Terra Moons Big Bang, Titan, Mercury Extreme Multichrome Shadows Reviews & Swatches
Big Bang
Terra Moons Big Bang Extreme Multichrome Shadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a gray-based multichrome that shifted between red to warmer green to minty green to pale blue to lavender paired with a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and blended out without difficulty.
The consistency was soft, smooth, and finely-milled, though a touch more loosely-pressed in the pan so there was a smidgen of fallout if I wasn’t careful to press and pat it into place. The eyeshadow “melted” slightly after sitting on my lid for a minute, which gave it a very seamless effect. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Titan
Terra Moons Titan Extreme Multichrome Shadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a gray-based multichrome that shifted between darker, greenish-gold to brighter, yellow gold to cooler green paired with a sparkling, metallic finish. It had opaque color coverage, but the texture was slightly more loosely-pressed, so there was a little fallout during the initial application.
The product didn’t have as smooth of an application initially as some of the brand’s top-performing shades, so it was best pressed/patted into place. Alternatively, applying with a fingertip or a dampened brush gave immediately smooth, even, and fully opaque results. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

These shades are next level WOW factor! I own Big Bang but I should have gotten Mercury and Titan per your review and swatches. I will put it on my wish list for another time. I love both Clionadh and Terra Moons but its nice to know which ones are 100% dupes to avoid getting repeat shades. Thank you so much for the comparisons!
All of these are amongst my favourite eyeshadow shades and the multichrome aspect makes them that more special.
Big Bang is like an oil-slick rainbow of colors, OMG! Not sure how something like this would look on my particular eye shape, but I may be willing to find out!
Titan is also a beauty. Not as unique, though. Makes me think of sunlight!
I really like Terra Moon Cosmetics. Mostly the Iridescent Chameleons & the Multichromes. Great quality, the shine and the multichromes and iridescence are very noticeable.
All these TMs have been terrific. For me personally, the gray-based ones rule, as they are generally lighter and less in-your-face. I think my relatively deep set eyes make black based shadows look pretty stinky. Most non-indie black based look straight up black, and so do a few SGs from Autumn’s Reign. Not sure how you managed to teach me that, as busy as you were with the Nobel Prize eyeshadows.
