Formula Overview
$16.50/0.056 oz. - $294.64 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "amazing pigmentation and easy blendability" that won't crease or fade. The pigmentation varied from shade to shade as some were intentionally designed with translucent bases, so those were often sheerer initially and tended to use larger, more sparkly particles.
In general, the multichrome shifts were weaker and less apparent as many shades were pearl-like in their sheen, rather than ultra-shiny or intensely metallic as is more typical of multichrome eyeshadow releases. I think those who prefer a subtler sheen and aren't locked in to having the most magical of multichrome shifting formulas will find this a nice option. On the flip side, anyone who already has multichrome eyeshadows from other brands and prefers intensity will likely find these to miss the mark.
Most shades had semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation with fairly blendable formulas that weren't too powdery or too firmly-pressed into their pans, though they were sometimes a little too emollient or too thin. They wore around eight hours on average.

These “gentler” multichromes are perfect for us older folks who are still able to rock a multichrome as long as it’s as generally speaking, less wild in its shifts.
That said, my picks are Mycelium, Flutter and Mantis. All shades that would work out beautifully for me, and not look like I’m trying too hard!
(Disclaimer: I WILL continue to wear my more wildly shifty multichromes anywho! Just love these above for “quieter moments”)
Wow- these are all stunningly beautiful shades – I actually like all of them and the duochrome aspect is not overwhelming either.
