Melt Cosmetics Radioactive Pressed Pigment

Radioactive

Radioactive is a bright, medium-dark fuchsia with cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer more. The texture was a smidgen drier and dustier compared to most of Melt’s matte eyeshadows. It blended out just fine in practice, though, and had minor fallout during application. The color stayed on well for eight hours and did not seem to stain.

Melt Cosmetics Xenon Eyeshadow

Xenon

Xenon is a bright, chartreuse green with warm, yellow undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin. It was the easiest shade to use in the set, as it blended well and didn’t have major issues with fallout. The consistency was soft, more loosely pressed, but thankfully, that didn’t seem to cause any problems. It wore well for eight hours on me and stained slightly.

Melt Cosmetics Neon Eyeshadow

Neon

Neon is a bright pop of lemon yellow with warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. There were faint gold flecks in the pan, but I didn’t find that they translated in a meaningful way onto the lid. The texture was somewhat powdery, and the eyeshadow had a tendency to sheer out a bit when I blended out the edges. I had to pat and pack on the color a few times to maintain the vibrancy level on the lid that appeared in the pan. It lasted for eight hours on me before fading.

Melt Cosmetics Radon Pressed Pigment

Radon

Radon is a vibrant, medium-dark coral-orange with faint, pinkish pearl over a more matte finish. The consistenccy was moderately powdery but very finely-milled that it seemed a touch drier by touch. It had good color coverage but was hard to apply to bare skin, as it went on a bit patchy and had some fallout (even when I was careful) to contend with, so I’d make sure to do eye makeup first with this shade. I noticed signs of wear after eight hours on my lids.
