Melt Cosmetics Fire Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Fire
Melt Cosmetics Fire Bad Side Zodaic Eyeshadow Palette ($38.00 for 0.28 oz.) released earlier this month as an eight-shade, sunset-hued color story. The matte formula actually seemed less dense/intense compared to Melt’s normal matte formula, but they were easier to control and build up. The shimmers were also less firmly-pressed than I’d typically associate with Melt, which made them improved.

Quality wise, this is a much better one than the palette you reviewed the other day. For those who like and wear these bright hues, will be pleased that the palette has rated so well.
Arrogant is a gorgeous shimmer shade.
Most of the highly saturated ultra-pigmentated eyeshadows,I think look best on darker skin tones.
Is there a product line that is more complimentary for pale/fair skin?
So very nice! But nope, have too many of these colors and don’t wear them much.
