Marc Jacobs Beauty Omega Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 2)
Perfect-O
Marc Jacobs Beauty Perfect-O Omega Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a bright, yellow-leaning beige with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color coverage but was somewhat powdery in the pan, which led to slight fallout during application, though it had good adhesion to bare skin and was more pigmented than other similar-colored shades with this type of texture. It did seem to look more white-based when I applied it to my brow bone and didn’t play as well as with other shades due to that stronger white base coming through. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading.

Formula Overview
$29.00/0.13 oz. - $223.08 Per Ounce
The formula promises "12 hours" of wear with "high-impact, crease-resistant color." The matte shades were very smooth and finely-milled that they felt almost cream-like, though they were definitely a powder. They were pigmented and most shades blended out easily over bare skin with eight to nine hour wear. The shimmery shades were creamier, a bit more silicone-like by touch, but they weren't too dense or too thick, so they didn't emphasize my lid texture and still applied well with brushes. They lasted between eight and nine hours on me and were typically quite pigmented.

Prim-O
Marc Jacobs Beauty Prim-O Omega Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a light-medium peachy-beige with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense and almost cream-like, but I didn’t struggle to pick up product with my brush nor did I have issues getting it to apply evenly to my lid. (I also tried this shade as a cheek highlighter here.) It was extremely metallic and very brightening wherever it was applied. It stayed on well for nine hours on me before starting to fade slightly.

Brav-O
Marc Jacobs Beauty Brav-O Omega Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a golden bronze with warm underto nes and a pearly sheen. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and blendable without being too loosely nor too firmly pressed in the pan, which mitigated concerns about fallout while still ensuring even adherence to bare skin. This shade lasted beautifully for nine and a half hours on me before it started to fade a bit.

O MG
Marc Jacobs Beauty O MG Omega Eyeshadow ($29.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark copper with warm undertones and a pearl finish. It had good pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was smooth with slight slip, as it was dense and not at all powdery, but it wasn’t stiff to work with and picked up well with a brush. The color applied fairly evenly, but I noticed it was best applied in a pressing motion than a sweeping one, otherwise the color did not adhere as well. On me, it lasted for nine hours before fading slightly.

O MG is one I’ll aim to see in store. It’s a basic that I can imagine wearing often. Thing is though that I have all I need in terms of core, basic shadows that I don’t know when I’ll be done with enough of them that it would make any sense to buy this large pot. We’ll see.
Gorgeous autumnal shades here – love Bravo and O Yeah. I like what that brand has done with the names too.
There it is! My giant pale yellow beige to go with my giant yellow brown (Daddi O). I’m officially set for life. 🙂
I like the clever “name game” too and a few of these look really nice but the price is just too off-putting to me for shadows the likes of which I already have in my e/s drawer.
O Yeah and Primo are my faves out of the bunch.
