LORAC Pirates of the Caribbean Eyeshadow Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Pirates of the Caribbean
LORAC Pirates of the Caribbean Eyeshadow Palette ($52.00 for 0.36 oz.) includes 18 eyeshadows with a mix of shimmers and mattes. The formula did feel a lot like their PRO formula (which it is supposed to be), though some shades seemed thinner and just as dusty/powdery as the original PRO formula can be, so I still had trouble applying the shades without a primer underneath. An eyeshadow primer helped but some shades still fell short even over primer (they would still sheer out and look more faded on than they did in their pans).

Ghostly
Ghostly is a very pale white with cool undertones and a soft, pearly shimmer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, and the texture was incredibly soft, but it was also dusty and prone to sheering out, so it only worked decently over a primer. My lids “ate” it without primer where the powder just seemed to disappear quickly (within four hours).

Yo-Ho
Yo-Ho is a light-medium beige with neutral-to-warm undertones and a pearly shimmer. It had a very smooth, finely-milled texture, but it was also thinner and quite dusty to work with, so the color sheered out as soon as I started to blend it out on the skin. This shade lasted for six hours on me.

Tell No Tales
Tell No Tales is a dark, purple taupe with a matte finish. It had semi-sheer coverage that was buildable to medium coverage, only over primer. The consistency was soft, thin, and powdery, which made it difficult to use on bare skin as it tended to apply unevenly and did not want to blend out. I tried it over primer, and it was more manageable, but it would never be an eyeshadow I’d use happily as it still required more effort and caused more mess than it should have. It lasted for five hours on me.

Lost at Sea
Lost at Sea is a light, bluish gray with a satin finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, but the texture was just so thin and dusty that it was impossible to maintain that coverage–it always looked sheer, even over primer. This shade faded within five hours on me.

Pirates Chest
Pirates Chest is a medium, peachy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly without sheering out too quickly. The consistency was soft, smooth, and slightly powdery. It wore well for six and a half hours on me.

Sea Haze
Sea Haze is a medium, meadow green with warm undertones and a golden sheen. The color payoff was mostly opaque, though not buildable without a primer underneath it. The texture was soft, smooth, and not quite as thin as other shades, which made it easier to work with. It started to fade on me after six and a half hours of wear.

Menace
Menace is a deep, grayish black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation–nearly opaque–that blended out more easily than I expected, which was a happy surprise. The texture was soft, silky, but firm enough that there wasn’t a ton of excess product kicked up in the pan when I used it. This shade wore well for seven hours on me.

Silent Mary
Silent Mary is a light-medium, grayish taupe with cool undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow was incredibly soft but rather dusty in the pan, which made it prone to sheering out on the lid. Even when I attempted to use it over primer, it was hard to get full coverage and there was still some fallout. The color lasted for six and a half hours on me.

Wow. My palette’s great. No issues whatsoever. All of the shades are pigmented, blendable, and buildable. Can wear with or without primer. My swatches even look very different from yours. Sounds like another QC issue. That’s too bad.
Glad yours is great!
Mine too. I was amazed by the quality of the tester at Ulta, so I got one with my 20% coupon last week. I rarely wear blues but Starry Night is fantastic, even with my brown eyes. The grays/silvers are all great too.
Yay! Glad yours is great too. Always worry when a brand is inconsistent and the palette isn’t cheap. My only “meh” is the lip duo. It’s ok, just not great.
Was waiting for your review for this!!! I think it’s a pass despite the Pirate theme, I don’t like how many white & grey shades there are and it seems like colorful ones didn’t grade well!
Happy I could help, Christy!
I’m kind of over these theme/movie palettes but it looks very nice.
It had some nice shades!
Arrrgh (both the name itself and the colour) are lovely and the name made me laugh! Lorac isn’t available in Canada any more and for my own reasons, I am not travelling to the US, otherwise, I might consider getting this just for that one shade (crazy, I know). The packaging, though – why so thick and bulky? It reminds me of the Tarina Tarantino Emerald Pretty palette of years back – just WAAAY thicker than it needed to be.
The blush palette from the collection fits inside the bottom 🙂
Okay, that explains it. I wondered when you first previewed this collection, if it included the blushes (I think I actually misunderstood on first reading, and thought it all came together for that excellent price).
Christine, I asked you a few days ago about changes to the “replies” function. Now, it seems to be back the way it was before, which was what I was accustomed to (only getting replies to my posts rather than emails about all the replies within the thread, a feature which actually sometimes worked and other times didn’t, no matter how much I clicked the little box to receive emailed replies). Just wanted to let you know that whatever it was that was “broken” now seems to be working, at least for me.
We switched to the old plugin, which is mysteriously working (where it was broken), but it’s tentative since I’m not sure why it’s miraculously fixed without any actual fixes or updates to it.
Just my dumb “luck” that I’d have a mind numbing migraine the day this review came about! And now I want to cry. Tears of sorrow over Jack Sparrow done wrong by Lorac? Tears of joy that I definitely have dupes for most of these shades? Or tears because half my brain is on fire, and I’ve a need for a proper pirate eye patch to decisively peruse the shades? Idk? ?☠?
I hope your migraine has gone away by now, Nancy <3
Thanks, Christine! A little bit better since taking something for it earlier! Still have that weird aura, but less pain.
I like the colors on this but those few low grade shades make it a no buy for me.
It’s definitely one fo those palettes I’d try in-store before buying!
Wow, this is a pretty cool-toned palette for Lorac! Wish the formula was better on this one, like some of the more unique colors, and the pirates theme is cute
It was! I was digging some of the cooler colors in it, in theory!
I’m afraid there aren’t enough winners to justify this palette for me.
Money saved this time!
Easy miss for me, some of the colours are nice but it’s a little disappointing that it didn’t perform as well as it could esp from a pro brand. I do like the eye look you did though.
I wish it was better/more consistent!
Very disappointing, because I love the colors and the packaging. I’m not a huge fan of the Lorac Pro formula, anyway. Money saved toward UD Basquiat collection.
I hope you can get your Basquiat goodies!
Love your eye look! Very reminiscent of a mermaid. 🙂
Thanks a lot, Carolann!
I can’t help but feel like this palette is a missed opportunity to do something really fun. It’s quite dull, when something inspired by the Pirates franchise should have been flamboyant!
I felt like some of the colors made sense but still ended up a little more faded/duller than I’d personally envision!
Agreed… I think UD would have done a much better job on this!
This seems more like a Too Faced palette with all the low ratings instead of a Lorac one. The colours seems to be all over the place, cool toned though it may be, it hasn’t wowed me at all.
I don’t have too much thought on this palette but I’m pretty tired and somehow processed one of the shades as “it wore well for six months on me” and thought you’d appreciate the humor in that!
I love Lorac but too many misses for me. I don’t let myself buy any more larger palettes unIess my favorites rate well. I’ve become too picky because of your ratings but it saves me so much disappointment 🙂
Why add mineral oil to the formula for this? It is even in the blushes!
Hi Christine! Or do you prefer Temptalia? You have literally saved me hundreds of dollars since I stumbled onto your page a year or so ago and I really want to thank you for that!
Our opinions aren’t always in sync with each other but that’s a good thing because it shows that your opinion is an honest one. You don’t go with the flow like so many vloggers do. You aren’t afraid to let your subscribers know when you don’t like a product. I’ve seen you give a brand a glowing review for one product and a negative review for another product. (Sometimes from the same collection!) This shows me that you aren’t and cannot be bought. So again.. Thanks for being one of the few bloggers (including the beauty guru vloggers) that I can trust. As for this palette we have differing opinions but that is okay. I really love this palette and I’m not easy to please. I have one question though.. I can’t find a review for the last shade in the top row (#7 Yo Ho) Did you forget to put it in? What are your thoughts on it?
Hi Courtney!
Thank you so much! I’ve updated the palette – the review is there but I didn’t type the number of it right so it did not display!
