Pat McGrath Huetopian Dream Mothership Eyeshadow Palette ($125.00 for 0.47 oz.) will work best for someone who doesn't mind experimenting with application techniques, using additional products (like a tacky base), and doesn't mind potential fallout if it means ultra sparkly goodness all over one's eyes. This Mothership really felt like it was coming from more of an artist perspective than some of the past few palettes (like Divine Rose) that have been more user-friendly and foolproof to work with.
Three shades--Bronze Solaris 005, Astral Venusian Orchid, and Astral Amethyst Moon--have chunkier, slightly drier consistencies that were more translucent in base product, so they had a lot of sparkle, gave a particularly high-shine, almost wet, finish, but they were more prone to fallout during application and during wear (particularly during wear) than I've previously experienced with these formulas in past palettes. The brand noted that these three shades should be applied with a damp brush, which was how I tested and reviewed, but they really need a tackier base (like the IntensifEYES Artistry Wand launched with this palette).
I wouldn't say it's really optional; dampened with water gets you better initial application (less fallout, more coverage, and a more even layer) but there's still noteworthy fallout while worn; the Astral shades in particular were enough to be mildly irritating (as in, I could feel things in my eye). I tested those shades applied with MAC Fix+, which is a common product people use to wet eyeshadows, and the brand's new IntensifEYES Artistry Wand (review to come, probably) and had similar results with both, but they both minimized fallout during wear to the point where I didn't find my eyes irritated at the end of the day. The Artistry Wand had slightly more tackiness initially so the product was less readily disturbed compared to Fix+.
Based on past experience with Astral shades, I really think that these should have been described as something else and notated as sheerer/translucent with amplified sparkle. If you're someone who has found past Astral shades to be too sparkly or prone to fallout, I would imagine these would perform more extreme for you (in a bad way!). If you don't mind fallout, like the shine and sparkle of Astrals in the past and tend to use a tacky base/primer, then you may love these for being more intense.
