It was the most dismal of the shades in terms of pigmentation (only medium coverage), though the eyeshadow was buildable, and this is the type of color that I have routinely seen swatch poorly but perform fine in practice. The consistency was slightly drier, and it could have been more blendable overall. It started to fade after seven and a half hours of wear on me.

Duke

Duke is a medium-dark copper with warm, orange undertones and a pearly sheen. The pigmentation was quite good, just a smidgen shy of truly intense, true-to-pan coverage. The texture was soft, not dusty at all but remained blendable on the skin. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me.

Duchess

Duchess is a sparkling bronze with warmer undertones. The consistency was chunkier, due to the larger sparkles in it, and it did not apply as smoothly to bare skin. This would be the type of texture I would recommend using with a damp brush and/or a glitter primer, as more of the sparkle/glitter would translate on the eye that way. When I blended this shade out, a lot of the sparkle came loose and some of the base color appeared ragged. The majority of the eyeshadow lasted for a solid seven and a half hours, but there was noticeable fallout.

Sandy

Sandy is a muted, golden brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff with a smooth, velvety consistency that wasn’t too soft or too firm in the pan. There was enough softness that it was easy to blend out and use as a transition shade, but it didn’t sheer out immediately either, so it could be used all-over the lid, too. The color started to fade after seven and a half hours on me.

Mojito

Mojito is a bright, golden chartreuse green with a metallic finish. It leaned more golden than it did green. It had rich, opaque color coverage, but I had some trouble getting it to apply evenly on bare skin. It seemed like some of the shimmer was loosely bound or packed with the powder, so it did not go on as intensely as I expected. The eyeshadow lasted for seven hours on me before creasing. If I used this shade with a damp brush, application drastically improved.

North Star

North Star was a soft, medium lavender with strong, pink undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation, but the texture was drier and looser, which resulted in the color being quick to sheer out and lots of fallout. The eyeshadow lasted for six and a half hours and had fallout over time as well.

Crush

Crush is a medium coral-red with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to semi-opaque coverage on bare skin (this shade would need a primer for opaque coverage). The consistency was soft, lightly dusty, and prone to sheering out, which is why I struggled to build it beyond semi-opaque coverage. It started to fade after seven hours of wear.

Cinnamon is a medium-dark orange-brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a soft, smooth , and blendable texture that wasn’t too soft or too firm in the pan.
