Star Dust

Marc Jacobs Beauty Star Dust See-quins Glam Glitter Eyeshadow ($28.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with strong, warm undertones and flashes of gold and pink sparkle and glitter. It had good pigmentation applied dry as well as with a dampened brush with the dampened application yielding a brighter, more sparkling finish that looked smoother on my skin. The texture was loosely pressed but had good adherence and minimal fallout (especially considering how much sparkle and glitter was in it!), and it was easy to blend out along the edges. Its lasted well for nine hours on me with very little fallout over time.

Note: The ingredient list shows Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET glitter) as an ingredient, but there were no warnings on the box nor on the product listing. It turns out that some of the previously released shades also include Polyethylene Terephthalate. The product is marketed for eyes, and it is called eyeshadow. Typically, products containing Polyethylene Terephthalate often come with a warning that they are "not intended for use around the immediate eye area" (like ColourPop Pressed Glitters), but there have been an increasing number of instances where brands include it and market those products for eyes specifically (like Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Gels and Glossier Play Glitter Gelees).
