Metallic Mysteries

Linda Hallberg Cosmetics Metallic Mysteries Eyeshadow Quad ($59.00 for 0.88 oz.) contains a wet/dry formula that are designed to be “highly pigmented” and the finish seems to be what intensifies when used with a damp brush. The pigmentation of two shades was fairly pigmented either way, but two shades were less pigmented when used dry. Otherwise, the textures were great–smooth, blendable, dense without being too firmly pressed–and easy to use with good, eight-hour wear across the board.

Dead Star

Dead Star is a medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good pigmentation both dry and wet, though the dampened application yielded a slightly deeper, richer color and a stronger sheen. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too soft or too firm in the pan. It wore well for eight hours when applied dry and eight and a half hours when applied wet.

Gamma

Gamma is a bright, medium-dark copper with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented both dry and wet, though the dampened application appeared deeper and more metallic. The texture was smooth to the touch without being too dry or too firmly pressed in the pan, which made it easy to work with even over bare lids. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours dry and nine hours applied wet.

Collision

Collison is medium gold with warm undertones and flecks of larger sparkle and a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff applied dry and was best patted on with a flat, synthetic brush to maximize adherence to bare skin as it was a bit thicker compared to other shades. Applied wet, the eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation that applied beautifully to the skin. It wore well for seven and a half hours with some fallout dry and nine hours with very minimal fallout wet.
