Twenty Seven

Melt Cosmetics Twenty Seven 10-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($58.00 for 0.66 oz.) is a new, limited edition warm-toned palette with eight mattes and two sparkly shades. The mattes were quite nice–pigmented, blendable, long-wearing–but the two shimmers left something to be desired. The worst part is just that the shimmer shades are not particularly unique or different and yet so disappointing compared to the numerous dupes available. Shimmery golds, bronzes, and coppers seem like shades that any brand at any price point can push out good variations of… and yet Melt manages to disappoint with them.

Naked Sleep

Naked Sleep is a medium-dark peach with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was slightly denser but still soft and blendable with a touch of powderiness in the pan. It had rich pigmentation that applied well to bare skin, but I noticed there was a touch of ashiness when I mixed it with some of the more red-based mattes. It stayed on well for eight hours on me.

Downtown

Downtown is a medium brown with warm, rusty red undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent color coverage with a soft, velvety texture that was blendable and easy to work with on the lid. This shade wore well for just over eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Nip Slip

Nip Slip is a soft, medium coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had good color payoff, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The texture was soft, a touch thinner compared to the other shades, but it applied well to bare skin and blended out easily. It lasted for just over eight hours before it started to fade on me.

Moxie

Moxie is a rich copper with warm red undertones and matte finish. The pigmentation was fantastic with opaque color coverage achieved in a single layer. The eyeshadow felt finely-milled and velvety without being powdery, yet it still blended out with ease. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before it started to look faded.

Crimefighter

Crimefighter is a bright, medium-dark orange with warm, brown undertones and a sparkling, frosted sheen. The texture was dry to the touch, which made it prone to fallout unless it was really pressed and pushed into the skin (which made fingertips the best tool to use). It appeared more much sparkly in the pan than what translated on the skin. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me but had moderate fallout. It’s strange that the shimmers in the brand’s larger-format palettes are so weak when the mattes are higher quality (often the finish that brands don’t get right).

1 More Thing

1 More Thing is a soft, light taupe with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, smooth, and velvety with a bit of powderiness that was present in the pan but not in the application, as the eyeshadow had opaque coverage and applied evenly to bare skin. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading.

Thick is a muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm red undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff with a soft, smooth texture that was just a smidgen powdery in the pan but applied well to bare skin and didn’t have fallout.

Vegas Past

Vegas Past is a mediu, golden bronze with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was drier and more loosely pressed with a chunky feel to the touch, and it applied dismally with dry brushes or fingertips; it had to be applied with a dampened brush (moderately wet) in order to pick up enough product for smooth, even color coverage that was more opaque. There was moderate fallout when I used it with a dry brush, so again, the shade lost a lot of its versatility due to the texture. On its own, it wore well for six hours and had fallout over time.

Whiskey Neat

Whiskey Neat is a medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft, velvety texture that wasn’t too firmly nor too softly pressed in the pan, which made it easy to work with on the lid. This shade stayed on well for just over eight hours before fading a bit.

Moonchild

Moonchild is a deep brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented and applied evenly to bare skin, though it took a little more effort to diffuse as it seemed more prone to melting on the lid and having a stronger adhesion wherever it was initially applied–but it wasn’t too much effort to diffuse. If layered over other powder eyeshadows, I didn’t experience any blending problems. The texture was smooth, slightly drier to the touch, and more firmly pressed compared to other mattes in the palette. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

The two shimmers almost pushed me over the edge to purchasing this and now I’m really glad I didn’t as the colors left are not ones I would wear. Thank you for the review!

Also, I really wish the Gemini palette had been restocked when this one released as I would’ve snatched it up.

I totally agree. I bought the palette and the mattes are freaking awesome however when I used the shimmer shadows they were horrible and very disappointing.
