Terra Moons M51 & Cosmic Dancer Extreme Multichrome Shadows Reviews & Swatches
M51
Terra Moons M51 Extreme Multichrome Shadow ($17.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a gray base with multichrome shifting shimmer that went from olive green to cooler green to bluish-lavender to purple paired with a metallic finish. It had opaque color coverage that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even laydown of product that was easy to blend out along the edges without losing the shift too readily.
The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed but well-formulated so the powder had enough binder to minimize fallout and have good adhesion to skin. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly on me.

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.

I could so see Cosmic Dancer upping the volume used with either Radiant Reflection or even Quintessence! Not that either one lacks anything, but I’m just imagining a multi-chrome with either, and BOOM!
Absolutely glorious – but I do think both ended up looking fairly similar to each other.
I have this two eyeshadows…they are simply amazing. Im addicted to multi chrome eyeshadow. I love my Clionadh, Devinah , Terra Moons, and Touch of glam multi chromes.😆😆
