Unbreakable Bond (Light)

Sydney Grace Unbreakable Bond (Light) 16-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($60.00 for 0.635 oz.) includes eight matte eyeshadows and eight shimmer eyeshadows across a mix of warmer-toned neutrals, corals, and pops of cooler gray, blue, and taupe. The quality was exactly as I’ve come to expect from Sydney Grace: smooth, velvety mattes with creamy shimmers that apply with ease and last nicely. This is the Light version of the palette; only three shades different between the Light and Deep versions: Mama, Dusty Trails, and Cleveland.

Worth noting, there are some existing shades in the palette (Adore Me and Shaley’s Shimmer, which I did find to be a bit different in the palettes, Spring Fling, Tiara, and Indiana Love).

This palette launches March 27th at 9AM PT.

Spring Fling

Spring Fling is a medium, peachy-orange base with lighter, pink-to-lavender shifting pearl.

  • Opaque color coverage
  • Smooth, lightly creamy, dense but not too firm
  • Applied evenly and was blendable
  • Long-wearing (8.5 hours before fading visibly)

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

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).

Adore Me (Unbreakable Bond)

Adore Me (Unbreakable Bond) is a dusty, medium pink-coral with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It seemed a bit pinker than the single I have.

  • Opaque color coverage
  • Smooth, velvety, not too powdery or too firmly-pressed
  • Applied evenly and was blendable
  • Long-wearing (8.5 hours before fading visibly)

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.

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.

Tiara

Tiara is a medium-dark, bronzy taupe with moderate, warm undertones and a lightly sparkling, metallic finish.

  • Opaque color coverage
  • Smooth, lightly creamy, dense but not too firm
  • Applied evenly and was blendable
  • Long-wearing (8.5 hours before fading visibly)

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

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).

Because I already have a virtual TON of these shades in my possession, I won’t be going to purchase it. It lacks uniqueness. Which all their other palettes DO have. Besides, I like the tones of blues that you put in your collab palettes much more, for example: Flying High vs Shakey’s Shimmer.
Now, if I didn’t already have loads of warmer neutrals as well as ND Glam and SG x Temptalia On The Horizon, this is the one I would have bought of the 2 versions, though.

I particularly like Taylor Girl and Cleveland Light. Not enough to buy the whole palette just for those two shades, but definitely to look for single dupes.

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!
