Sunbeam

Sydney Grace Sunbeam Shimmer Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark yellow with strong, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the consistency was smooth, lightly creamy and adhered evenly to my lid. It blended out easily and stayed on well for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview

$5.00/0.06 oz. - $83.33 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).

Tempest

Sydney Grace Tempest Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, light-medium lime green with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that was denser but still worked well with a dry brush and adhered evenly to my lid. This shade wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

The Shallows

Sydney Grace The Shallows Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium, greenish-teal with cooler undertones but much warmer, golden shimmer. It had good color payoff with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was dense but not too firmly pressed nor too thick in consistency. The eyeshadow applied evenly and blended out nicely along the edges on my lid. It lasted well for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Midnight Green

Sydney Grace Midnight Green Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a blackened green with a warm, brown base and a pearly sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that adhered evenly and smoothly to my lid. The texture was smooth to the touch, firmer without being stiff or too thick, and remained blendable on my skin. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading slightly on me.

Megalodon

Sydney Grace Megalodon Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, sparkling medium teal with cool, blue undertones and a metallic finish. The pigmentation was very nearly opaque in a single layer. It had a chunkier, thicker consistency, which I found applied better with fingertips or a dampened brush but wasn’t as foolproof to work with dry (with a brush). The texture was creamy, more loosely pressed, and there was a bit of fallout during application. It applied best by pressing and patting onto the skin, and then buffing/blending out the edges. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

Determined

Sydney Grace Determined Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a dusty teal with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had buildable pigmentation from medium to mostly opaque (opaque over a primer). It was one of the “weakest” shades I’ve tried by the brand thus far, and while the pigmentation was a let-down, the texture enabled it to build up well without being too powdery or prone to fallout. The texture felt soft and was blendable on my lid. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

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.

Mint Green

Sydney Grace Mint Green Pressed Pigment Shadow ($6.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light-medium aqua with warmer, green undertones and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, denser consistency that was slightly thicker in feel. It could have applied a bit more evenly initially, but I had no trouble evening out the application and blending out the edges. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews.

Only tangentially related but these color combos are almost my ideal “green” palette. Everyone seems to want green palette to be all green or green and blue but I want a “green” palette to be greens, olives, chartreuse, yellows. I would be all over that kinda layout.

We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
