Lethal Cosmetics Memento Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Memento
Lethal Cosmetics Memento 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($27.00 for 0.34 oz.) includes six new eyeshadows, which are part of the brand’s single range, so each can be purchased individually ($6 to $7 each) or as a pre-made palette (as shown here). Two shimmers were fantastic, while the mattes were a little sheer or powdery, and one shimmer was better applied with a fingertip.

Inhabit
Inhabit is a pale, buttery yellow with subtle, warm undertones and warmer, iridescent pink shimmer and sparkle. The texture was moderately emollient, while the shimmer seemed to be chunkier, which resulted in a slightly uneven, thicker product when applied to my skin. I had a smoother, more even result when I applied this shade using a fingertip or a dampened brush. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that lasted well for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview
$6.50/0.06 oz. - $108.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "extreme pigmentation" and "effortless blendability" ... "that [will] last all day." There are two primary finishes: mattes and metallics, and the latter can also be used wet.
The matte finish has semi-opaque to opaque color coverage with moderate powderiness; it's a formula that is best used with a lighter hand. There was light fallout with some shades, though not at all, and they were blendable for the most part. Even with a light hand, there was still a bit of powderiness present--the brand did warn about using less with their formula--in the pan.
There were a few darker shades that had a tendency to sheer out when applied or did not apply as evenly, especially when layered over a lighter shade but most of the mid-tone and lighter shades were easy to apply and blend out. As a result, I found myself having better results by going dark to light rather than light to dark (which is more in line with how I typically work).
The metallic finish ranged from creamier, denser, and a bit thicker to softer, dense but still a little powdery (usually the lighter, more white-based shades). They were mostly opaque to fully opaque in a single layer, so they didn't need to be applied with a wet brush to achieve coverage or adhesion. I found that some of the more powdery, shimmery shades were more flattering on the lid when used with a fingertip or a dampened brush, though.
The matte eyeshadows tended to wear around eight hours on me before fading, while the shimmer shades lasted eight to eight and a half hours on me.

Kindred
Kindred is a medium pink with warm undertones and lighter, warm gold shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, almost cream-like texture that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well without being too emollient. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Ethos
Ethos is a vivid, deeper pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable with a little powderiness that was more present in the pan than on the skin. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours and left a faint stain behind after removal.

The eyeshadow had a slightly thinner consistency that was more firmly-pressed in the pan, which made it less powdery than the average matte shade by the brand. It had nearly opaque color coverage that was buildable with less than a second layer. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Acolyte
Acolyte is a medium-dark peach with strong, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. The texture was incredibly smooth, almost cream-like, but not overly dense or too firmly-pressed into the pan, which made it easy to pick up, yield opaque coverage, and ensured it was blendable on my skin. It wore nicely for nine hours before fading a bit.

Hi! I was just wondering – – did you stop posting eye looks with each palette? Those were always my favorite part, something to try with the palettes I already had.
I do like the color composition of this one the most. However, having that ColourPop Strawberry palette plus Huda New Nude and other similar shades, I may not actually need this. Tempting, though!
Very pretty pink shades here and Acolyte was the standout one. Gorgeous colour.
Love this brand! Highly pigmented. Slight blowback, but worth it. Well matched colors. All in all a great palette as usual!
