Terra Moons Solar Cosmic Chameleons Reviews & Swatches (Part 1 of 2)
Antares
Terra Moons Antares Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) has a bright, pinky-coral base with shimmer that shifted between chartreuse green and gold paired with a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented where a little went a long way, while the texture was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly nor too loosely-pressed into the pan.
The shift was noticeable without having to look for it while retaining a visible base color. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$15.00/0.05 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be a cross between "vivid metallic and iridescent chameleon," so they have a stronger color base but a multichrome shift. The brand recommended applying over an eyeshadow primer and in a thin layer to "intensify the shift," though I did not personally find that primer necessarily impacted the shift as they were readily apparent used on their own.
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.
The vivid, more colored base helped make these easier to incorporate with other eyeshadows, too, so those who find multichromes daunting may like to start with this type of multichrome. They lasted between seven and eight hours on me before creasing visibly.

Daybreak
Terra Moons Daybreak Cosmic Chameleon Shadow ($13.00 for 0.05 oz.) is a pale yellow with subtle, warm undertones with shimmer that shifted between dirty green to chartreuse to gold to orange paired with a soft, metallic finish. The finish wasn’t as shiny or as metallic as most of the brand’s eyeshadows (observation, not a pro or a con).
The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed and a touch powdery with very little fallout during application. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. This shade stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Of these, it’s Antares for the win! Perfect enough dupe for PML Rose Venus for me.
Nancy that’s my fav too thought the exact same with PM dupe money saved. Although i want to pick up a few others.
I love Sun Scorched (and it is aptly named) and Antares is beautiful too.
Sun Scorched looks incredible! I love how shifty these all look.
Daybreak is like a ray of sunshine!
