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.

Redshift and Spectrum look delightful and have very distinct shifts to them both! They are ones that I could see using with just a few mattes to get a faux socket with.
Supernova is quite a bit softer, but still beautiful used in a purple eye look, I would imagine.
Oh, these are lovely! I love that more companies are making multichromes.
Gosh these are all really beautiful. The shifts are so striking. I wonder how they perform on older eye lids? I am wondering whether anyone here on the blog has experience with them on older lids?
I’m 50 with some fairly new folds and a bit of texture and love these. I only have one of if the new shades (magnitude) and three of the older ones so far, but they’re really shifty, don’t emphasize texture, and have stayed all day with a primer (Mac 24/7). I really like multichromes and live in Europe, and these are the first easily available ones that I find to be comparable to some of the North American indies. Especially Magnitude. I had a salesperson ask if it was Pat McGrath, and he was really surprised when I said it was Lethal. (It’s similar to the one in divine rose 2, but I find it to be shiftier and a bit brighter.)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have a cart started at Lethal because I want two of the blushes so will add a few of these to my cart and try them out.
These are gorgeous – especially Redshift. I like the colour combinations on this one.
