Marc Jacobs Beauty Edgitorial Eye-Conic Eyeshadow PaletteMarc Jacobs Beauty Edgitorial Eye-Conic Eyeshadow Palette ($49.00 for 0.21 oz.) features seven shades with four different finishes (velvet, satin, silk and lamé). The eyeshadow formula is supposed to have "lasting, velvety-rich pigment." The color combination was a mix of warmer and neutral shades from matte to intense metallic finishes. I found the palette to be easy to use overall to create a cohesive look with solely the shades included (I didn't feel like I needed to look beyond it). A few shades could have been more pigmented, though they were typically buildable and with how deep two of them were, I suspect some will prefer them as buildable.

A few obvious differences between the new Eye-Conic palettes and the previous Style Eye-Con No. 7 palettes: they actually decreased by $10 in price (they used to be $59) with only a slight decrease in quantity (0.21 oz. vs. 0.25 oz.), and each eyeshadow has been named. The ingredient lists differ from shade to shade, which makes it harder to really compare easily, and I saw a lot of similar ingredients but order often varied; they seemed similar to me just by touching, wearing, and applying with maybe slightly higher dimethicone quantities in the shimmery shades and a slightly firmer press (but not stiff) for more matte shades (so less powder kicked up in the pan).
