Sydney Grace Be Mine (Deep) Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Be Mine (Deep)
Sydney Grace Be Mine (Deep) Eyeshadow Palette ($52.00 for 0.95 oz.) is a new, permanent eyeshadow palette that includes 15 shades spread across seven matte shades and eight shimmer shades. The palette is available in a Light and Deep version with six shades being adjusted to work better on Lighter vs. Darker skin tones. You’ll see these shades indicated by “(Deep)” after the shade name, and I have provided a verbal description of the difference along with a side-by-side swatch comparison.
For those who like more neutral-to-warm, slightly muted neutral eyeshadows that lean a little pink, it would be a nice option to pick up and is consistent with the brand’s high quality formulas.

Smooch (Deep)
Smooch (Deep) is a medium-dark golden pewter with warm undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff that yielded a smooth, even application. The texture was smooth, dense but not overly firm or too thick, and cream-like. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.
It is significantly darker, richer, and more golden than the Light version (they’re not similar at all).

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).

All Mine (Deep)
All Mine (Deep) is a light-medium, caramel brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, fairly blendable texture but was a little more firmly-pressed than ideal. This shade wore well for eight hours before fading visibly on my skin.
It is darker, more reddish and slightly lower in quality (more firmly-pressed) compared to the Light version.

Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

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).

Eye Candy
Eye Candy is a deep olive green with muted, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, almost cream-like texture to the touch, but it was dense and firm enough not to be powdery but still blended out with ease. It lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Smitten
Smitten is a medium-dark, warmer black with a slightly sparkle throughout its metallic finish. It was denser and thicker compared to most of the brand’s eyeshadows, which may have been to help the more noticeable sparkles bind with the underlying product, but it did require a heavier handed approach to pick up product evenly. This shade wore nicely for eight and a half hours before creasing.

Formula Overview

The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

As much as I prefer the deeper pinks in the Deep version, I know that I love the neutral shades in the Light version so much more. However, I do love how the deep, rich grungy shades are the same in both! And those are what most attracts me to both Be Mine palettes.
Very pretty – I like the olive tones and that beautiful Smooch shade.
