Formula Overview
$7.50/0.074 oz. - $101.35 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "silky-rich pigment" with a "blendable, soft-cream-gel." The majority of the shades were quite pigmented with very little product needed to get full opacity. I found that the finish of the shades tended to be quite shiny--they looked wet even though they did not feel that way.
The texture was lightweight, lightly emollient but more of a cream-to-powder product as it did not feel overly slick or wet when initially picked up or as it dried down. The dry down was powder-like as it remained somewhat blendable and very flexible, so it wasn't smudge-proof (like if one wiped their eyes) but did have good longevity as there was no fading or creasing unil after 9 hours of wear.

It’s so fabulous when a small indie brand like Moira Cosmetics achieves an A+ from you Christine and that some of their shades, like Comet and Infinity are better than similar shades from expensive titans like PMG, CT, ND etc.
Infinity and Comet look really nice as lid shades. Not what I would call unique, as I likely have similar enough eyeshadow shades, but I definitely do still love them both.
Milky Way is on my WL to use as an inner corner/inner lid brightening shade.
Have Infinity, can confirm it’s A+! I’m very fair but also quite pink, so a lot of shades in the “goldish” family look too warm on me — but this one’s super neutral, almost a light silver-khaki. Blends out beautifully for a full-lid wash with plenty of tiny sparkles but no strong base color to go all patchy on my pale AF skin and leave an awkward looking line. Yay, now I don’t have to hoard the last scraps of my Armani “Silver Mirage” eye tint (which it strongly resembles). Have a few of the super dark shades too and they’re equally workable, except of course that I need a mid-tone to blend them into. Wish they’d do more cool-toned / neutral light and mid colors of these!
Thanks for this helpful description!
Infinity is really nice and unique for me, with an ever so brownish, golden slight light green pull. Can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s very nice!
