Eyeshadow

By JESSICA 2 years ago.

I wish I could buy this one separate! it shifts from a dark pine green to purple depending on the light, with makes it great for the outer corner in purple/green looks. I'm going to be very sad when I've used it up and can't get more. I use it with pixie epoxy, and haven't had issues with fallout throughout the day.

I found Subculture in the checkout line at Marshalls in 2022 for a good price ($20 usd - just had to see what everyone was complaining about). While I've got issues with the (lack of) vibrancy of some of the mattes, Electric has proved surprisingly useful. It looks gold in the pan, but on my eyes, has a strong green tone to it. This pale green is great for inner eye and brow bone for some of my more extreme looks (I use it with several of my Fyrinnae looks - it pairs well with Alchemist, and is good for an oil-slick look). I always use primer, and haven't had any issues with it fading before I get home from work. It's a good accent, though I don't like how it looks as a main lid color. Overall, if you see this palette for Cheap, and you're into really colorful looks, I would say it's worth it.

A+ indeed! Christine's rating for this shadow is spot on. Initially, I got this because it was an attainable dupe for Metal Saffron from the Estee Lauder/Victoria Beckham palette (which I wasn't able to get and which was pricey and contained shadows I either didn't want or didn't need). Chiffon is a terrific "one and done" shadow and works well as a lid or outer lid shade as well. The pigmentation is excellent and the finish is so smooth and flattering so that even though this is shimmery, it isn't scaly looking or aging. It's not too dark which is why it works well for me as an "all over the lid/into the crease" shade. It really is perfection.

The shadow is not pigmented and hard to use. Very disappointing

I found it so patchy and very difficult to build, which is such a shame because the pinks and reds were the 'fun' of the palette.

I agree with Christine's review. One of the silkiest, softest eyeshadow I've ever touch. This is really soft so a little goes a long way, the pigmentation is insane. Abh shadow are expensive where I live and I got it on sale but this shade, I don't mind paying 14 euros for it because it is that good !

Lacks pigment and won't build up, and the finish is very dull for a shimmer. The duochrome shift is very hard to notice especially with the lack of pigment and shine.

I thought this was a shimmer, but it's actually a matte with microsparkle. But as Temptalia notes the sparkle does not show once applied. If only I'd checked here before buying this one! It's a dud in my opinion, although, the color is pretty if you just want a matte.

I love this shade to set down my eyeshadow base. I find all other Anastasia shades blend out so easily on top of it. I have completely used up this shade from my Modern Renaissance palette. I am hoping to get this shade again in the Soft Glam Palette!

This has quickly become one of my absolute favorite eyeshadows ... ever. I still cannot believe how awful it swatched and performed during your review. It hurts my heart a little. Anyway, mine was purchased in late 2017 from Abh's website and I want to believe they changed it for the better somehow between your review and when I purchased mine.

I purchased this color as a dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 2 in the Basics Palette, since I found the UD shadow creased and faded throughout the day. Stone is a better fit for me, and it makes a subtle, but effective crease color for my usual day eye look. With primer it lasted 8-9 hours on my eyelids which are both oily and hooded. After that time, it faded slightly and had a small amount of creasing, although less than I experienced with other shadows. This has become a staple color for my palette.

I was finally able to purchase this to add to my collection (my local Sephora didn't stock it for a while and then they were always out of it). What a gorgeous rich brown with lovely pearly finish, similar to Inglot's Pearl finish. I already have Truffle Glitter which I thought might be very close in colour to this but they are quite different (Truffle Glitter seems to lean more cool and almost greenish grey compared to the warmer brown of Chocolate). This is so pigmented and looks gorgeous but it blends so nicely that you don't have to worry about harsh edges or a harsh look overall.

I love wearing this product on it's own when I'm at work or class. When teamed with a primer it lasts +8 with minimal fading. It goes with plenty of lip and blush combinations and adds pretty depth to the eye without being over the top. I have this in the Modern Renaissance palette, but it also comes in single pans, which I'll probably buy when I inevitably use mine up!

Primavera sadly doesn't apply evenly on me. The product balls up slightly, making the result uneven.

I am so surprised by how much I like this shade, which I thought would go untouched in the "Mario" palette. It looks so warm and brick-red brown but when I apply this, it "cools down" and becomes the most terrific shade of blackened, shadowy brown. A total surprise and a winner.

Love, love, love this peachy/champagne beauty. It's along the lines of MAC's All That Glitters or Naked Lunch, 2 shadows which I really love and use often. And as much as I have promised myself at least to TRY to stop buying the same sorts of shades that I already have in almost embarrassing abundance, I am very glad I have this as it is excellent - flattering, brightening, smooth and pigmented.

Sephora carries a limited range of the Anastasia single shadows in store; many of the shades are "online only". Since I prefer to see the shadows for myself, compare to those I already have, etc., buying in-store suits me more than ordering online. I got Legend because it was one of the few shades available in-store that I liked and which seemed a bit different from shadows I have in my collection but, to be honest, I wasn't really wowed by it until I got it home. What a great shadow! I've been so pleased with all my Anastasia purchases to date. Legend is a wonderful shade of gleaming golden beige. It can be sheered out for a subtle brightening effect or packed on for a more intense look. Texture is outstanding.

To be perfectly honest, I only really chose this colour to make up the 4th shadow in a quad. The Sephora near me doesn't carry Chocolate Crumble (at least not yet...it is supposed to be an "in store" shade) and I nearly got Chocolate (Titanium) but decided to go for something more matte since the other 3 shadows I bought were shimmery ones. I was torn between Hot Chocolate and Smoke but Smoke won out. It's actually much cooler looking than the photo here would lead one to believe. The 2 qualities that tipped me in favour of this were the smooth, evenly pigmented texture (with no patchiness, which wasn't the case with Hot Chocolate) and the fact that this is cooler. While I will probably purchase Hot Chocolate one of these days, I am really happy to have Smoke as part of my Anastasia quad.
