Rare Beauty Magnetic Spirit Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Magnetic Spirit
Rare Beauty Magnetic Spirit Eyeshadow Palette ($25.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new, limited edition six-pan palette that includes all shimmer shades, though they varied from more satin-to-pearl to intense, sparkling and metallic. All six shades had semi-opaque or better color payoff in a single layer, while the formula was generally creamier, denser, and smoother so fallout wasn’t a concern. They had better adhesion on bare skin and looked a bit “melted” when applied and blended out.

LELimited Edition. $25.00.
Ablaze
Ablaze is a brighter, warmer coral base with flecks of pink and blue sparkle that shifted from warmer pink to brighter, cooler violet. It had a very shiny finish with moderate sparkle, and the texture was more emollient and cream-like, which helped a lot of those larger sparkles adhere to bare skin and bind with the underlying base color. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly and lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Ablaze
LELimited Edition.
Ignite
Igniteis a muted, medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. The texture was smooth, dense, and slightly firmer in the pan compared to other shades, so it did require a heavier hand to pick up product evenly–though definitely not too challenging. The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage that adhered well and wore nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

Power
Power is a deep purple with cooler undertones and a satin sheen. It had rich color coverage that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of product that blended out well along the edges. The consistency was smooth to the touch, more velvety and moderately dense, so it was best applied with a more moderate hand (a very light-handed touch might not pick up product as evenly). This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Great quality and the shades are beautiful, but the color scheme seems highly confused! Purples with a bright orange and an olive green? They have me feeling lost here.
I would get the other palette over this one.
Oh dear – Passion is such a stunning colour (and I do have Dusk Til Dawn) but there are 3 shades in there that I’d never use. But I may well break down and buy this (if it’s at my local Sephora) and force myself to use some of the “out of my comfort zone” colours.
I bought and love it… have seen people mix both sides of the palette to make beautiful looks and that olive green is stunning all over the lid for an easy look. I couldn’t believe how well it went on with a flat brush. I’m wearing it now!!
Another excellent palette from this brand and I love the vivid shades. I think the delicate peachy gold shade Clarity would pair well with all of the colours, with the orangey shade combining with the purple and olive green shade as a contrast. Quite a versatile offering.
I thought the color story was disjointed (okay, I still do), but your swatches really show them to their best advantage, and I can totally see wanting this now. I wouldn’t mind using these as a companion to another, probably all matte palette. You just have to plan for a second.
Ohhh, It looks absolutely stunning!!! I’d never been so exited for a new brand! Many many interesting pieces. Of course, since this is an US exclusive brand, there is no way I can put my hand on anything🙁
I’m surprised they don’t have global retailers!
I hope, when this will be available in Europe that this little palette will still be around. I really like it so much. The colour story is unusual but fun and interesting. I love, love the purple and the olive shades most of all.
I absolutely love it. I have been very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products in this launch! Pretty sure I’ll be getting it and using it with a matte single or palette I already have.
I can already see this looking amazing with Viseart’s Editorial Brights, Dark Mattes, or Warm Mattes, so bring it on!
