Lethal Cosmetics Nightflower Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Nightflower
Lethal Cosmetics Nightflower Pressed Powder Palette ($47.00 for 0.68 oz.) included six matte shades and six shimmer shades. The mattes tended to be on the more powdery side with a few shades being surprisingly sheer, so I would recommend using a primer with this palette to make it workable. The shimmers had light fallout as they were sometimes more loosely-pressed but still delivered good pigmentation and applied without much trouble.

Top Dupes
- Guerlain Golden Stars #4 (LE, ) is less shimmery, darker (95% similar).
- Kaleidos Pink Ginger (PiP, ) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (90% similar).
- Charlotte Tilbury Sunlit Glow (P, $34.00) is darker, warmer (90% similar).
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.

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.

Formula Overview

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.

Glad I didn’t pull the trigger on this palette. I had my eye on it but will wait to try another palette from Lethal cosmetics. I really like their shimmery blushes. Not sure about the eye shadow formula.
Definitely a palette I could envision myself buying in terms of colour story without duping out a lot of what I already have. But the results are all over the map and I find this brand way too much work. I’m more comfortable with brands with better consistency even if it doesn’t amount to an A or A- average. That said, I love the shades Circadian, Evenfall, Midnight.. I get the sense their mattes would be problematic for me given their described characteristics.
I was so disappointed by this. I heard nothing but greatness from Youtubers and ordered two palettes and i find them to be dusty with fallout, almost like the have no binders. I find them unusable- mattes and shimmers- without a primer. I am so confused at the hype.
Really thought that this would be one that I would have loved to get, now I’m not so sure. Because the two Oden’s Eye palettes I just ordered the other day have looked way nicer swatched than this. But, between those, plus my Menagerie Flight Club and other purple and teal/blue leaning palettes I already own, I’m probably covered. Just wish that this one had been better.
It’s a shame that the more interesting purple hued mattes were not better quality, as this would have lifted the whole palette to very good status. I think it has a cohesive colour story and with primer, it would be a reasonably easy to use.
Concur! A shame on the mattes. I so like Evenfall, but the palette is too costly for just one shade.
I bought this and thought for sure I would love it. I didn’t and I’ve already decluttered it. This review reconfirms my experience when using it.
I must say I love the colour story. I think I’m just going to dupe it with what I have and maybe add one or two shades. I would have bought this had it rated better, but unevenness and fall out are two things I just dislike way to much to knowingly get a palette with these issues.
Thanks for saving my money for me, Christine!
Drat, I was excited about the color story and especially the matte shades. Back on the muted purple prowl 🙂
MAC Scene isn’t it either. There has to be a muted purple in the indies. Use the color choice feature here. Before Tarte went Tarte, they had some nice muted purples, even greens. I hate it when a company becomes thema con variazione. All their palettes are too similar. If you want your 200th brown e/s, go ahead.
Overall, I’m seriously impressed with the Lethal Cosmetics Nightflower Eyeshadow Palette. It’s versatile, high-quality, and downright gorgeous. If you’re looking to up your eyeshadow game, this is definitely a palette to consider.
Can’t agree hard enough with this review. I got the Evergreen palette as well as this one, boy were they underwhelming! I was honestly shocked. Definitely save your money, Everybody! Much like Christine reported? The mattes are SO sheer, and literally do not build well or mix with each other. There was a chartreuse matte I was looking forward to…several layers later? It’s dusty and barely sticking…to a sticky primer! I’ve tried to work their palettes with a variety of primers to no success. I truly can’t understand how this brand got so hyped. The shimmers are okay, but nothing to get worked up over AT ALL.
Save your money!
I love the color story of this palette, but based on my past experiences with Lethal won’t order anything else from them. Not that the CS was bad or anything, but I didn’t like the formula of the eyeshadow palettes I did order from them. It’s confusing because people seem to really love the formula.
What a shame that the colors I was most interested in didn’t perform well. Thanks for the review!
