Top Dupes
- Clionadh Monarch (P, $14.50).
Formula Overview
$17.00/0.05 oz. - $340.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a black base and "intense color changes" that are best applied with fingertip or a dry brush, as they are "very pigmented and smooth." The brand recommends not to blend them too much to "preserve the extreme multichrome shift."
The blackened base was noticeable, but often, it wasn't quite as dark or as intense as I've experienced with other black-base multichromes, so they were a little more forgiving if one blended them out a little too much. Most of the shades lived up to the "extreme" part of the shift, too!
They were richly pigmented with a soft, smooth consistency that was lightly emollient but not too thick or too densely-packed into the pan, so it was easy to pick up product with a dry brush as well as fingertips/dampened brushes if preferred. The eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. They lasted between seven and eight hours on me before creasing visibly.

Venus In Chains and Arcturus… how to decide on just one when I love both? I suppose by telling myself that Arcturus is “orange” and that Venus In Chains is “deep red”🤷🏻♀️
Arcturus is such a stunning shade – quite an original one too – really all of them are just fabulous.
These are all beautiful! I’m a sucker for vibrant colors & the quality looks amazing too.
I just placed two massive orders from TM and some of these shades are the ones I am getting. I’m not a fan of black base multichromes, so I’m hoping I didn’t accidentally buy any with black bases. LoL guess I’ll find out next month 😂😂
Definitely weren’t kidding about “extreme”!
Venus In Chains for me. What an amazing eyeshadow! Arcturus is even more stunning, but wouldn’t suit me as well as the cooler Venus In Chains.
I do like the four in one picture of multichromes. it makes it so easy to compare the shifting.
OPHIUCHUS Is giving off serious poison ivy vibes 😍💚🔥
