Sydney Grace Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Odds & Ends, Part 2)
Peanut Butter
Sydney Grace Peanut Butter Matte Shadow ($5.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a soft, light-medium brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly nor too softly pressed. The eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and lasted nicely for eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Formula Overview
$5.00/0.06 oz. - $83.33 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.

Dear Ms Christine, it is far too dangerous for my wallet to browse SG matte shadows with your swatches! Just loving this brand.
These are really solid matte shades, quite versatile. I think the Pismo shade is excellent because some matte taupe shades can be quite ashy looking, whereas this shade is not.
She really did a wonderful job with these neutral “basics” that would make for every day workhorse mattes and satiny mattes! I’m really loving Sunset, Peanut Butter and Tangerine! That said; yes, I have these shades as dupes.
