Editor's Review

The majority of the brand's eyeshadows are quite pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing. The eyeshadows have improved over time, particularly with respect to longevity (without a primer). The original formula often creased on me within seven to eight hours, whereas the more current formula wears eight to nine hours with fading (instead of full-on creasing). The more matte finishes tend to be a bit more velvety, substantial, and less dry/powdery compared to prior iterations.

The metallic finish is often the creamiest, slightly denser in feel, but has excellent pigmentation, adhesion, and blendability. The sparkling shades can have some fallout, depending on how they're applied and how sparkly they are, so they sometimes work better with fingertips or a dampened brush; they can also run...

Cream-Powders are the more unique formulation and tend to have firmer, almost stiff, consistencies and more semi-opaque, watercolor-esque coverage. They are longer-wearing, but they can take a few uses to learn how to use. This formula has also improved compared to when it first debuted--it is a bit more yielding now.

Galaxia is a glittery, sparkly sheer eyeshadow and how it looks on your eyes is very dependent on the way you apply it. That said, it is my absolute favourite shadow from the Star palette, and one of the main reasons I bought it. I heard and read many negative reviews saying that this shade has too much fallout and is not pigmented and would have to be applied with a glitter glue for the best results. I have to agree to all of these critiques, but these points are not as negative to me as to other people. Whether you like this shadow or not greatly depends on what it is you are looking for. If you are looking for a buttery metallic shadow with a super pigmented rosy base that is opaque in one strike, this is not it. I was looking for a sparkly shadow with a sheer base to layer over other shadows and this is exactly what I wanted. This shadow is best applied with glitter glue and with your fingers or a dense, flat brush, which I don't mind doing. If you apply it correctly, you have only minimal fallout and gorgeous, multicoloured specks and sparkles on a sheer base.
