Classic Blossom

KKW Beauty Classic Blossom 10-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($45.00 for 0.60 oz.) contains a mix of rose and red-tinged neutrals from pale peach to red to deep plum. While the texture of most of the mattes was incredibly silky, it did result in some powderiness and not all shades were richly pigmented–some were buildable and others definitely needed primer underneath them. The shimmer formula was inconsistent as some shades were quite nice to work with but a couple had room for improvement. Despite the shortcomings, it was one of those palettes that doesn’t seem to perform well looking at swatches alone but ended up being relatively easy to work with overall (the two deeper shades being more buildable made them more foolproof).

Chi

Chi is a light-medium, pink-coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had medium pigmentation that was hard to build up, even over a primer, as it was moderately powdery and prone to sheering out. I noticed some fading after seven hours of wear.

Baby

Baby is a light-medium brown with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had an incredibly silky consistency that was very finely-milled but was somewhat powdery in the pan. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was buildable on my skin, as it blended out well but didn’t lose its intensity (unless that was intended–like really blowing out the edges). This shade stayed on well for eight hours before it started to fade noticeably.

Samurai

Samurai is a medium-dark, rosy copper with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The consistency was slightly chunky to the touch, and it seemed to have a firmer press, which made it harder to pick up product with a brush without really pushing at the surface. There was some fallout when I applied it to my lid, though it blended out easily after pressing it onto my lid. It wore well for eight hours on me before it started to fade.

Blossom

Blossom is a medium-dark bronze with warm, reddish undertones and a pearly sheen. It had rich color coverage with a smooth, denser consistency that felt a little too firm in the pan, as I did have to use a heavier hand to pic up product evenly on a brush. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before it started to fade on me.

Japan

Japan is a pale peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, and it actually managed to hold much of that intensity on bare skin, though there was slight fallout. The consistency felt smooth, silky, and was a touch powdery in the pan. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before it started to fade noticeably.

Tree is a soft, light mauve with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich pigmentation that adhered well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. The consistency was soft, velvety, and a smidgen dusty in the pan but wasn’t dry or powdery applied. It lasted just over eight hours on my lid before fading a bit.

Season

Season is a deep plum with soft, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was more functionally a matte finish on my lid, but there were fine shimmers strewn throughout it. The texture was very finely-milled and silky to the touch but was on the more powdery side. It had medium, buildable pigmentation that blended out nicely along the edges. It wore well for eight hours before it showed signs of fading.

Hanami

Hanami is a deep red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with two to three layers. The consistency felt grainy and on the drier side, which can be something that happens with more matte, reddish hues like this, though it didn’t have a meaningful impact in the application as the eyeshadow blended out well along the edges. It lasted nicely for eight hours on me before starting to fade.

Smoke Sessions

Melt Cosmetics Smoke Sessions 8-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($48.00 for 0.58 oz.) is a limited edition palette that released and sold out promptly sold out in December. It’s a nice palette and includes a few shades that we don’t often seen in palettes, let alone housed together. I enjoyed the mix of warmer hues on the left and cooler tones on the right, though the palette will benefit from mixing and matching with lighter and more mid-tone shimmers and mattes in one’s stash.

I wanted to get my review up now before I forget how it wore (and now that I’ve survived the holiday palette season), as the palette will eventually be re-released. The brand last mentioned a restock was planned in a “few months” in late December, but there’s no concrete date. (Your best bet is to follow them on social media for the latest.) What I do know is that two green-themed palettes sold out QUICKLY! so I just feel like mainstream brands should get in on this green goodness… I wouldn’t say no…

Gravity OG

Gravity OG is a medium-dark gold with strong, orange undertones and flecks of gold micro-glitter over a frosted sheen. It had slight fallout as I applied and blended out the color on my lid, though the eyeshadow itself went on quite evenly using pressing/patting motions. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the texture felt denser, a little drier to the touch. It lasted well for eight and a half hours but had slight fallout over time.

Black Widow

Black Widow is a rich, medium-dark green with strong, golden olive undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a dense, lightly creamy texture that was thicker and worked best with denser brushes or synthetic brushes. The color went on evenly and blended out nicely along the edges. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel is a deep olive green with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque in one layer, while the consistency was soft, velvety, and dense–more substantial with some powderiness in the pan. A little went a long way, and if too much was applied, there was fallout during application. I’d also be careful of using this over tackier bases as it may darken over wetter surfaces. I had no trouble diffusing and blending out the shade in my crease over bare skin, though. It lasted well for eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Space Queen

Space Queen is a deep, bluish-teal with cool undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and diffused well along the edges without the product losing its intensity. The texture was soft, velvety, and smooth without being too powdery in the pan, though there was a touch of excess product that kicked up in the pan when I worked with it. The pigmentation was no joke, too, so I’d recommend using less than you think you’d need when initially applying the shade. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before it started to fade on me.

Mean Green

Mean Green is a deep, emerald green with subtle, warmer undertones and a metallic sheen. The pigmentation was fantastic with rich, even coverage delivered in a single layer. It had a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being too thick or too stiff in the pan, so it worked well with different types of brushes and techniques. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading slightly.

Sweet Tooth

Sweet Tooth is a bright, medium teal with subtle, cool undertones and a chunkier, glittery finish. The texture was thicker, denser, and a little too heavy on the emollients, as I felt like it struggled to go on evenly without using my fingertips or a dampened brush. The product had a tendency to look more glittery when diffused, and you’ll be able to see it looking less “even” along my crease, but the high-shine finish camouflages a lot of its imperfections in person (as it looked like a smoother blend in person than it appeared in photos). The eyeshadow lasted well for eight and a half hours before it started to crease on me.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is a pale aqua with subtle, warm undertones and cooler, bluish-aqua sparkle. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation but was best applied with a dampened brush or fingertips to maximize coverage as well as to ensure a more even application of product. The consistency was denser, almost too thick/dense, and didn’t play as well with brushes as a result. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly and had a touch of fallout over time.

Stroke of Midnight

Makeup Geek Stroke of Midnight Eyeshadow Palette x 9 ($35.00 for 0.58 oz.) is a limited edition, holiday release, which is still available. It includes nine full-sized eyeshadows across a mix of finishes and depths, though it is a more neutral palette overall. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the quality was more consistent across the palette than has been the norm for the brand in the last couple of years. I think the shades worked together well. It seems the brand has wised up and finally decreased the price of their pre-made palettes to $35 (they used to be $45), which is more… palatable.

Soiree

Soiree is a bright, cooler beige base with pink-to-peach shifting pearl. The eyeshadow had good color payoff in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer or applied with a dampened brush. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed in the pan, so it was a touch on the powdery side, but it seemed to “melt” slightly on my lid so it ended up looking quite smooth after a few minutes. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Magnifique

Magnifique is a medium, taupe-brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than a half of layer on top. The consistency was soft, blendable, though a little powdery in the pan so I had to be careful to tap off the excess to avoid fallout. It lasted nicely for seven and a half hours on me before fading a bit.

Amour

Amour is a muted, medium brown with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. There were very fine sparkles strewn throughout, but it looked and performed more like a matte eyeshadow in practice. It had good pigmentation that blended out well on my lid without sheering out too readily, despite having a slightly drier, dustier texture in the pan. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Insomnia

Insomnia is a medium-dark, reddish-brown base with green-to-blue shifting pearl. It had good color payoff with a soft, more loosely-pressed texture, so it was easy to over-apply product on my brush (which would result in fallout).

Elegance is a light-medium bronze with warm, rosy undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. It had opaque color coverage that adhered well to bare skin with a smooth, even application.

Leopard Sun

Tom Ford Beauty Leopard Sun Eye Color Quad ($88.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, permanent offering that features a sparkly gold, pop of orange, copper, and soft brown. For anyone who likes Tom Ford eyeshadows and warm-toned neutrals, it might be a good fit. I liked it, and I found the satin shades to be easy enough to use together, but it wasn’t perfect across the board. I do think that the more satin to softly shimmery finishes are underutilized by brands, as they tend to “melt” on the lid and look very smooth, as the shades in this quad did.

Leopard Sun #1

Leopard Sun #1 is a light-medium gold with warm, orange undertones and a sparkling, lightly metallic finish. It had semi-sheer pigmentation, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage (two to three layers), applied with a dry brush, but there was some fallout and sparkle migration as I blended it out. When I used it with a dampened brush, it had more opaque coverage in one layer, and it had less fallout. The texture was dense with slight slip but didn’t feel as “wet” as some of the glittery eyeshadows have felt in past Tom Ford quads. It wore well for seven hours with some fallout applied dry and closer to eight hours with less fallout applied damp.

Leopard Sun #2

Leopard Sun #2 is a bright pop of tangerine with strong, warm yellow undertones and a pearly sheen. It had excellent pigmentation with a soft, blendable texture that wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly pressed in the pan. It lasted well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Leopard Sun #3

Leopard Sun #3 is a muted, medium-dark coppery red with warm undertones and a satin finish. The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage that adhered fairly evenly to bare skin, but I felt like the texture had a bit more slip than ideal (likely from silicones) so it tended to need extra buffing along the edge to diffuse it well. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading slightly.

Leopard Sun #4

Leopard Sun #4 is a light-medium bronw with soft, warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had good color payoff that applied evenly to my lid, though the texture was slightly dusty so there was slight fallout when I tried using it the first time. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before I noticed some fading.

Together Furever

ColourPop Together Furever Super Shock Shadow Quad ($18.00 for 0.28 oz.) is the newest charitable collaboration between ColourPop and NKLA, which benefits the Best Friends Animal Society. All net profits from the purchase of any of the NKLA x ColourPop products (this set or the shades purchased individually) go to Best Friends Animal Society. I think those who tend to use one Super Shock Shadow as a lid or brightening shade will find the more glittery shades workable, but aside from Aristocat, these had room for improvement.

Cattitude

Cattitude is a light-medium gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation paired with a smooth, creamy consistency that felt “wet” to the touch, though it applied as a thin layer and dried down quickly (but was still blendable along the edges in its dried down state). It could have applied a little more evenly, though, and I had to be careful to let it dry down before adding another layer. This shade stayed on nicely for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Bow Wow

Bow Wow is a bright, peachy gold with warm undertones and a glittery finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which did not build up well, so it worked better to brighten an area or layered on top of another eyeshadow for extra sparkle. The texture felt a touch drier and had some fallout when I blended out the edges. Once I left it alone, it lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing, but there was some additional fallout over time.

Puppuccino

Puppuccino is a medium-dark copper with warm, brownish undertones and flecks of pink sparkle that gave it a more metallic sheen. The texture felt wetter to the touch, so there was more slip to it, which made it a little less foolproof to apply. It had opaque pigmentation that adhered well to bare skin but the edges were a little hard to diffuse seamlessly. It wore well for 10 hours without fading, creasing, or having noticeable fallout.

Aristocat

Aristocat is a medium-dark plum with warm, reddish-brown undertones and a satin finish. There was barely-there shimmer strewn throughout it, enough that it wasn’t matte, but not so much that it read overtly shimmery–could easily be used to add depth to a look. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and blendable on my skin. It yielded opaque pigmentation in a single layer that stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Smokey Jewels

Sephora Smokey Jewels PRO Eyeshadow Palette ($68.00 for 1.12 oz.) is another extension of the PRO Palette range, but unfortunately, it fell quite short. I wish it had done better because the color scheme made it stand out in a sea of warmer, more neutral palettes, and this had a cooler, earthy vibe with pops of color from green, teal, and purple. Every time I used this palette, it was frustrating to work with; every look took two to three times longer, I had a ridiculous amount of product below my lid (from fallout), and many shades lasted six to seven hours. While I experienced some powderiness and shorter-than-average longevity with the formula when it first debuted, this was a departure from that level of quality.

Alabaster

Alabaster is a soft peach with warm, yellow undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft, slightly dusty texture, but it adhered well with minimal fallout and blended out nicely without sheering out too readily. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Citrine

Citrine is a light green with warm undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was very powdery, which resulted in excess product kicked up in the pan and a tendency for fallout during application, even over primer. It had semi-opaque pigmentation but sheered out to more semi-sheer coverage on my lid, so I would recommend using this with a dampened brush to help it adhere to the lid. It stayed on well for seven hours on me before I noticed fading.

Crystal

Crystal is a light-medium plum with warm undertones and flecks of pink and copper micro-sparkle. It had sheer coverage that wasn’t buildable, and it still performed terribly in coverage and application using a dampened brush and/or primer. The texture was dry, gritty, and difficult to work with as there was a ton of fallout and very little transferred onto my lid. There seemed to be little longevity, though there was hardly any I could see on my lid. I could only see this being used to layer over another shade for added sparkle.
