Pat McGrath Antique Gold 002 EYEdols Eyeshadow

Antique Gold 002

Antique Gold 002 is a light-medium gold with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation applied dry and full coverage applied with a dampened brush. The texture was dense, firmer in the pan but picked up well with a brush, and it softened slightly after two uses. The color applied evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely with very minimal fallout (applied with a dry brush). It wore well for 10 hours on me before creasing faintly and didn’t seem to have fallout during wear.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.04 oz. - $625.00 Per Ounce

Pat McGrath's eyeshadows are, generally, supposed to be "super-saturated" with "creamy, soft textures" and "extreme blendability and adherence without creasing." A lot of how well they perform (and to some degree, how they are supposed to be applied and marketed) depends on the type of shades, but by and large, the eyeshadows perform very much as they are described.

The brand released single eyeshadows in March 2019, and the shades have been consistent in quality, look, and feel. They are not removable, unfortunately, so one would have to depot like any other single eyeshadow--I tried using tweezers and lifting on several shades to no avail. The lids are held closed by a weak magnet, so I'm not sure they're as secure as most single eyeshadow compacts in my stash--I wish it really locked in, but there's definitely a magnet that pulls the lid down if it's within 2mm of the base.

The mattes are velvety, blendable, and dense without being thick or too heavy, and they have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation where a little can go a long way with some of the deeper and richer hues. The satin and pearl finishes are smooth, lightly creamy, and firmer but not dense or thick with good pigmentation, blendability, and easy application. The more metallic finishes tend to be softer, creamy, and smooth with a bit more denseness and no powderiness. The sparkly/glittery shades are often designed to be applied wet for richer coverage or intensity, which has largely been my experience. Most of the shades last between eight and nine hours.

Pat McGrath Astral Rose Orchid EYEdols Eyeshadow

Astral Rose Orchid

Astral Rose Orchid is a brighter, warmer pink with a sparkling, pink-to-gold shifting duochrome finish. I found that it looked like a light-medium pink less than half of the time; most of the time, it was lighter, brighter, and more of peachy-gold with flecks of pink.

The texture was fairly smooth, but I could feel (by touch) how much sparkle was packed into the formula, but I was impressed by how well the sparkles and powder came together as it had minimal fallout during application–even with a dry brush–and how there didn’t seem to be additional fallout during blending, though there was some dispersion (more so than intended).

It had good pigmentation applied dry as well as with a dampened brush; I didn’t find that the dampened brush improved the underlying base color come through much but it helped with laying down a smoother, shinier layer of product overall. On me, the eyeshadow stayed on well for over 10 hours with very minimal fallout over time.

Pat McGrath Rose Quartz 005 EYEdols Eyeshadow

Rose Quartz 005

Rose Quartz 005 is a medium, rosy plum with subtle, warm undertones and slightly cooler pink sparkle over a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation applied dry as well as with a dampened brush, though dampened application made the color appear darker, richer, and gave it a shinier finish.

The texture was fairly smooth, but there was a textural element there from the sparkles at the surface. It felt denser and more firmly-pressed in the pan, and it softened after the initial use, though I didn’t struggle to get coverage or work with it on first use but noticed more product picked up more readily on the second and third uses.

It applied evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. I didn’t experience issues with fallout during the initial lay down of product onto my lid, and there seemed like a few stray sparkles that dropped during blending. It lasted nicely for 10 hours with slight fallout over time.

Pat McGrath Beyond Bronze 003 EYEdols Eyeshadow

Beyond Bronze 003

Beyond Bronze 003 is a light-medium, golden bronze with muted, warm undertones and a lightly sparkled, pearly sheen. It was the least shimmery/metallic shade in the quad, but it definitely has a reflective finish to it and won’t give the depth of a true matte finish (even in a pinch) would.

The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense and almost cream-like but more firmly-pressed into the pan. It had rich color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease along the edge without losing its intensity. It wore well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.
