Editor's Review

Gilded Night #1 is described as a "black with pearl." It's a soft black with silver shimmer. Applied dry, it's sheer and dry; applied damp, it is somewhat more pigmented but still significantly softer and more muted than it appears in the pan. It showed some signs of fading after seven hours of wear. Too Faced Starry Night (LE) is darker. Sephora Collection Animal Instinct (01) (P, $13.00) is similar. MAC Dark Dare (LE, $21.00) is less sparkly, darker. Burberry Dark Spice #1 (P) is darker. See comparison swatches.

Claims / Ingredients

The Mineralize Eyeshadow formula is supposed to have "low-to-medium coverage" when applied dry and "more intense coverage and color" when used wet. Most shades have color payoff that is true to the brand's description: semi-sheer to semi-opaque when used dry and semi-opaque to opaque when used with a dampened brush. I tend to find that they apply more smoothly and evenly with a more metallic finish with a dampened brush as well. Some shades can be a little too dry or dusty and do not apply as well with a dry brush. The wear is typically a bit less than average on me--six to seven hours.
