Dark Matter

Melt Cosmetics Dark Matter Eyeshadow Stack (x4) ($48.00 for 0.36 oz.) contains a medium peach, soft brown, rich plum, and deep black. Two shades–Blurr and Unseen–had sheerer coverage, while two shades–Enigma and Dark Matter–were fairly pigmented. I think whether the sheerer coverage of the first two shades is a deal-breaker depends more on one’s skin tone and how one expects to use the set of shades; I could see where some may prefer the softer coverage given the color scheme.

Blurr

Blurr is a medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft and finely-milled, but it was moderately powdery, so it had a tendency to sheer out a bit too readily and only had semi-opaque coverage at best. With a primer, it was a little easier to work with as more of it adhered to the lid, but it was hard to get full coverage out of this particular shade. The color stayed on well for seven hours on me before fading noticeably.

Unseen

Unseen is a soft, light-medium brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a soft, velvety texture that wasn’t powdery or dusty in the pan, but it was still easy to blend out and diffuse on bare skin. The color lasted nicely for eight hours before it started to fade on me.

Enigma

Enigma is a muted, medium-dark plummy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with half of a layer more. The texture was smooth, finely-milled, and blendable with minimal dustiness in the pan. It wore well for eight hours on me.
