Antique Coin

Sydney Grace Antique Coin Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was soft, smooth, and dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan nor was it thick to work with, so it picked up well with a dry brush and had excellent adhesion to bare skin. The pigmentation was opaque and lasted nicely for nine hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$6.25/0.06 oz. - $104.17 Per Ounce

The shimmer eyeshadows are more consistent in pigmentation with the majority of shades having opaque color coverage. The more metallic/sparkly the shade is, the creamier and more emollient the eyeshadow felt in the pan, which often yielded really smooth application and good adherence to the lid, though a few worked better with a fingertip or a dampened brush for true-to-pan color or to get a truer finish/sheen.

Most shades, however, worked well with brushes, and I didn't have trouble applying or blending out most of the shimmer shades. The more satin to pearl like finishes tend to feel a little thinner but blend out well. These shades wore between eight and nine hours on me with some of the more foiled-like shades creasing noticeably at the end (and the less foiled-like ones fading).

Frosted Morning

Sydney Grace Frosted Morning Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium-dark taupe-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had rich color coverage in a single layer that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of color that blended out effortlessly along the edge.

The consistency was soft, smooth, and lightly creamy without being too dense nor too softly-pressed into the pan. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Fire Catcher

Sydney Grace Fire Catcher Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a muted, dusty red with subtle, warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation paired with a soft, smooth consistency that was lightly cream without being overly dense that it became stiff to work with. There were signs of wear after eight and a half hours of wear.

Forbidden Love

Sydney Grace Forbidden Love Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a vivid, medium-dark fuchsia pink with cooler undertones and a subtle, bluish sheen. It had excellent color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edge without losing its intensity.

The texture felt smooth to the touch, dense but not too firmly-pressed into the pan, and picked up well with a dry brush. It lasted nicely for nine hours before fading a bit.

Sydney Grace Designer Shimmer Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a brighter, lighter mint green with cooler undertones and a faint, subtly warmer, golden sheen. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation in a single pass, which applied well to my lid and blended out well along the edges.

The texture was soft, smooth, and slightly firmer in the pan compared to other shades (not quite as creamy) but was just as easy to work with. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
